Our Take: Haier Thermocool has been well known as a brand of electronics in Nigeria for many decades, so when they decided to start making generators, we knew it should a reliable product. This is bigger than the CAPTAIN here) is almost at the high end of the petrol generator range. It carries a 6.5 KVA starting capacity and a running capacity of 6.0kva. This generator like others in its class is a single-phase generator, meaning it will generate just one positive output line; don’t worry except you have a factory in your flat, this is mostly adequate. Using the 220v used in Nigeria, this generator is capable of supplying about 27Amps. This is enough to operate some high-energy demanding scenarios.
For load capacity, its 27A roughly translates to two 32-inch TV, 5 60W bulbs, 4 ceiling fans, 2 1.5-HP AC, and a large (about 200L) refrigerator; this will get your generator to about 70% capacity. Note the running your generator at the full capacity continuously will reduce the life span, increase the frequency of required service, and increase fuel consumption. The 30L tank should run for at least 10 hours at 100% load and about 16 hours on half load; meaning your TV, Fans, 1.5HP ACs and Fridge. I use a generator from this series so I can vouch for the fuel efficiency.
The generator can be rolled as it is with tires and has both key and remote starting feature along with the tried and tested recoil starting method. I personally love the remote control function, makes you feel like a king. I will definitely recommend this generator for a sizeable household like a three bedroom flat or a small office complex; the capacity should be enough. Just make sure your buy at a reliable seller to make sure you are buying the original.
