200

No clue if these are any good or even if they're well priced at this discount but clearance is clearance. Store item details below.

If you need power, but noise could be an issue, then you’d be hard-pressed to find a generator that run as quietly as The ToolPRO range of suitcase-frame digital inverters. As the smaller of the two, the 1100 watt model is compact and easy to haul around - making this generator great for camping and for use in remote locations. It has a generous 3 litre, easy-access fuel tank feeding its whisper quiet 70cc engine. With a noise output of only 55 decibels at 7 metres, this generator is seriously quiet - making it perfect for campsite use, or anywhere else that you’d still like to be able to hold a conversation.

The 1100 watt peak power rating means that this generator can run your personal appliances, lighting and smaller power tools with no trouble. Like all the generators in the ToolPRO range, this one uses pure sine-wave technology, meaning that the generator is safe to use with your sensitive electronics, such as laptops cameras and phones. The ToolPRO eleven hundred watt generator comes equipped with a single 240 volt AC power outlet, a 12 volt DC socket, and two 5 volt USB ports - offering a lot of versatility.

It’s also equipped with a DC circuit breaker and safety indicator lights with auto shut-off for low oil, and AC power overloads, so you know that you and your devices are well protected. If anything does go wrong, there are service centres all over Australia and New Zealand, as well as a dedicated hotline for diagnostics that can help you out; all ToolPRO generators come with a 24 month warranty. If you need a compact and quiet generator for the campsite - then the ToolPRO 1100 watt, suitcase generator is the perfect choice.

    Not bad but 'leaking fuel' and fuel fumes got mentioned in the reviews which would be a real negative on the road camping

    • Hard to disagree with that but I'd be wondering how much that has to do with cross threading or similar.

  • +6

    1100W peak, had to download manual to find continuous rating which is 900W.

    The 2200W (2000W continuous) open frame is $299 if you can find stock.

      Not sure one of those'd go down well on a campsite ;)

      • I'm not good at judging the difference based on the db ratings, 55 vs 68.

        • +3

          won't matter if you're using it to power your ninja bullet

        • Me neither, they're pretty close.

        • +3

          13 dB is 12 x the sound pressure level.

          So one open-frame will be as loud as 12 of the camping models.
          That is not as bad as you might think, but still a lot louder.

          • +2

            @bargaino: Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't it be 10^(13/10) or ~20 times the sound pressure level?

            But due to the logarithmic nature of human senses, this is not as much as it sounds. Theoretically standing 4x distance to the loud generator should be around the same SPL as 1x distance to the quieter one.

            • @Unselected: Not wrong. 10*Log[20 items] = +13dB. So it is the equivalent of having 20 gen-sets. But not 20x the sound level. Humans perceive sound such that a 10dB increase in sound level sounds about twice as loud.

            • +1

              @Unselected: sorry, brain fart. yes, 20 x.
              Which is half as many as how many years ago I learned logarithms :-)
              10bD is 10x, so 3dB is approximately double. 2 x 10 = 12. d'oh!

            • @Unselected: Inverse square laws apply.. :)

              • +1

                @bchliu: Unless I clowned it up, I feel like I did apply them.

                4x the distance = 4^2 = 16 times less power

                Power to dB: 10log(1/16) = -12dB, close enough to -13 :)

                • @Unselected: That's what I mean.. energy is dispersed three dimensionally so it will be inverse squared and will not be very loud unless you are literally right next to it. BTW, good maths.. it looks correct to me.

      • Yeah you dont want to escape the city life, find a tranquil camp area and then be that douche bag running his shitty stinking, noisy generator.

        Dont be that guy.

      doesn't seem to be in stock literally anywhere

      • +1

        Delivery might be the only option for an extra $14.99

      • In stock at Yarraville, Maribynong, Sunshine & Essendon in Victoria

      • None in or near the ACT. Is this Vic only?

        • No, available multiple locations in NSW and QLD too

  • +1

    Only Good for 3.75A @ 240v

    • Par for the course on a 900 watt. Its plenty if youre buying this size.

    Last time I was up in central Qld, the only bloke using a generator at the campsite was getting a lot of shirty looks from people - everyone has solar now. Still might be useful on a job site

    • Cyclones and power down for days… recharge laptops and keep the Engels N70ZZ charged. Solars great if you use it, but pulled out of the shed once every 4 or so years, Id prefer this.

      • Yes that's fair enough. Definitely good for dodgy country power outages

  • The gentrax 2 and 4k units from outbax are rated at 58db @7m. They often go on sale with the 2k at around this price.

    • I would rather deal with supercheap than Outbax who has a bad reputation of poor after sale service and lying on specifications.

  • Solar batteries have around $1000 extra charge for blackout functionality. So the 2000w model would be a good alternative.

  • +1

    How long would it take to charge my eneloops ?

    • +3

      …about 9 miles

  • There would have been room in the title for "Sine" and "peak" thanks

    • +1

      Now says "peak 900W" :-)

  • +1

    Thanks OP. I was about to buy a second hand 63cc Homelite 720W 2 stroke but I remembered this deal. Pure sine wave is a lot better for my sensitive electronics thanks.
