Why Newman Generators?
Newman Generators are designed for one thing — dependable portable power for New Zealand conditions. Whether you're running tools on a remote worksite, keeping the lights on during a storm, powering a caravan off-grid, or running a food truck at a festival, there's a Newman generator sized for the job.
The range splits into two families. Digital Inverter generators (1,100W to 8,000W) produce clean, stable pure sine wave power that's safe for laptops, phones, and sensitive electronics — and they run quieter with economy mode for lighter loads. Conventional petrol generators (1,200W to 6,500W) deliver raw power at a lower price point, ideal for tools, pumps, and lighting where clean power isn't critical. Both families run on regular unleaded petrol with low-oil automatic shutoff for engine protection. All backed by a 2 year warranty and supported locally by Trade Tested — New Zealand's home improvement specialists.
We're sold exclusively through Trade Tested, New Zealand's home improvement retailer, with full NZ-based customer support for every purchase.
Warranty
Newman generators come with a 2 year residential warranty and 6 month commercial warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It does not cover normal wear items (spark plugs, air filters), misuse, neglect, overloading, improper maintenance, or unauthorised modifications. Original purchaser only — proof of purchase required. Warranty claims are handled by Trade Tested.
Support
NZ-based customer support — real people who know the product and can actually help.

Works Great
Great generator. Works well for the price
Quiet Power Supply
Very happy with this generator. Remote works well over a long distance. When on a 25m extension lead, you can just hear this operating. Only negative would be not having a fuel gauge but I guess I'll know when it runs out!
Newman Generator
we bought this product from Trade Tested and has been amazing for our work site , very quiet , easy to start, handle the saw and few bateries on charge.
Brilliant
An excellent portable/luggable generator. At 94Kg it's fine on solid ground but gets interesting to move on soft or sloping terrain. Well made and good quality with everything needed in the box including the plug for a power supply to a caravan or house. Not a pure sine generator but maintains a stable voltage under variable loads.
Great little generator
Really happy with this purchase. I wanted a back-up power supply for our home and as long as I'm careful with the load I'll be able to pretty much keep the house running as normal.... including fridge/freezer, heat pump etc. Electric start is a real bonus too !

I bought one of these generators nearly 2 years ago. Product performed beyond expectations. Had a defect recently but Trade Tested put it right without hesitation. Can fully recommend product and Trade Tested.
Warning re fuel left in generator tank
I have owned one of these generators for nearly 2 years and have run it for about 50 hours in total. I drain the carb after each use. Today I drained all the fuel from the tank with a syphon pump and was astounded to see the inside of the fuel VERY rusty. Probably limited life left in it! BE AWARE!
Almost great.
We ran the generator in yesterday and about 2 hours in the ac plugs stopped working. We tried to shut the generator down to reset them but found we couldn't. The start stop switch is faulty. We were still able to run it in for 5 hours and were able to reset the ac sockets without shutting the generator off. To shut it down we had to switch the fuel supply off and let it choke. On the plus side it did start first time and everything ran perfectly except the on off switch. We will get an electrician to fix it. I would have given this generator five stars were it not for the faulty switch.
