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.

Ordered this inverter generator to replace a smaller one I used during the recent storm very impressed with the service from Trade tested the generator was well packaged and after a simple assembly of wheels and handle added some oil and petrol and it started immediately very impressive I would definitely recommend bothered Trade tested and the Newman generator very happy with both

Bought this as an emergency generator and if works well the first time, and haven't needed to use it in an emergency yet. Easy enough to assemble, but would have been nice had there been better instructions on where things were (had to hunt around a little).

We recently purchased this generator. We had done a lot of research before deciding which generator would suit our needs best. We wanted a generator that was suitable for running essential items during power cuts. We wanted enough power for it to be worthwhile, but we did not want to spend too much money. We are very happy with our choice. We ordered online and the communication and tracking facility were excellent. The item arrived in a timely fashion, delivered to our doorstep. We have not had a generator before so we found the manual very useful. We are still running our generator in, but so far it has been easy to start and reliable. It is easy to move with a useful handle and great wheels. It is a bit noisy as you would expect, but we were not prepared to pay more money for a quieter one, when we are not likely to use it very often, and as it runs outside, the noise is not a big problem. I was impressed by the after sales service by way of email, asking if we had any questions and offering support. All round we are very impressed with the generator and the service we received from Trade Tested.

We are all packed up ready to head away in the morning adventuring for who knows how long, but our Newman generator has us covered power-wise in our camper!! Great little model & easy to start. Yahoo ….excited!

Living in the country is great, but we rely on water from a deep bore, about 40 metres below ground, which is then pumped another 40 meters up hill to a Tank. An electrical Burnout left our family with no way of filling our water tank, this means no toilets, no showers, no water for stock and "OH My God NO COFFEE" ...... but actually not funny, had just soaped myself up in the shower when the water stopped and had to wipe it all off with a towel, lucky there was still about a litre in the jug ......
Cue "Trade Tested" the guys moved heaven and hell to get a Generator to us so we could fill our tanks !!
I'm an Engineer so appreciate the Quality of this little 3 Phase unit, I wired up a cable to the pump and we had water, thats a great feeling believe me !!
The Generator itself is Nice and compact, starts easily on the pull chord (Battery was flat from storage but has charged now) even the Missus who struggles starting a mower can start this, Electric start is great and automatically works the choke circuit.
Most Country houses are 3 phase because of current limitations on the poles, in an emergency if you hook up a single phase generator to your house you'll only get one circuit livened up, maybe lights, maybe a few hotpoints, maybe kitchen, you get the idea. The bonus for us with this little 3 phase unit is that you can liven up the whole house in a blackout ...... ok so you can only pull 2kw of current per phase, but it will keep your fridges going, boil a jug, lighting, TV, computers, charge stuff as long as your sensible about what you expect the little Newman Generator is a total life saver !!
Using in the Back of the Car with hatch and doors open so I can drive it too and from the pump as needed .... Farms always have spare cars :-)
and thanks to the Trade Tested Team for getting it here Quickly !!

Overall, very good generator. Powerful enough to run most stuff at home, although perhaps not everything at once, which is fine. During a recent power cut, it ran my computer, screens, internet modem etc. for about 5 hour without any problems. Have also run the water pump, deep freezer and refrigerator together no problem.
It is reasonably noisy. I put it outside, on the other side of garage and it was okay. I recommend getting a couple of good length extension cords and doing something similar.
It is quite heavy. If you are going to need to move it around a lot, it may be better to get something with wheels.
The only minor quibble I have is that the label for the choke doesn't make it clear which way is which. The generator won't start without the choke, so if you get it wrong, you can waste a lot of effort pulling the starter. I slapped on my own "Start / Run" label to fix the issue - no biggie.

I bought this generator due to a 2 day power outtage during the rage of Gabriel. Since on a rural property with no power we didn't have the luxury of pressure water since our water pump was out.
The generator....the auto choke using the remote start is great, starts quickly every time. It's quiet under no load. The rated 3800 watts continuous output should be enough power to run fridges, pumps and other essential household appliances....but not water heaters nor oven/stove.
You will have to make custom power leads with power block terminations to feed your appliances.
The operator manual is excellent and not in Chinese gobbledygook.
All in all the Newman is a well designed generator that is fit for purpose. It's much cheaper than it's Japanese equivalents too.
Would be 5 stars except the generator needs an output switch/ relay. The manual says loads must be off during start and on generator shutdown...so you have to run around and make sure all appliances are off. Why not turn the loads off by a switch at the generator!!?? Simple! Maybe future models might incorporate this brainwave.
I can't comment on reliability as I've only used it a dozen times. The future will speak, but so far the Newman is great...although heavy (90 odd pounds). Another great feature is another Newman can be paralleled with a Newman accessory cable with this generator for higher output.

This is perfect for my needs during the regular power outages in my area. It has enough grunt to power my water pump, fridge, freezer & many other devices (not all at once but it is easy enough to change leads as necessary.).

Just arrived looks good cant wait to try it ..order Wednesday arrived friday

Since purchasing this item. I have had no problems what so ever. The shipping was fast and the company was soo polite and understanding.
Definitely would recommend them.

Excellent generator . Since 28/5/19 it has done 97 hours. At 100 hours it will be getting its fifth oil change. I am doing the oil changes more often than recommended to look after my investment, with a good quality oil . Once again excellent .CHEERS Evan & Shirl
