ZUBR ZESG-5500

Advantages: Price. Good performance on the label: voltage 2.7 kW. Acceptable fuel consumption. The tank lasts for a long time (at the construction site for about a week or two) with the expectation that the engine should be turned on only when a power tool is needed in operation, but in this case you can turn it on and off. Tank capacity 15 liters. Two sockets for 220V and output for 12V. Well start up in any weather (provided that there are normal candles and oil does not ooze from all holes)

Disadvantages: After a year of operation, the fuel supply tap (from the gas tank) became useless. Gum inside the crane is completely torn. Only replacement helps. But since I don’t have spare parts in the city, I’d wait for the order for a very long time, put a direct-flow from the tank (connecting hoses and adapters to the tank with the carburetor) determined exactly where from. It is inconvenient to change the oil, due to the location of the neck for filling. Very noisy (in principle, like all similar gasoline generators). The real power of 2.2 kW if you connect more, the generator chokes and stalls. Although the instructions say that the maximum load of 3 kW - a lie. The heavy weight of the generator requires four hands to move. It is possible and in two but there is a chance that you will tear your back. The wheels of this tool would not hurt.

Comment: All of the above failures (breakdown of the faucet, and oil leaks) occurred after about 600 hours. In my opinion, not enough for a new generator. So either you have to repair it yourself, or give it to the service. Before buying read reviews on Hyundai HHY3000F many had the same problems with the crane, and it can already be called a disease for this model.
In general, the device is satisfied. I use for the period of construction, because with the electricity at the facility temporary difficulties. With the help of this assistant, we managed to do a lot of work, and save time and money.
After construction I do not plan to sell - I will use it as an emergency source of energy.
It is a pity that you have to bring to mind and get rid of marriage with their own hands.

All peace and good!

Advantages: lightweight, powerful, convenient, low noise, easy to start, inexpensive

Disadvantages: reliability is in doubt

Comment: I'm already 3 years old. for the price probably the best you can buy

after 300 hours of operation, the fuel rubber tube (from the tank to the carburetor) was wiped on the vibration clamp and ... benz poured. during the inspection, I realized that I had to tear off my hands to such engineers - a barely rubber tube attached with some kind of crimp. when it is a matter of time. would put a normal reinforced hose and clamp - pennies and safety is several times higher. I advise you to change when buying immediately !!!!
after 800-1000 hours of work, the turnovers began to grow without electric load (or rather, after the electric kettle 2kv worked). the service said they broke off the brush in the engine.

it is convenient to carry - you can drag one into the car
it makes noise near normal, but it is enough to move away and the noise no longer bothers you.
Benz doesn’t eat much under load <500W, but at 2kv prepare a bigger canister.

Advantages: Silent, easy.

Comment: I was looking for information before the purchase, about whether it can be used for electric welding. Found not much, almost nothing. In stores, all consultants say in one voice that at least 5 kW is required for welding. I originally thought it was nonsense. On the question of how they are so calculated, of course, you will not hear anything reasonable. They say there is a lot of start-up and other crap. But there is such a science as physics, with quite clear laws. P = UI. From here it turns out that Power = 22 (such a voltage is on average on the electrode, from 20 to 24) * 60 (I need such ammeters for welding). 22 * 60 = 1320, add 20% here, such is the additional load at the start of any tool. It turns out only 1.6 kW. ))) So what. We bought this agrigat in short, despite the consultant's utter nonsense. And voila, everything works fine. The result is - you can cook calmly, I think up to 100 amps calmly.

Advantages: creates little noise, reliable, optimum power, normal fuel consumption

Comment: I bought a generator for holding discos in recreational areas (the so-called open air). Specially chose the least noisy. They advised this, in principle, they are quieter - but there was no time to experiment then. He showed himself to work very well. For me, reliability is a matter of life and death of my enterprise. The generator never failed me - honestly worked for 7-8 hours 6 times a week. Pulls 1.8 kW amplifier plus light (LED lights, ultraviolet, strobe). Voltage drops does not give, it works very smoothly. A tank of fuel for the night is enough without refueling. Several times under the rain fell - everything worked out. The size is very convenient, a couple of times in the trunk of the car loaded - normally fits. In general - quite pleased with the purchase. Five points.

Advantages: Nice view, good build, great start, economical and convenient to transport

Disadvantages: Changing the oil and spark plugs every 50 hours, in my opinion too often.

Comment: If you take for yourself completely, and if for teams, then you must bring the rules of operation to people and strictly follow them, any deviation leads to instantaneous breakdown (and under the warranty you will not repair it) the manufacturer specifically calculated it. For example, the workers forgot to turn on the ignition and started to wind up, as a result, gasoline got into the muffler and when they brought it in, it exploded so that the muffler broke and most of it flew away. Due to the fact that they were incorrectly jammed, something else went out of order, in short I gave it to the service and was waiting for the advertisement of the cost of repair.
And now I will buy the second (((

Advantages: Quiet and economical. Consumption is somewhere a liter of AI-92 per hour. The vibration is practically absent. It is healthy to start in a strong frost. Good painting of parts and a pleasant appearance. (Although this is not the main thing)

Disadvantages: It is not very convenient to change the oil ... It would be possible to attach a special funnel.

Comment: Worked out a generator for more than a year at a construction site of a house of two floors. Still alive, use it as a reserve now. For the year of operation, I changed two candles and oil according to the regulations. For an oil change, I bought a funnel with a flexible spout for 40 rubles in auto parts and the problem disappeared. On the whole, everything is fine, he did not let me down.

Advantages: A manufacturer with a name, although I was told in the store that he had nothing to do with a car brand.
Compact - I got into the trunk of a 7-ki easily, although it didn’t fit in Logan, I had to push it into the backseat. Relatively light (41 kg.without fuel) - one person can move it and with an effort to lift it to a small height, but it’s better together in the trunk. There is a drain hole for oil (at first I didn’t notice, I started to drain from the hole for filling the oil, so gasoline flowed out of the tank when it was tilted). Gasoline consumption seems reasonable to me. Not noisy. Easy to start. Price - in the construction hypermarket for 12 thousand.

Disadvantages: No hour meter. With him, the model was more expensive at 3 tr, simultaneously with auto start, but it is heavier. There are no wheels for re-rolling (I don’t know if it is available as additional equipment). The gas tank cap is not tightly sealed, when leaking about 30 degrees the fuel flows. Inside the gas tank before the fuel inlet, we found toli, dust, toli, hatched pieces of the inner coating of the tank (did not shake out).

Comment: The generator was bought for the treatment of a wooden log house 6x6 m. (Grinding, sawing boards, antiseptic coating). He worked for a week and a half practically without rest (turned off during lunch and 2-3 times for prekury), 2 Bulgarians 840 and 1300 watts were powered from it at the same time, a spray gun of 350 watts, a circular saw of 450 watts separately. Plant all the time with one jerk)). Gasoline consumption was about 30-35 liters for the entire period, and the more it worked, the lower the fuel consumption was. Oil poured 10 W 40, because recommended 10W30 not found in the store. The first time I changed the oil after 5 days of work (it was black). Working model, all the tools were good, grunted truth at the time of the start of the grinder during the second one. In general, I advise you as an inexpensive and, seemingly, reliable source of electricity for workers.

Comment: Bought this generator 2 years ago, was needed for work purposes. The seller of course warned us that, say, this model is far from being “professional”, but still took a chance and took it. We exploit it both in hot weather and in cold weather. This unit showed itself only on the positive side. It weighs relatively little, calmly carry it in the trunk of the car. 15 liter tank lasts up to 7 hours. Of the minuses - specifically in this model there is no electr. Sarter (in the store was not when they took, the seller said that they disassemble instantly), so sometimes you have to tinker to start. For all the time of use I had to contact the service twice, once the carburetor was clogged, in the other - the manual starter cable broke. Protection in it is, so ok, do not overload. Change oil and candles regularly - will last a long time. Generally recommended as a reliable and proven unit (if, of course, you do not need 2.5kW of electricity).

Comment: The generator was purchased a year ago for the construction of a country house. The device worked for 6-10 hours a day
during the whole year. There were no problems. Starts with a half turn in any weather, including winter.
There is a large muffler, due to which the engine is very quiet. Neighbors did not complain.
Fuel consumption (AI-92) is quite acceptable, about 1 liter per hour, although the instructions stated more.
Copes with any power tools. Currently washed and used as a backup source.
power supply. Reliable, economical and inexpensive device. I advise everyone.

Advantages: Good power, easy to start, small
size, not very big need for fuel,
does not lose power after long use.

Disadvantages: Heavy

Comment: My wife and I took it to the dacha even in the summer, a very good thing. Recently went to the cottage, he still works fine. Gasoline is needed not so much, but the power is good. Also pleased with the size. As they say a little yes udalenky.
