Forte FG 3500 (44067)

Medium Duty Gasoline Generator

The Forte FG 3500 generator with a rated power of 2.5 kW and two 230 V sockets can “pull” a couple of fairly powerful household appliances at once (for example, a refrigerator and a gas boiler or an electric kettle plus lighting throughout the house). These characteristics are enough to comfortably wait until the repairmen fix problems with the power grid. The automatic voltage regulator will make sure that the connected equipment receives the current of exactly the quality that it needs for normal operation. In addition to conventional sockets, the generator has 12 V terminals, from which you can recharge the car battery.

A simple motor with not the simplest character

The engine (which, by the way, is a Chinese copy of one of the Honda engines) lacks stars from the sky, but it cannot be called weak either. He has 6.5 "horses". The engine starts the old fashioned way, with the help of a cable, but you can also buy a version with an electric starter (it is a little more expensive). Consumption of 95th gasoline is moderate (1.3 L / h). The stock of fuel that fits in the tank is enough for 11.5 hours.

The motor works well and rumbles not too loudly, but it has a capricious character. Sometimes, for no reason at all, speed can jump. This behavior is easily eliminated by adjustment, but for this you need to have at least a basic understanding of the design of engines and carburetors. If you don't like getting your hands dirty, then Forte generators are not for you.

Low-cost generator just in case

Forte FG 3500 is one of the cheapest models among gasoline generators. Despite the "low-cost", it may well become the "lifesaver" that will save your home in the event of a sudden power outage. But he does not pretend to be a generator working at a construction site for many hours in a row. Firstly, its motor resource is not as large as that of more expensive counterparts. And secondly, the manufacturer does not recommend using this gas generator in the rain or at high humidity.
