Hyundai HHY960A

Low fuel consumption

The main feature of the Korean unit is low fuel consumption — only 400 mL per hour. Thus, the generator is able to work up to 10 hours with a full tank (4 L) at 50% load (about 400 W). This is very useful if the lights were turned off from evening to morning, but you want to watch TV or surf the Internet. The device is quite compact, so it will easily fit into the boot of a car. The engine power of 850 W is enough for a small tool, such as a grinder, a jigsaw or a drill, as well as for a couple of car refrigerators to go on a picnic. In addition, you can power the microwave and blender. But for welding, you should look at more powerful three-phase models. Also, the engine is 2-stroke, so you always need to follow the exact proportion of oil and gasoline (mixed in advance) in order to avoid failure of the piston system.

Automatic shutdown in case of overloads

The generator is equipped with an automatic shutdown function. At a high load (above the nominal), it turns off the engine, thereby preventing its breakdown. The fuel level indicator signals the remaining gasoline in the tank, so you can always top up on time. Unlike its more expensive counterparts, the Hyundai HHY960A does not have a noise-canceling shroud, so the consumer will have to put up with a loud sound (like a compressor). Also, the model has only one outlet for connecting equipment, so for two or more items you will need a tee or extension cord.

Design features of the device

A nice addition to the complete set of the device is a cable with terminals for charging the car battery. The case is equipped with rather uncomfortable wheels — during operation, due to vibration, the device “dances” on the surface. Because of this, the generator must be placed on a non-slip surface. However, this disadvantage is compensated by the relatively low price of the model.
