Makita G2800L 2800 Watt Power Generator
Powered by a 6 horsepower Robin EX Series engine, Makita's new generator, the G2800, will give the competition a run for its money. The new EX Series engines are the first to bring high performance chain drive Overhead Cam (OHC) technology to the industrial air cooled engine market.The recoil starter system, featuring an advanced automatic compression system and electronic ignition, makes for easy starting and reliable, consistent service, even in colder weather. The G2800 provides 9.7 hours of run time at half load thanks to the 3.7-gallon durable metal fuel tank. The commercial duty electrical controls and engine are protected from damage by the metal cage design and impact resistant materials.
Makita G1100 1100 Watt Power Generator
Makita's offering in the sub 1kW class is the G1100. Powered by a 2.5 HP Robin EX Series engine equipped with high performance, chain driven Overhead Cam ( OHC) technology for durability, the G1100 generator provides 900 running watts and 4.2 hours of run time at half load from the 1.1 gallon fuel tank.
A handy to carry suitcase design coupled with a dry weight of just 55lbs makes the G1100 easy to carry wherever remote power is needed - camping, on a jobsite, recharging a battery or just keeping a few essentials running when commercial power fails.
Makita G4300L 4300-Watt Power Generator
You would need to be getting a pretty attractive discount on list price to make the Makita G4300L a more attractive proposition when compared to some of its more feature rich competitors in the 3kW class of portable generators. Fortunately discounts of over 30% are available which does make this unit, powered by a 9 HP Makita OHC engine, putting out 3700 watts of continuous power a more appealing proposition.
Makita G6100R 5,800 Watt Generator
The confusingly named Makita G6100R is occasionally available for less than $1500, at which price it is remarkable good value for money.
A reliable 11-horsepower overhead valve Robin (Subaru) EH34D engine provides 4,800 watts of continuous power and up to 5800 watts of maximum power for up to 7 hours from a single fill of the 5.6 gallon tank.
Other features include convenient 120/240 dual voltage output, 12-volt DC output, idle control, a brushless alternator, water deflecting louvers, GFCI safety outlet and a USDA approved spark arrester.
