10.8kVA (9000W) MaxWatt Petrol Inverter Generator MX9000IS

At 62dB from seven metres, the MX9000IS keeps its voice down while it works. It is a 10.8kVA MaxWatt petrol inverter generator producing pure sine wave power, the kind that laptops, TVs and medical equipment can drink straight from the socket.

It earns its keep in two lives. Parked at home it keeps the fridge, lights, fans and phones going when the grid drops; loaded up it powers the caravan, the market stall or the job site for around 8.5 hours a tank.

It also carries 2-wire auto start, so it can pair with a transfer switch for hands-free home backup rather than being a purely portable machine.

A common sight around Townsville, on the back of utes through the dry season and outside houses through the wet.
