8500E Generator 8.5kVA
The Westinghouse 8500 generator is by far our favourite petrol generator here at Commodore, it is an absolute workhorse. Now with the release of the NEW two-wire auto start model in the 8500, you get both power and two-wire auto start ability that is usually only seen in much more expensive water-cooled diesel generators. Westinghouse is one of the only petrol generators with a two-year warranty and I can see why, in all of the Westinghouse generators that we've sold we have never seen one come back faulty.
High-Performance
The Utility Series of Westinghouse generators are compact, high-performance units designed specifically for Australian operating conditions. Equipped with a unique combination of high-quality features, they offer superior value for money. There is a bit of a myth with generators that diesel is superior to petrol, in air-cooled generators that is certainly not the case, there is a much bigger demand for petrol generators around the world than what there is for diesel and hence why you can get a reliable powerful petrol generator for < $3k.
