Pros for the Hyundai 2000W Portable Petrol Inverter Generator:
- Having the Eco mode on this generator is a great way to help you get the most out of this machine with improves efficiency across the board and helps you save money in the long run.
- It is easy to carry around and weighs only 21kg which is very manageable with a solid handle. The expected runtime compares very well against other generator brands at 8 hours long with the 3.8 litre petrol fuel tank.
- The display dashboard is very impressive with all the key parameter and all the key technical information that you would need. Everything worked exactly as stated and we found the LCD screen to be easy to read and follow.
- We also liked the fact that it has the built in overload system and a low noise level of just 58 dBA at 7m so the level of noise was a lot lower than expected and compares better than many other noisy generators that we have come across in the past which is perfect for motor homes, camping or caravan parks.
- The range of accessories included in the box is excellent and provides all you need to get you started so you don’t need to worry about sourcing stock elsewhere. You get the spark plug, charging cables, engine oil and a fuel additive to mention just a few so we were impressed that all of this was also included in the package.
- This machine comes backed with a 3 year warranty which gives great peace of mind and protection when making a purchase of this size and it can also be used as a back up in your home for power loss incidents
Cons for the Hyundai 2000W Portable Petrol Inverter Generator:
- The price here is not all that bad to be fair but is will still set you back generally over £500 which won’t be affordable for everyone.
- The level of power is adequate but there are plenty of other more powerful generators available out there that give superior levels of power than this.
Price Guide: £500 to £600

You can visually monitor the key functions and levels with the LCD display to make sure it is fully operational and trouble free. Another thing also is the fact that there is no messy mixing of fuels either as all you have to do is add fresh unleaded petrol when needed. The main parts, functions and their locations for this generator are outlined in the image below.
The main safety tips to note when using this Generator is as follows:
- Never use in an enclosed area as the engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide – always use outdoors in a well-ventilated area
- Always stop the generator before refueling again and it should be kept 1 meter away from all other equipment or tools.

My generator arrived promptly, well packaged. It arrived with engine oil and fuel funnel but no leads or connectors. Once the oil was put in via the side cover and fuel added it started promptly. I have only test run it with a 2kw kettle connected which boiled successfully.
