However, as with any diesel engine, just like a car, the sound created by running the diesel engine can still be heard.This 3000rpm air-cooled generator would be classed as a silent generator within the market. This is common in the generator industry due to the sound attenuation used within the enclosed canopy. However, this generally means the unit is silenced, not actually silent.This canopy also has an easy access panel within the canopy for accessing the battery, filters or fuses, making any routine maintenance very simple to do.The B&D BxGND5300E quiet generator has the ability to run off red diesel, making it a cost-effective solution for backup, farm or workshop power requirements.

Will this suit your power needs? We recommend that you can make a list of all items you want to run from the generator in the event of a power cut and then check the sticker/spec plate of the item. They usually state what power they require somewhere on the appliance. Make a list of the power requirement of all items, and if the wattage adds up to 5000W or just less than that amount, this is the generator for you!With all 3000rpm generators, they are ideal for infrequent use around the farm, in workshops or for backup power supply in the event of a power cut. However, they are not meant to be used for 'Prime' power. For continuous use, you should look at investing in a water-cooled 1500rpm generator.As well as being the well-known and trusted brand of Black & Decker, for your peace of mind, the BxGND5300E also comes with a 2 year guarantee*.At a Glance:Suitable for backup power, workshops or mobile field repairsProvides up to 5.3kW / 6.6kVA of powerQuiet running with sound-proofed canopyElectric-start technology for an easy start each and every timeClean power suitable for sensitive electronic equipmentCompatible with optional ATS for reliable backup powerOverload and low oil protection2 year guarantee*Specifications:MANUFACTURER Black & DeckerMAx.
