MaxWatt MX8000i
Take stable portable power wherever it is needed with the MaxWatt MX8000i. With 8000 W maximum and 7000 W continuous output, it has useful capacity for everyday tools, appliances, electronics and mobile-work loads without stepping up to a larger stationary set. Its inverter-based output is suited to equipment that benefits from clean, controlled power, while the portable format works well for backup, camping, service vehicles and remote jobs. CPS can help confirm the load, expected runtime, charging options, accessories and delivery before you buy.

Almost every conversation about generator sizing starts with two numbers: kVA and kW. They sound similar, they're closely related, and they're almost always mis-used. The beer-glass analogy below is the fastest way to get them straight in your head — and once you do, every spec sheet in the catalogue suddenly makes sense.
A generator is really three machines bolted together: an engine, an alternator, and a controller. They each do one job, and they all have to talk to each other for the unit to behave properly.
Almost every customer who asks us 'should I get diesel or petrol?' gets the same answer: it depends on the duty. For occasional camp / weekend use under 8 kVA, petrol is cheaper to buy and lighter to move. For anything that has to start reliably after sitting unused — backup, standby, prime-power — diesel wins, almost always.
