    WhatsApp messages to friends and business partners that could land people in jail in South Africa

    Ryobi Generator RG-3500 4 years old

    Agreed about keeping it - the storm last month knocked our street off grid for 12 days and without the gennie on rainy days we'd a been miserable. JUST don't try and charge your batteries with the generator. My sparky was adamant the output was too dirty (variable voltage, frequency and...
