Opinion on Anditiger silent diesel generators

[Pada]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to know if anyone here has any experience with Anditiger silent diesel generators, like the ones advertised here?

I'm looking for a decent 7.5kVA - 10kVA 3-phase diesel generator, that won't break the bank, so that I can run fairly expensive sound, visual & lighting equipment off it. Like a 9.5kVA Kipor generator would be around R60k, where as this Anditiger 7.5kVA one goes for sub R15k.
Currently we have a cheap Ellies 2.5kW petrol generator and its power output isn't even clean enough to run my APC in-line UPS from it

Advice, opinions & reviews are much appreciated!

Not sure I would call 70-72db silent:

... vacuum cleaner (70 dB) - Upper 70s are annoyingly loud to some people.

Buy decent or buy twice.

I wouldn't touch a chinese gen with a 10ft pole unfortunately, but I am biased as I work in the gen business.

Is an "in-line" UPS a UPS that is well behaved?

Thanks for the feedback so far. I guess I'll also need feedback someone who actually owns one so that my opinion isn't just based off speculation.

70 - 72dB seems pretty standard to me, when comparing it with the same kind of generator from Kipor? I don't mind something that is audible, as long as it's not very loud.

An in-line UPS is one that will send through exactly what came in as its power source and does not feed always from the battery source like the on-line (aka double conversion) ones.

Apparently they have some Honda components in them, however I'm not sure which
I'm also concerned about unknown Chinese brands like this in terms of AVR...

Those things you work on are bigger than some engines that power ocean liners!
Osso I need to chat to you about gennies sometime.

Kipor's SS (Super Silent) gensets run at < 50dB... Their normal ones are about 60dB. Huge differences there.
