Villagers and Elders I need a VERY small and efficient Generator preferably one that ...

produces little noise , consumption ya petrol kama nduthi. I’m getting ready for Elnino I bet KPLC will literary screw kenyans na mashida za stima.

Enough output for a laptop, T.V and a Fridge. nothing else.

Useful comments only.

Thank You!

There are those small generators hawkers use, I think some are Tiger brand from China where you mix a litre of petrol with a cap of oil and that’s enough fuel to last for a whole day. And it’s enough to power those things you have listed. Costs only about 6K.
Availability.
Very common. Shops all over River Road sell them.

Just curious… how safe is it to mix oil and petrol? I have a 5 KVA that consumes about 2 litres/hour? Won’t the oil damage the engine?

Perfectly safe. That’s how they are designed since they don’t have a separate oil intake.

@Agent47, get a tiger. 1KVA.

And an important note generators are sometimes notorious for producing under or over voltage so make sure your electronics are well guarded with proper voltage guards…
