Generators buying guide

Q1: I want to choose a generator for camping. Which FIRMAN model suits me better?


A: For camping, the top priority is quiet operation. The required wattage will depend on the appliances you plan to use. We highly recommend the canopy‑style inverter generators. Depending on your power needs, you can choose from the SPS series (e.g., SPS1000i, SPS2000i, SPS3000i(E)). These models are silent, fuel‑efficient, and lightweight – ideal for camping. If you need more power, the FIG5880 is also an excellent choice; it runs very quietly when the ECO mode is turned on.


Q2: I want to choose a generator as a home backup power source. Which FIRMAN model should I choose?


A: All FIRMAN petrol generators are suitable for home use, but the best choice depends on your frequency of use and usage intensity.


If your generator is not used daily and only occasionally: noise level is a key concern, as you may not be accustomed to generator noise. We recommend the FIG5880, which operates quietly in ECO mode yet delivers strong power in emergencies.


If you have many appliances and require high output: the SPS series is your best option. Models like SPS12000SE, SPS13000SE, and SPS15000SE ensure reliable power for a comfortable home life. The SPS15000SE is specially designed for silent experience, big power demands and easier maintenance.


If power outages are frequent and prolonged, and you use the generator every day: you can choose according to your budget.


For an economical option, the SPG series (SPG2200, SPG2900, SPG3000(E2), SPG4000(E2), SPG8000E2, SPG8800E2, SPG10800E2) is a classic choice, well‑tested and popular in African markets. If you need electric start and easier mobility, select the models with the E2 suffix.


For a more premium experience, our ECO series features stylish design and enhanced quality. Popular models include ECO3990ES, ECO4990ES, ECO5990ES, ECO7990ES, ECO8990ES, ECO10990ES, and ECO12990ES. Please note that some models support remote start – those with an “R” at the end of the model name (meaning Remote).


You may also consider the RD series (whose design is more popular in European markets) or the FPG series to meet your needs.


For power demands exceeding 10 kW: you can choose from SPS15000SE, FPG15000SE, FPG18000TSE, or alternatively our diesel generator models if you prefer.


Q3: I want to choose a generator for use at a worksite. Which FIRMAN model should I choose?


A: The most critical factor for worksite use is reliability. All our open‑frame generators are robust and dependable – you can select any model that meets your power requirements. Among them, we highly recommend the FPG series because it comes with an extra socket, giving you more flexibility for connecting multiple tools simultaneously. Available models include FPG3800E2, FPG4800E2, FPG7800E2, and FPG8800E2(R).
