Why Hire a 2.2kVA Generator in Brisbane?
The Honda EU22i is the generator you hire when noise matters. At just 52dB — about the same volume as a quiet conversation — it can run within metres of your guests without disrupting speeches or music. At $95 per event, it powers up to 6-8 festoon runs, a small PA system, and a phone charging station.
The 2.2kVA is our most popular generator for backyard parties and small marquee events where mains power is not accessible. It runs for approximately 8 hours on a full tank, so it will easily last an evening event without refuelling. For larger power needs, step up to the 3.2kVA Honda EU32i ($140).
Frequently Asked Questions
How loud is a 2.2kVA generator? +
About 52dB at rated load — equivalent to a quiet conversation or a running refrigerator. You can position it 10-15m from guests and it will be barely noticeable.
What can a 2.2kVA generator power? +
6-8 festoon lighting runs, a small DJ setup (laptop + powered speaker), phone charging station, and a few LED wash lights. Not enough for commercial catering equipment — step up to the 10kVA for that.
How long does it run on a tank of fuel? +
Approximately 8 hours at rated load on a full tank of petrol. More than enough for a standard evening event (6pm-midnight).
