Over the years, i have found out that some of these generator brands don’t live up to the hype and expectations as their models tend to fall apart over the long term of use. Also, some brands tend to consume more fuel, which could cost you a lot more in the long run.

WHERE TO BUY GENERATORS IN NIGERIA

A Generator can be purchased from anywhere in the country, You have to be extra careful to prevent buying counterfeit or fake models of generators often sold in some market places. You can purchase a generator made by a particular brand by simply visiting any of their offices in Nigeria. However, some brands don’t have an office here in Nigeria and this means you have to buy from generator distributors and retailers instead. New generators can be purchased from e-commerce sites also sites like Jumia and Konga, meanwhile, you will  have to be careful when buying from these sites. Always take note of the return policy in case of a faulty or wrong model and take note of the warranty.

I will not recommend anyone to purchase a used generator that is just being penny wise pound foolish. purchasing of used generators is just like pouring water into a basket. of course we do know that a basket cant hold water in any way, so does a used generator can’t last you for more than 2 months and “boom” you start spending on repairs till you spend almost an equivalent of what it takes to purchase a quality Generator set.
