Hendrik Strydom, Paarl – Western Cape –
I dragged my feet for months before getting a generator, mainly because I didn’t want to waste money on the wrong setup. Ended up going with the 38 kVA Cummins and, looking back, I should’ve done it sooner. It just does what it’s supposed to no fuss. We’ve had a few long outages recently and it carried everything without me babysitting it. The guys I bought from were straight with me, no confusing jargon. That alone made a difference.

We use the 38kVA at our guesthouse, and it’s been a quiet lifesaver. Guests don’t even realize when the power goes out anymore, which says a lot. I was worried about noise and fuel usage, but it’s actually been manageable on both. Also, small thing, but the supplier actually answered their phone when I called after hours that stuck with me. I’ve already recommended them to two other lodge owners.

We needed something reliable for our family business and decided on the 38kVA genset after a bit of back and forth. I’ll admit, I wasn’t fully convinced at first. But it’s been handling our equipment without any strain, even during longer cuts. What I liked most is that it feels dependable you don’t have to second guess if it’s going to start or not. The supplier also followed up after installation, which felt genuine. I’d definitely send people their way.

I’m usually skeptical of big purchases like this, especially with all the promises people make. But the 38kVA Cummins gen has been solid from day one. I run a small manufacturing setup and downtime isn’t an option. Since installing it, things have been consistent no surprises, which is exactly what I needed. The team I bought from didn’t try to upsell me either. Just gave practical advice and delivered what they said they would.
