8.8kW Inverter Generator

This is real power. The specifications confirm a power factor of 1 at 230 V, meaning 8.2 kW is genuine useful power — not a kVA figure calculated with a 0.8 factor, as some competitors quote.

Yes. It has an ATS input for automatic backup start, as well as an external dry contact terminal that starts and stops the unit when the dry contacts close and open.

The confirmed guaranteed sound power level is LWA 97 dB in accordance with Directive 2000/14/EC. No sound pressure at distance figure is published for this model.

The manual does not publish runtime figures. It has a 27 L tank — the largest in the true inverter class — and the manual limits continuous load to 80% of rated power and emergency use to 4–6 hours.

Petrol only.

Net weight — 96 kg. It is designed as a mobile stationary unit with wheels and a carry handle — not a lightweight portable camping generator.

Yes, it supports parallel operation via the DeWALT Parallel Unit, with a 0.2 kW power loss when connected.

Two Schuko 230 V / 16 A outlets and one CEE 230 V / 32 A outlet (which delivers approximately 7.4 kW independently — enough for a sub-panel, ATS or site/caravan connection), plus DC 12 V / 9 A and USB-A QC3.0 + Type-C.
