Elemax Generator Prices in Nigeria (April 2024)

No list of the best brands of generators in Nigeria would be complete without a mention of Elemax. The Japanese company has over time built a range of top-quality generators that come with various innovative features.

From portable petrol generators to standard-size petrol generators and heavy-duty diesel generators, there’s a suitable Elemax product for every Nigerian home or company that is looking for a reliable alternative source of energy. Elemax also has a series of specialized power generators to their credit. These include the inverter diesel generators and the gasoline welder generators.


Because Nigeria is one of the countries with the biggest power challenges in the world, it’s no surprise that the Nigerian market abounds with various brands of power generators — good-quality, bad-quality, original, and substandard. But the truth is, top-quality products always have their way of leading any market. And that explains why Elemax is one of the most trusted brands of generators in Nigeria.

Elemax Generators in Nigeria: How to Spot Original or Fake

To start with, bear in mind that original Elemax generators are made in Japan. It’s clearly stated on the manufacturer’s website that all the brand’s products are made in Japan and that the company has no overseas factories that assemble their products for them. What this means is that if you find any Elemax generator that is not made in Japan, then you just spotted a fake!

Another easy way to spot a fake Elemax generator is that the name or brand number on it is not written exactly in the same way as it’s written on the genuine equivalent. So, the name “Elemax” might be changed to “Elemaxx” or “Elamax”. Similarly, the model number might be changed from something like “SV3300S” to something like “SV3300D”. So, please beware!

Also, note that the name of the manufacturer of Elemax generators is “Sawafuji Electric Co.”, and their products use the same engine and some other components as Honda generators. So, you’re likely to see “Sawafuji” and “Honda” written somewhere on the body of an original Elemax generator.
