Irish 3-pin socket
The AC70 and the Pro Splash have Irish 3-pin sockets. Check the socket type on the others before you buy, as units sold from the EU can have European sockets that need a fused adapter. Run a generator outdoors only, and never connect one to your house wiring without a changeover switch fitted by a registered electrician. Which to choose: generator vs power station.
