Good

I purchased my unit a few years prior, so there are a few exterior differences to the current model. Has sat in storage as a standby gen-set and only made occasional run ups......until the recent severe storms that knocked out power all weekend in my area. This unit saved my bacon, literally- keeping the fridge & deep freeze going until the grid was restored. When first bought, I was rather impressed by how all of the extras were included with the unit, as opposed to the competing brands that would gladly sell you those things as 'optional'. Great features and value for the price. May be a very small bit more noisy then the big name competition generators of the same class, but for the price this is a equitable trade off. All around a solid investment.

Excellent Portable Generator and Customer Service

I bought an earlier version of this generator about 4 years ago. Now with 870 hours of flawless performance, I did notice the last couple camp outings something wasn't right. It wouldn't allow me to run my camper 5k BTU AC unit on High, but only on Low. It would cause an Overload fault. As I mentioned, it had been flawless without fail up to this summer. I did a bit of experimenting by process of elimination. I plugged my camper AC into the house current, and it ran without fail eliminating the problem with the AC. I also had a camp buddy bring his portable inverter generator over to test run the camper AC and it too was without fail, but as I plugged the AC again into my generator it would go into Overload and fault. That said, I contacted the manufacturer and ordered a replacement Inverter Module (Approx $110 shipped). By the way, this company has GREAT customer service support! The replacement was painlessly simple! The 6 Phillips screws on the front cover, 2 tiny Phillips screws on the tow handle, and 2 10mm nuts on the module. The 4 connecting wire harnesses are designed so not to confuse what plugs into where. It took me all of 20 minutes for the whole disassembly/reassembly process. When assembled and tested my camper AC on the generator, it runs like new and no more overload faults. I might add that the new invertor module has some upgraded components to it. This is a GREAT portable generator and would highly recommend it.

Awesome little generator.

Great Little Generator. I was able to power my fridge and my laptop with 2 monitors and lights. Very efficient 0.9Gal in 9 hours with all my load about 400-600W. We had no power for 7 days after Milton.I used about 2 gallons a day 18 hours runtime with 6 hours off at night. Spend 14gal of gas from one of my cars.

Sloppy assembly

Thought maybe I got a lemon. When I opened the box & removed a few cover to look it over & add oil I found the spark plug was broken. Also a gasket on the panel around the exhaust was installed wrong. But so far so good after replacing plug & fixing gasket. Only have about an hour on it, but seems to be good. I was surprised it ran a 10000 btu portable a/c unit. No problem.

Well Engineered

This is a nice little generator, set-up and operation was very intuitive. I started it up, everything functioned, it was fairly quiet. Access to the engine is through a removable side panel, the carburetor bowl has a drain screw, hose, and drain pan to remove excess fuel for long-term storage. Also has a telescoping handle and wheels to move it around, it’s about the size of a carry-on suitcase. Nicely designed unit.

Hi Jimmy,<br /><br />Thank you for such a detailed review — we really appreciate it. It’s great to hear that setup and operation were intuitive and that the 2300-watt inverter has been running smoothly and quietly for you. The side panel access, carburetor drain setup, and portability features are exactly what we designed this unit for, so it’s great to hear they’ve been useful in real-world use.<br /><br />Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience!<br /><br />~A-iPower Customer Support Team

Disappointed

I bought thhis generator because texas is texas. I got it home after spending a good amount. Ot looked great and like it would be a good purchase for me. When i got it home and opened the box it was not an easy deal. I called the manufacturer and was told it is confusing so he attempted to talk me through unscrewing all panels and handle then he told me to.hold on because he was a little lost. I told him you knownwhat indont want tonsteip any screws or damage it and i dont want to take all panels off of the generator and i would just return it
