Quieter then I thought it would be.

It's a lot quieter then I thought from watching videos on Youtube. I just ran it for a few minutes just to break it in and make sure it did run. Didn't want to wait till the power went off to find out it wouldn't run. I love it so far and can't wait for another power outage LOL. So far so good.

Hi Howard, thank you for the great review! We’re glad to hear your A-iPower inverter generator is quieter than expected and started right up during your test run. Testing your generator before you actually need it is always a great idea, and we hope it provides dependable backup power whenever the next outage comes your way! ~A-iPower Customer Support Team

Great deal!

I bought this generator on sale, which was a really great deal at $260. Once recieved, setup was a breeze and it started on the first pull after letting the gas sit in tank for a few minutes with it on the run posiition. I've been sticking with the factory reccomendation to only use it at 50% load and changing the load until its at 5 hours of run time. So far its been running great without any issues.

Easy to start, runs relatively quiet

So far so good. Add oil and gas, pull the cord and it starts. The pull cord is easy and it starts before I even finish pulling the cord. I have not tested it under a real load yet, but I was able to charge a phone easily. I am satisfied so far with this purchase.

Great item with unbeatable price

I just have to say that even though it's not quiet, quiet, the sound it makes is not an issue unless you're sitting right next to it, but inside the house you easily forget about it. you can turn on the lights, the fans, charge your devices, plug in your refrigerator and even use some electrical appliances, always making sure you don't exceed the wattage.

Hi Kenny, Thanks for the great review! We’re glad to hear your 2300-watt inverter has been such a reliable backup and that the noise level hasn’t been an issue for you. It’s amazing how much you can power with it as long as you stay within the wattage — and it sounds like you’re using it exactly the right way.

Better use non-ethenol if stored most of year

I suppose this is a good generator, BUT, a word of caution...I purchased this generator one year ago for just in case I needed power from tornado or winter storm damage. Started it when unboxed and again six months later. Winter storm arrives, so I prep it and it won't start. Carburetor problems. I am told by people who know that it is caused by ethenol gas deposits and worsened because I let it sit without cranking regularly. If you purpose, I recommend using non-ethenol gas if your state allows its sale.

Hi John, Thank you for sharing your experience and the recommendation. Fuel quality and storage practices can play a big role in small engine performance, especially for generators that are used intermittently. Using fresh fuel, exercising the unit periodically, and considering non-ethanol fuel or a quality fuel stabilizer are all good practices for long-term storage. We appreciate you taking the time to share this insight with other customers. ~A-iPower Customer Support Team

Quick return after 3 hours of operation

Three hours into break in period it quit producing electricity. I was able to contact A-i customer service who gave me the option of taking it 60 miles for repair. (I pay and they would reimburse), or returning to Sam's (65 mile drive) and get my money back. I did the return option.

Losing power output that early in use isn’t typical, and we understand how disappointing that must have felt—especially during the break-in period. We’re glad you were able to get things resolved, and we genuinely appreciate you reaching out to our team for assistance. If you ever have questions about our generators or need help with another unit in the future, we’re always here to support you. ~A-iPower Customer Support Team

Love this Generator!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I recently ordered an A-iPower 2300 watt, portable kit/CO sensored generator. My husband and I were so excited to receive this product. Upon opening the generator we noticed that it comes with a tool kit, engine oil, an oil funnel, an RV adapter and a quick reference guide. After reading through the manual, we immediately tried it out and we were both able to get it started without any difficulty. It runs fairly quiet, too! We love that it has a built in CO sensor which can literally be a life saver! This unit is multi-functional and can be used for home, camping, etc. It's built in wheels make it super easy to transport without having to carry it everywhere. We love the small, compact and lightweight feature of this generator. We look forward to using this generator to meet our needs in the future and would definitely recommend it to others, as well.
