So far, so good!! Runs great, quiet, starts easily, provides great output and is easy to move around. As an ASE Master Mechanic I knew that the “Break In” procedure would determine just how long this thing will last. I took my time and to do a 3 hour Break In which included 3 Oil Changes. I’m a firm believer in synthetic oils, I refuse to use anything else however I did use the bottle of included oil for the very first start-up. I ran it 15 minutes without a load , slow idle , then drained the oil. The amount of Metal Shavings from machining the engine block was excessive. I knew that it would be this way, many Chinese made engines exhibit this. Filled it up with Synthetic for the 2nd break in run....1 hour with a light load applied (900 watts) during the last 30 minutes of the run. Drained oil , still some shavings(aluminum dust) in the bottom of my black oil catch pan. Refilled again with synthetic and ran it for 1 hour under a 1500 watt load. It worked flawlessly. After the 1 hour run, I drained it again, refilled it (just a Trace of aluminum dust in the drain pan) and now it’s good to go for extended use. Do this Break In procedure , use a quality synthetic oil, and this unit will serve you well.

I purchased this recently and the pricing was very good compared to many others in the same range of peak power. I originally had a higher peak power unit but decided to return that and purchase two of the A-IPower SUA2300i's for several reasons. The flexibility of having the power of two of these when connected together is excellent. This gives me the flexibility to just use one if needed for lower power needs. The noise level of these are very good at 52dBA. In the low power mode, it is almost whisper quiet. It does get louder under load but that is expected. The control panel has many features that others don't have. There are LED level meters for the fuel level and power load that is demanded. Starting is extremely reliable and takes only one pull. Access to the fuel and oil changes are very convenient. The retractable handle gives the user really good leverage to lift and move the inverter/gen using the rear wheels. Included with the generator is the cable used to gang two of them together. It's great not to have to pay for that accessory. Another reason the noise level is important is that during a power outage, it's best that the neighbors or anyone else do not know you are running one. Pricing of these were alse very good because I could have easily paid hundreds more through another store.

I have always wanted a small Honda but didn't want to spend so many $$$. This little generator is loaded with features i have never seen. It always starts on 1st or 2nd pull. I'm thinking about buying another one for a backup or to hook up parallel for more wattage if needed.

I selected this brand of generator based on its features. I agree with Consumer's Report that a fuel gauge is important. The fuel gauge on this unit is very helpful. The digital display of output voltage is nice. I like the pull-out handle and the wheels for easier movement. So far, the unit has started easily. The labels are clear and useful. The only concern I have, so far, is the "missing" of the engine when running at slow speeds. When the load demand increases to high I don't notice much misfiring. I still hold in reserve my judgement about the longevity and durability but my limited use of the generator leaves me satisfied to this point.

I haven't had the chance to do a full evaluation of the unit yet as the front display panel is inoperable right out of the box (reason for 3 stars). On the plus side, customer service seems to be good and they offered to send a new panel to me or have me return the unit so they could do it. It started on the second pull and I tested it with my refrigerator (which is the main concern I had during a power outage), and it performed fine. I also believe the "Ultra-Quiet" description is a bit of a stretch. It's as loud as a lawn mower. Personally that doesn't fall under "Ultra Quiet" in my opinion. Nice retractable handle to pull it along. Good price overall and the an Inverter Generator is a must have if you are powering sensitive household items due to it's clean power.

When I bought this I thought I had done my homework first, but I was wrong. This unit is as light and as quiet as it is advertised to be, but it didn't even have enough power to keep my 950 watt camper microwave running for 2 minutes even with nothing else drawing power. I took it back to Sam's with no problems. I have since bought a higher KW generator that although it is a bit louder and heavier, it does the job. I would recommend it to those needing light wattage and low amp use, but not to power a camper with anything more than lights and keeping batteries charged.

More HA then it's worth. Keep shutting off after a few minutes. Can't figure out why. Hard to start. It remind me of my $100 HF genie I got a few years back, and gave it away. SAm club give me a hard time exchanging it. Ended up returned for refund. Still waiting for my $. Is am staying with my HONDA. It NEVER give me a hitch. Start in 2 pulls every time. Never failed me once. It's true you get what you paid for.

I bought this had a hard time getting it started finally got it going ran about a total of an hour no problems . needed it the next sat still had problems starting then would run 5 to 10 min and would stall out. Started leaking oil everywhere. Had a hassle when i took it back. Wont buy something like this from sams. Again

Be careful what you need this Generator for. It is NOT the same as another major brands 2000W. In fact it is clearly weaker. For an emergency to keep a couple lights on or a freezer it will be sufficient, and is nice and quiet. However, I believe the working amps to be false when compared to a more expensive competitor. Reached out to manufacturer and also received no response. Disappointed.

It looked good and had all the best features and at the sale price was 1/4 the price of the Honda. When it arrived there was no damage to the box but when I opened it the cover was loose and the plastic piece under the oil filler was broken. It looked like it didn't fit properly and must have happened at the factory . Also the muffler exhaust did not line up with the hole in the rear guard. I decided I could live with that so I put in non-ethanol gas but I could never get it to start. Even tried starting fluid but no luck. Checked everything in the manual and called the number in the instructions. Technical support did call me back 5 days later after I had returned it. I think that it would have been a great unit if it had worked. I have 2 other generators but wanted a small one for the camper. I wasted several hours on this thing. The good part of the story is that Sams took it back at the store with no hassle (the nearest store is 100 miles from my home).
