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.

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.

I have used this unit now for 5 hours now ( 4 at 90% full load to "break it in" and test for load capability) and find it lives up to my expectations. It WILL carry "steady state" rated load ( compensated for altitude) an does so with reserve. The unit is very easy to start. I also like features like the retractable portage handle. Over all the unit is very well laid out. There are a few drawbacks: The owners manual appears to be for an older design unit. The digital display is hard to see in daylight and impossible in the sun. It does appear to have accurate readings. Its not as quiet as I expected but still acceptable...machinery is machinery and without a lot of additional sound proofing will make noise. Like most of the newer inverter units, while it will handle a short reasonable overload, it will not carry an overload like a conventional rotating field constant speed generator....but it does work at lower "starting loads" . I have not put an oscilloscope on it yet so not sure how close to a pure sine wave the output is. It will not start my small DeWalt portable compressor and not sure if that is electronic or just not strong enough to carry the starting load even with "head pressure" at 0 PSI. Overall I am well pleased with the quality and the performance especially for the price I was able to pay for it. Frankly the price was the deciding factor to this initial purchase. I have not compared it to the "name brand guys" but feel its a good unit and would not be surprised if it did equal much more expensive units without paying for the name....Yes I would recommend it to others if they understood its limitations.( which I suspect other brands would have also) Jerry

Bought three for me, mom, & son (one each). First one fuel gauge didn't work. Second wouldn't choose a consistent RPM under light load. Didn't mess with the third after 100% error rate with first two. Returned all three and have purchased predator 3500. Cost twice as much, but a generator that doesn't work isn't going to be helpful when a hurricane rolls in.

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 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

Generator appeared well engineered and well made. Despite following all the start up, then troubleshooting steps, it would never start. Worse - the technical support - HORRIBLE!

So far so good. Used it in a week long camping trip at the beach in so cal. It was quiet and effective. Looking to buy a second one and pair them up for full coverage.

Generator started right up after adding oil and gas. Ran it for a few hours with a light load and it ran fine. It is very quiet! Seems like a great deal. Much cheaper than a Honda. Yes!

Bought two of these generators to prepare for Hurricane Ida. Thankfully we had them to keep our refrigerators going when we lost power for hours. Runs very quiet and starts on first pull every time.
