Kipor IG1000 1000 Watt Inverter Generator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Mine mysteriously shuts off on me.. runs for about 15 mins, then just stops and won't restart unless it sits.. fiddled with the oil, the air-cleaner, cleaned the fuel-filter, gapped the spark plug.. it runs smoother for 15 mins now, but still shuts off! Had to buy another one, can't figure it out..
Also, it's not as quiet as the Honda of the same size.. it is significantly louder for the first hour or so..
Had it for one year and one months, used once per week, a total of probably 300 to 400 hours.. if you get lucky and get one without this mystery-problem, I would say it's an okay unit.

Output Power (W): 1050; DC Output: 12V-8.3A; Electric Circuit Breaker: Available; Phase Numbers: Single phase; Fuel Tank Capacity (L): 2.6; Rated Continuous Running Time (hr): 4.2 to 16; Noise Level [dB(A)/7m] (Zero Load): 54 ; Noise Level [dB(A)/7m] (Full Load): 59; EPA Certified Engine - 55cc OHC, single cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled, low emission; Sinemaster digital inverter generators are approximately 50% smaller and lighter than traditional generators because the alternator is directly connected to the engine, and the flywheel is therefore eliminated. The voltage is constantly adjusted to maintain at 120V by the computer inverter module. The light weight design makes them ideal for transportation.Sinemaster digital generators are equipped with the unique smart-throttle. It can automatically regulate the engine speed according to the load, so the fuel consumption of digital generator sets is 20%-40% lower than traditional sets, so the running time is therefore much longer as well. The noise level is further reduced at lower running speeds. Sinemaster digital inverter generators have a new two-tiered noise dampening system, so the noise emitted by these generators is 6-9 dB less than traditional generators. This translates to 4 to 8 times quieter than conventional generators. A 3 dB drop in noise level represents the half amount on the actual noise. This meets the new noise ordinances that some state and national parks have adopted. 2 years warranty, we have a repair center and stock most of the parts.

Honeywell HW6200 7,750 Watt 13 HP 389cc OHV Portable Gas Powered Home Generator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just had a power outage that lasted 4 days. Had to place everything from our refrigerator and deepfreeze in containers in the snow. Had no way to get water from our well. Did have propane gas for cooking and wood stove for heating. Had to melt snow on our gas stove for flushing toilets. NO MORE! Now I have a good generator (one with enough continous wattage and startup wattage to run my well pump (240 volts) by itself and also seperately run deepfreeze and refrigerator. I chose to use the generator for emergency only and had a heavy duty long extension cord connected to my well pump so I could unplug it and then run it out through the garage and plug it directly into the generator 240 volt plug. Water for me is a necessity for not only having water to drink and flush toilets but to have if there is a power outage and a fire starts in the home. Please note however that the generator has one of those new 4 hole twist lock plugs for the 240 volt. Also I bought heavy duty 12 guage extension cords to run out a window to plug in my refrigerator and deepfreeze. Also have enough generator power to charge other necessary item for my two sons such as battery operated stuff (now can charge their internal batteries on hand held games, cell phones, etc.)
Yesterday we just had another short power outage (2hours) and I tested the worth of the new generator. All went great. My 22 year old son could take a short shower, and we could flush toilets. The one thing I would note to anyone is to take proper care of the generator for storage and occasional use. I use fuel stablizer in the gasoline and plan to run the new generator for a short time monthly. Also I plan to completely change gasoline periodically by using the older generator gasoline in my lawn mower and placing new gasoline (with stablizer) in the generator. Also recommended for extended storage is to shut off the fuel line valve and run all the gasoline out of the carburetor. Best to always be prepared by making sure the generator is running properly with enough extra gasoline handy. This generator arrived in a few days, assembled easily, started first few pulls of the rope, runs fairly quiet, and the price cannot be beat with the free shipping offered by Amazon.

Xantrex 802-1500 XPower 1,500 Watt Portable Powerpack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed a powerful but sealed power-pack (sealed battery + converter) for poolside use, to power a large 110-volt karaoke machine for five hours a day. The Xatrex 1500 is the only power-pack I've found that meets this requirement.
It was a pleasant surprise to find that the wheels have rubber rather than (noisy) plastic treads.
The first 1500 stopped working with a bang after two hours. When I phoned the Xantrex company, the technician I soon was talking to quickly concluded that my 1500 had malfunctioned and recommended that I return it. I was pleased with this candor. The second 1500 has worked for about a month now.
Not obvious is that the 1500 has a small storage cabinet, in which I store an extension cord.
Both 1500s arrived undamaged. A disclaimer is that I bought my 1500s from costo-dot-comm, which is relevant because perhaps Costco uses different packaging for shipping.
The "large karaoke machine" is a MegaStar CM-K1100, and its average draw has been 30-something watts.
9/18/06 Update: Around July the charge time dropped to under four hours. When I called Xantrex, the technician told me that battery life is about 200 charges.
