Best Ryobi Inverter - We have looked at the older model Ryobi Inverter Generators in the past with decent reviews of them. When unboxing the new GENControl Inverter Generator it was apparent that Ryobi was out to fix some small issues they had with other models. While the GENControl on the front of the inverter is awesome, they did not stop there. There is no longer a need to have a Philips screwdriver to check the oil. There is a nice thumbscrew that allows access. The 120v outlet has been slightly upgraded with a more stable outlet. The rear tires are a bit larger if you roll this behind you much. The larger item is how quiet this unit is compared to the older models. Not that they were loud, but this unit is Honda Inverter Generator quiet. That is a big deal for people using these tailgating, camping or on the jobsite.
Ryobi included Bluetooth in the 2,300-Watt Inverter Generator so one can monitor the fuel level, time until empty and power stats remotely. There are also some maintenance items in there, but we see this being useful to campers the most. From inside the camper, one can turn on different items and see how the inverter generator is handling the load along with checking fuel levels. For many other uses on would simply just look at the front of the inverter generator for the information.
RYI2300BTA Features
2,300 starting watts, 1,800 running watts
On-board LCD displays fuel level, runtime remaining and load level
Ryobi GenControl app allows monitoring of power consumption, fuel level and runtime remaining
On-board overload reset button and remote reset capable using free GENControl app
Parallel kit available to connect 2 for twice the power
Two 120-Volt outlets and 2 USB Ports
Auto-idle & RPM control
57 dBA at idle - 68 dBA at full load
3-year limited warranty
Knowing is Half the Battle
With GENControl, the user is able to monitor the load on the 2,300 starting watts and 1,800 running watts. The information and low noise level of this inverter generator has it ranking pretty high in our list of the best inverter generators on the market. We have a lot of stories of people trying to push these small units a bit too far and overloading them over and over. When they overload, they cut power to everything and have to be reset. It is an inconvenience that does not need to happen when you have access to the information this unit provides.
Like almost all inverter generators, the Ryobi unit will idle-down and vary the RPM based on the load. This keeps the unit as quiet as possible while keeping the voltage consistent so it can be used for sensitive items. If more power is needed, Ryobi offers a parallel capable, so you can link two Ryobi inverter generators together for twice the power.
Ryobi backs this inverter generator with a 3 year warranty. That will most likely not cover any issues with the carburetor, so be sure to add a fuel stabilizer to each and every tank. These small engines have tiny jets in the carburetor and they can plug very easily with today's E5 to E15 ethanol fuels.
Specifications
Running Watts: 1800
Starting Watts: 2300
Fuel Tank Capacity: 1.2 Gallons
Run Time at 25% Load: 10.3 Hours
Outlets: (2) 120V AC 20 Amp and (2) 5V DC 2.1 Amp USB
Weight: 53 lbs
Warranty: 3-Year Limited

Good review, I purchased two of these and could not be happier with my decision. I have a 1996 Fleetwood Bounder motorhome and if I need to run the dual air-conditioners or the microwave then i run them in parallel and they do a fantastic job. If I just want/need to power the refrigerator or run and charge the coach batteries I only use one of them and it does a great job. I have had many campers oooh and ahhhh over the quietness of the units, they are quiet enough to operate in any of the national parks or state parks as well. You can sit 6 feet away from them and have a normal conversation with ease. If you are considering purchasing a generator that performs well, I highly recommend this unit. That is my 2-cents worth on the subject

I've had mine for almost 3 months. 840+ hours already. I have literally run this little generator for as much as 4 days continuous. No problems at all. Easy to maintain. Since I'm a full time RV'r I can't afford the space for a typical oil siphon pump. I just use one of those cheap gear oil pumps from HF. Air filter is easy to service. I know what I'm talking about. My former employer was a remote location shooting range. We had 12 of the Honda 2000i that we rotated weekly between the office/store and the 3 on site work campers. Those Hondas averaged 70 hours/week and got weekly oil changes. I'm now running 100 hrs/week on 1/2 quart of oil instead of almost (~.91) full quart on Hondas. I have literally put this generator under my dinette window with window open ( right conditions, breezes ect.) and sat there and watched the television. It is my opinion that these Ryobi generators are superior to the Hondas and certainly higher quality than similar units at Harbor Freight. I took off the dolly handle and the knob for the cover. I want to find a pull ring to replace it with.

The app works good, but if you want to run an rv ac, or blow dryer or iron, you must turn off all other loads. (This includes your rv battery charger) Running the rv ac, you must turn the fan on first, then turn the temperature dial to start the compressor after the fan is running, as it will load the generator to the maximum output.

Just bought one. A bit juicy but everything else is great. Running a 5000BTU AC unit plus a small fridge is pushing it so the eco mode can't be used. However running on full idle it can handle that load no problem. However that causes it to use more fuel of course. This is the problem. If you are in 95 degree heat and need it to run all night then you are out of luck. It will run about 6 hours on one fill up. The ONLY guy selling extended run kits or aluminium billet caps same as the Honda ones has the market to himself right now. He is on ebay and EXPENSIVE. Look for MRI_Denver. I shall buy a cap at $35 !!! If you can wait hang on for China to catch up. They'll be $10 same as a Honda in a year.

Mine just surges and won't run right despite using different types of gasoline. Had to remove it and use my Honda. The Honda did the same thing when new, but ran correctly after being service for carburetor cleaning. Having to get the unit serviced when brand new is so annoying, especially since there are no local warranty service centers, and shipping for warranty work is not practical due to cost. Very dissatisfied.

Interesting to see so many positive reviews here, but complaints in other forums. It works *wonderfully* until it doesn't, which might explain that difference. Given ours is about a year old and has a fault somewhere between the alternator and control module; if we disconnect the alternator, it'll start. Opening it up, I'm a little disappointed with the build quality so far. Now we're checking windings, rectifiers, and control board and hoping we can do a component-level repair, but will replace a module if we have to. I doubt it's the windings, FWIW.

@WorkshopAddict
@WorkshopAddict 6 лет назад
Check the oil to make sure it is full. Start it without anything connected with auto idle on. Let it idle for 90 seconds and turn off the auto idle and let it go to full throttle for 5 minutes. Plug in something small like a large light or fan and let it run for 10 more minutes. From there, let it idle with nothing connected to 90 seconds and turn off. Let it cool completely and repeat. Change oil to a good synthetic. I recommend Valvoline VR1 10W30 synthetic as it has a high ZDDP level. Run it as you want from there.

Are you removing the plate underneath the oil port? Two screws on the side. Then just put it on the edge of a table with a plastic container underneath and drain it. Easy peasy. If you don't have a work table to change the oil, try this: Go to autozone and buy an extractor. $14.99. It's a hand pump with two tubes one end goes into the dipstick hole, the other into an old milk jug. Pump about 20 times, bone dry. Can't get cleaner than that.

An upgrade to your frustration meter but not an upgrade for the generator. My fuel level is stuck on 3/4 tank and refuses to budge. Ran it dry and the stupid meter thinks it has 6 hours left. Save your money and buy one without the meter - otherwise it's has a good engine and it gives power as needed.
