You can buy the generator on amazon here! amzn.to/3hd7oHy - Edit: The price has gone up since this video but its still a great deal to me. 6 months later the generator is still going strong!
@@randybobandy9828 sorry you see it that way. You get what you pay for when it comes to the small inverter generators. You go cheap, you're going to get cheap.
You need to put the generator wave form up on a scope because cheap inverter switches often make spikes and dips that the filters don't take out... These generators can ruin sensitive electronics that are now included in todays appliances like "Smart Appliances" with processors!!!
I have a generator repair business. Remember, you get what you pay for. These are disposable generators and you may get lucky and get one that will work in excess of 100 hours. Typically, on these cheap inverters is that the inverter board blows. Replacement boards are too cost prohibitive.
100hours? That's utter nonsense. I bet you say the same thing about predator generators too...even though they last thousands of hours and are a quarter the price of a honda.
If you have time to find the manufacturer on aliexpress you can get replacement inverters.. 1300W inverter board new 230V AC 50Hz Euro edition from yangke set me back like 90€ years ago when I blew it with 900w stuck pump that pulled lots of amps.. My trash generator is still working and I like it, 1kW sinewave for 189€ 10/2018 on eBay in Germany two stroke stinky but works
liked, subscribed, commenting for the algorythym. Solid, no-nonsense review. i am transitioning to full time rv life, so true reviews are important. best wishes
I got the HIKE CREW HCIG2250 from Overstock for $339 which is the same exact unit but with a digital display / gas gauge. Got it as a more portable secondary unit to run lighter stuff while my 4000W should handle the bigger items. Debating if I should cancel the order and just get something better though as 1600W doesn't seem to be a lot.
Why include the flathead screwdriver? Well, when you have 52 Inventory Items in the lineup, and they all get a tool kit, then... We should keep 52 different toolkits in stock? Or just cover all bets with only one more Line Item? This is why you have spare parts left over when rebuilding a carburetor. Different versions all covered by one kit.
No it doesn't. Eco mode simply drops idle while using less than half power. It will run at full power on eco but you don't want to drop roms from full load to low load so it's best to tun eco off when using more than 1200
@@robertkubrick3738 that's because you're talking about something different. The wattage will be the same but since the idle is low in eco mode the generator doesn't have enough instantaneous power to run the compressor. It's like your driving a manual car. Try launching a car while your foot is completely off the gas and drop the clutch and floor it, you will feel your car bog down before it starts to get going. Then try reving your motor to 2000rpm and then release the clutch and floor it, your car will spin the tires and launch the car without bogging down. Basically you have to slowly add the wattage load on eco mode and it will rev up to a higher rpm to match the wattage but it will be no different than eco mode off when it comes to total load capacity.
@@robertkubrick3738 no lol .. the original poster said eco mode reduces the wattage output.. that is not the case and that's what my original comment says... You replied to me about that comment
Wow! Awesome video. Thank you so much for your review! We are SO glad that you enjoyed our Generator. Great & honest feedback is very much appreciated!
People saying eco mode made a difference, but I don't think it would. All it does is ramp up engine speed under load. Balls out in eco mode should have same rpm as regular mode
In my experience so far that definitely seems to be the case, same power output regardless of eco mode on or off. I have noticed that it does make a difference for things like an RV air conditioner that have a huge upfront draw. WIth ecomode on it will usually stall at the sudden demand for power
