Inverter Generator Technology
Where conventional generators produce a single square wave of AC power for every engine rotation, an inverter generator produces a clean sine wave just like that power from your home outlets with hundreds of overlapping AC sine waves per engine rotation that results in more electrical power produced from each rotation. The electronic processor in the inverter module "converts" three-phase, high-frequency AC power from the alternator into DC power, which is then changed by the inverter module to a clean and stable 120-volt, 60-hertz AC power signal. The technology programmed into the inverter allows it to control all functions of the generator for stable, consistent, clean power.
This clean sine wave power allows the generator to be used with any and all computer and electronic based appliances in today's homes, businesses, construction sites, and outdoor recreation. An added benefit is the ability of these generators to produce 120-volt, 60-hertz current at various engine speeds, thus saving fuel running at slower speeds and low load conditions but with the power for full speed and output when needed.

1st Customer Review : Excellent generator
I will be living off the grid in Arizona soon, so this generator will compliment my solar power system. I did a LOT of research before buying. As a portable inverter generator, this has the biggest engine and fuel tank in it's price and size range. For all the features this unit has, it looks like a bargain to me. A similar unit with a big name like Yamaha, Honda, or Robin-Subaru will cost at least twice as much.
Some pointers for set-up- the manual says it requires a liter of oil and is shipped empty. A quart is a bit less than a liter, so I put that in and it overflowed. First time try a few tablespoons less than a quart. It is shipped with a fully charged battery, but that needs to be plugged in (no tools required). To change the oil, one is supposed to attach a drain pipe to the oil filler opening and tilt the generator. The drain pipe supplied is very cheap plastic. I will be replacing that with a brass pipe nipple from the hardware store.

2nd Customer Review : Not reliable
I have had the generator now 2 years. My brother and I got it at the same time. Mine locked up on me when it had 6tenths of an hr on it. I called the warranty department and it was replaced with a USED one with 20 hrs on it. Not to big of a deal but I thought I should have gotten a new one. So I went to the spring race in Bristol 2011. I have a 13.5btu AC unit on my camper found out it would pop the breaker every time it kicked on. So for the fall race 2011 I put a heavy duty capacitor on the AC unit that fixed that problem. So at the fall race after the first tank of fuel the generator would not start.good thing I had nice people staying next to us the let us hook up to them. Took it in to have it fixed it took Tom Raper RV 2 months to fix it. Went camping and it worked fine. That brings me to today. We had a big wind storm yesterday and we lost power. The generator was very hard to start like at the race. I was able to get it started but not very reliable. My brothers has leaked...
3rd Customer Review : Mj Texas
Very nice unit with a lot of features that the more expensive units don't have. I am very happy with its power and super nice remote control. I would definitely recommend it to my friends. Downside is that it is pretty heavy and wheels are small. I plan to buy and replace the wheels. That is why I gave it a four instead of five stars.
