AIVOLT 1200W Petrol Inverter Generator, Silent Portable for Camping, Home

A great generator very reliable I use it for my campervan always starts first time good value for money

Received the day after ordering , I gave it a very short test run , it's really quiet . I need to give it a better try out in the next few days but so far so good , very sensitive ( which is obviously a really good thing ) to engine oil levels , I initially put the 0.35 litre of 10w30 oil in , turned it over a couple of time by the pullstring , just to ensure that oil was circulating . popped a litre of fuel in and it went 1st pull . extremely quiet for the price , I will try it again in the next week with th emax load and report back but hopefully it will do the job

Got to say what a quiet generator, put oil in and fuel started first pull. I’m very impressed with this product, runs off grid fridge, lights, charges batteries, phones and iPads no problem, tank of fuel lasts about 8 hrs running the above all at the same time.

Absolutely fantastic, this is the second one of these I have. Used mainly as a backup for campervan when there no electic hookup, charging my ebike battery and power station. Runs perfectly, do reccomend running in correctly to ensure longevity (which isnt specific just to this generator), also avoid leaving fuel in the carb for extended periods as most faults on these things is a result of the carb gumming up. Summary, great deal and compares well with some much more expensive generators.

The generator was supplied promptly between Christmas and New Year but whilst it started easily it kept cutting out after a few seconds. Once they were back after the break the customer support team quickly identified a faulty carburettor and sent me a new one with links to assembly videos on Youtube. The new carb was quite straightforward to fit for anyone with mechanical experience but the videos were a little short on detail and safety advice. The generator is now working as advertised for topping up the batteries in my motor home and available to run a small microwave when we have another power cut. Overall I am happy with the product and the response to my problem but it was frustrating to be without it for two weeks when quality control in the factory should have identified the distorted carburettor mounting. Hence 4 stars overall.

I added oil, fuel, it started but when i move the choke to run position it conks out. Tried again but miving more slowly. In start position i only get red light. As soon as i mive choke, it conks. Must be a faukt. Amazon have refunded me so i guess i will re-order and hopenfor the best???

This is my first foray into inverter generators, having always used plain 240v machines. Took it whilst using a friends boat last week, just in case, as my wife likes to use the microwave a fair bit and we would be without any EHU. Turned out the boat batteries were shot which left us stranded after our first night out. I knew the generator has a battery charge function so started to use that, turns out this was very slow for this size battery so realising I had the EHU adapter I connected the generator to the EHU plug, fired it up and the boats 50a charger did the rest. 5 minutes later the boats started up and we were on our way. On ‘low idle’ the generator is quiet but when using a lot of power, there is very little difference between the noise on this model and any other one. It does score highly for weight, this was the 1200a model and it is quite small, enough to just tuck away. We ran it overall for maybe 3 hours in total and it had used only a small amount of fuel. It starts easy, I always stop it by turning off the fuel and letting it drain the carburettor fully. I did make the mistake once of forgetting to let it stabilise before plugging in for mains, the result was that no power was forthcoming. I suspected a defect but re-reading the instructions brought home the need for letting it run for two minutes before requesting power. For the price, it’s a great, easy to start and versatile machine. The included accessories are very useful too.

It is far from silent. Its not the loudeat ever but shoukd not be classified and silent yiu need it to be 20metres away from a caravan for it to be even bearable. It runs a 1200w air fryer but drawing thay much lower the fuel burns quickly. But easy to set up and use
