AIVOLT 6000W Petrol Generator

This Generator works perfect very quite and works a 600 watt grinder perfect, and I use it every day, easy to start and good on fual. I think this Generator could work a 1000 watt plug in easy, I am very happy with this Generator, its a bargain...

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.

This is a brilliant bit of kit. It started easily and purred away powering my electric Grinder in an off grid location. Highly recommend.

Excellent product. I purchased the generator to power my house during outages, and it manages the task effortlessly. I was running the lights, heating, television , computer, fridge-freezer, etc. at the time the machine was putting out 800 watts on the ECO setting so plenty left in reserve. Quite light in weight and not to much noise. I have to agree with everything the seller says about the product.

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.

Fantastic, Nice and quiet......Use it to top up power on my Ecoflow power bank.

After following the instructions carefully about setting it up, there is no Green Light on it as expected so not sure if it is working properly. The generator is running but seems to be struggling at times and I'm wary therefore of setting it up until I am sure it is okay. This makes it so far and expensive piece of kit that has cost in oil and fuel without giving me any useful function.

Bought this in addition to my 3kw generator that I mainly use to charge my batteries through a 30 amp charger on my boat. I used this 1200w for the first time today, very impressed!, so much lighter and smaller, carrying it down to the pontoon was a doddle, and it won’t take up as much room on the boat when we go on long trips and need to top up the batteries when we stay over for a couple of nights. It is quieter than others I’ve heard, I could easily hold a conversation when stood near it. The generator Started 2nd pull out of the box and first pull every time since. Be sure to buy some oil because it isn’t supplied with the generator, it’s left dry for shipping purposes which makes sense. Well worth the money so far, considering a decent 200w solar panel is £200. I had a voucher for £50 so it was a better option for me. See how it stands the rest of time.
