Honda Clone: Quiet, Reliable and Good Value for Money,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kipor IG6000 6000 Watt Inverter Generator With Electric Start (Lawn & Patio)
Bought this for emergency use. It weighs about the same (240lbs) as the comparable 6000 watt Honda inverter but costs much less and provides the same quiet usable power. After mounting the small wheels, adding oil and gas (uses regular) and charging the battery (electric start only) it started right up. Unlike cheaper generators, it produces a pure sinewave at exactly 60Hz and powers even sensitive devices such as computers, audio-video electronics and even our forced-air furnace, which is very picky about clean power. The $700 Colman Powermate we had before would not power the forced-air furnace. The Powermate had a large muffler and was relatively quiet but the Kipor is much quieter, using an even bigger muffler and padded enclosure. In addition, the Powermate needed to run at 3600 RPM all the time to produce the needed 60Hz output. The Kipor, like the Honda, runs only as fast as needed to provide the electrical power demanded. One problem with the unit we received was that the neutral and hot outputs on the 120V sockets were reversed (240V socket was OK). Even with this reversal everything ran but the forced-air furnace (this is how we discovered the problem). It took about 20 minutes to take off the side cover, unscrew the wires to the sockets and screw them back correctly. Now it powers everything without a hiccup.

GET A HONDA!!!,
This review is from: Kipor IG6000 6000 Watt Inverter Generator With Electric Start (Lawn & Patio)
Bought the 6000IG to power my fifth wheel. When it was delivered the battery was dead and wouldnt take a charge... had to purchase a new one myself because kipor blammed the vender I bought it from, and the vender blammed kipor as it was kipor's product... I gave up and bought my own. Engine cranked when I put the knew battery in so not wanting to travel with a full tank of gasoline in my camper, off I went to go CAMPING. Once I got to the site and filled the tank, the engine fired right up, about a half hour later, the fuel shut off was dumping fuel inside the unit. I shut it down, packed it up and was without power the remainder of the week... WHAT A NIGHTMARE! Got back home tweeked a few things and everything thing seemed to be ok. The next time I needed the generator, I made sure it started before I left home, however, once again as soon as I got to my camp site, the generator would not start, another week without electric. ANOTHER NIGHTMARE!!! So now I am working with kipor to drop the nearly 300lb peice of junk off at a shop located over an hour away from home. In conclusion, I expected to have a unit comparable to the honda 6K generator, instead got one of China's finest peices of junk...

Kipor Work Horse - Good Customer Service,
By
This review is from: Kipor IG6000 6000 Watt Inverter Generator With Electric Start (Lawn & Patio)
I've owned my Kipor 6000 watt generator for over a year now and have used it extensively 5 times running over 100 hours each of the 5 uses. Its not perfect. It is hard to start even after running for hours. I'm sure its a carb setting, but I haven't taken it in to be serviced. I use it to power my 5th wheel RV (with 50 amp service and two 15k ac units) at the NASCAR races. In the summer months, it runs from the time we arrive, until we leave; with the exception of refueling.
Its a work horse. The only time we throw a generator breaker is when the wife forgets to turn an AC off prior to using the microwave. Let me talk about Kipor customer service. I've had two chances to contact Kipor customer service. Both times they were very helpful and supportive. All four original wheels had to be replaced the first 6 months or so. The generator was just too heavy for the original wheels and the bearings and tread separated from the wheel. Second time, the gas gauge stopped working and the lens fogged up to where the needle could not be seen. In both instances, they quickly shipped replacement parts. I like this generator.
