2,300-Watt Recoil Start Bluetooth Super Quiet Gasoline Powered Digital Inverter Generator with CO Shutdown Sensor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this today when a tree took out my power line. It was easy to set up and get started. Bluetooth app is great when I'm inside and I can see how many watts each appliance is using.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased this inverter generator so that I have access to power in the event of grid failure or for outdoor projects that require mobility. I am excited to use it because of positive YouTube video reviews for my purposes.

I love love love everything Ryobi and I just added this generator to my collection of Ryobi stuff…. These tool are built strong for a man and usable for a woman that’s what I love about them.

Excelent electric generator

I used this generator around 20 hours before taking it to a place that had fine dirt. After that day it started having trouble starting and when it would start it would bog down from almost no load. So at this point I started pulling it apart and to my horror I found the air box full of dirt. The air filter is just a porous foam filter, it would need to be oiled to stop small particles. Tried taking it back to Home Depot as it was under three years old and they would warranty it. DONT BUY!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super simple to set up. Starts really easy. Reasonably quiet - but I have nothing to compare with, so take this comment for what it's worth. Great: Uses very little gas as I can tell - filled it up in the evening and it ran all night, powering a pellet stove and a fridge and some fans to distribute the heat from the pellet stove. Nice with the remote "supervision" on the phone app, especially to see estimated time left before refueling is needed. Clean design with everything encapsulated. Good handles to grab and move the unit. Not so great: the "auto idle control" does not keep up with some loads, and throws the generator into "overload" and shutdown mode. My example: running the pellet stove (draws <200W when lit and burning) and then attaching the fridge/freezer... The surge from the start of the compressor in the fridge is not handled well. Immediate generator overload and shutdown... Disabling the auto-idle and under the same conditions as described above: pellet stove burning, start of fridge - it works. When the fridge is up and running, you can enable the auto-idle. I think they (Ryobi) need to revisit how the auto-idle interacts with the overall power-ration for the generator - is should allow the generator to reach maximum RPM, and stabilize output, and THEN decide if there is an overload condition. Also not sure if the auto-idle and inverter circuitry actually manages to keep the output stable - later during the day, I disconnected the fridge and connected up a flat-screen TV and Home entertainment system (pellet stove still burning). Ran the TV/home entertainment system via a "kill-a-watt" type monitor, set to voltage - the indicated voltage fluctuated each time the pellet stove's pellet feed mechanism kicked in, and you could hear it from the sound of the room fans that they were slowing down temporarily before the generator caught up and compensated for that extra load (which is not very large). Before "you" say it - I use a 12 AWG cable from the generator, and the total load of pellet stove and TV/Home entertainment system was well within the stated limits of the generator... I think Ryobi should re-visit how this auto-idle and power output regulation is designed - it is not quick enough to respond as far as I can tell. When I have more time, I may bring home a power analyzer with transient recording function from my lab at work and do some more in-depth testing. Note: Had the larger inverter generator (4000 Watt) been available in the store, I would have bought that... probably a better choice as a back-up generator, with more aviable power "head-room".

I've owned this generator for awhile now and it is quite and fuel efficient, compared to other ones we've used in the past.. I unboxed it put the required amount of oil and fuel in it and then promptly put it to work, charging tool batteries and running lights here at our homestead high in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.. Couldn't be happier with it's performance so far, having put a couple of hundred hours on it as of now..

Purchased yesterday evening due to a power outage. Started great, ran great. Turned off before going to bed. In the morning the generator wa sitting in a puddle of gas on my driveway. So happy I was too tired to roll it into my garage. This thing is a fire hazard.
