Excellent discussion. I really like the 2300 inverters and bought one similar, I also have a GP2200i. The reason I like this size unit is because most extension cords are rated at 1875watts, I like the idea of never accidentally overloading the cord .. even if it is a substantial 10 gauge or 12 gauge. The size of the generator and it's peak output will never exceed the cords ability to handle the wattage. Besides, I have never needed more than 2000 watts even during a prolonged outage .. 2000 watts easily runs fridge, lighting, electronics and TV, floor fan and small 600 watt microwave.
Nice test, you have a great setup for testing. I have two questions, 1. At what watage did the overload light begin to flicker. 2. Please test surge capacity. You can start with a known load say 1500 watts on one receptical, then plug in a known load of 800 watts on the other receptical. Measure the number of seconds it pulls the full 2300 watts. If it kicks off right away, reduce the surge until it holds it for 2 or 3seconds. The most important specs are continuous rated power and surge capacity. That's why they are in the largest font on the side of the generator, but almost nobody tests for them, because it's hard. But you can. Thanks for your work.
Nice demo. I just bought the same unit with the Yamaha motor for my camper. Hooked it up yesterday and went through all my big draw items individually, blow dryer, microwave, Keurig coffee maker and so forth with no issues. I could run the microwave on high and blow dryer on low (500w), at the same time just fine. Just for giggles I did turn on my 15,000 BTU AC unit with no soft start.......not a chance. Look forward to watching your channel grow, good information.
On the 30 Amp receptacle i believe that mean its where you plug the 30 Amp camper type plug it doesn't mean you can get 30 amps out of that plug. The manufacture is being somewhat deceptive IMO
@@GeneratorReviews well i hope it would perform at its rated output. But its very important for most generators to handle peak power for high amperage startup motors and such. I have my doubts the AI Power would handle a 10,000 BTU AC when the compressor kicks on.
This generator is designed to be used in parallel with another generator. With two of these attached and running you can get 30amps out of them. In that configuration you have to use the 30amp plug, and it will deliver 3600watts. Read the Manual.
I thought that the 30 amp plug delivered 30 amps if you were running 2 generators in parallel. Parallel cables for other different generators are labeled 30amps on the plugs.
For 400 bucks, this is not a bad generator. I went back and forth between this and the blue one from Costco. That one has the MZ80 engine, however that engine is made in China (easily verifiable fact), and this engine is a clone of that one. The inverters and other electronic components are identical. This runs my home microwave (15 amps) without faltering, which, despite it's advertised rating, surprised me. One more interesting fact; this one has a 3 year residential warranty, while the blue one has a 2 year residential warranty. This distinction is listed on Costco's site, as well as A-Ipower's site. Very surprising, given the fact that most folks assume that the Yamaha engine is superior to this Senci engine.
Great informational video. Very precise and well done. New subscriber here. Thank you. I have two of these and like them very much. Glad to see the rating is real.
Thanks for retesting this. I nearly decided against the Ai-Power with the Yamaha motor because of your initial test, so this was really helpful. I'm curious if you tested the full load when eco mode was turned off. Does it maintain voltage or does it drop at all? I see during the eco mode test, voltage drops into the 80s, but that's only momentarily. If eco is off, I assume it'll hold constant voltage up to 1800 watts. Again, great test, super helpful!
You’re welcome! I always keep Eco mode on because that’s how majority of the people run their generators but yes if you’re pulling heavy loads it’s wise to turn eco-mode off and you would hold voltage a lot better.
What up Doe G!? Great breakdown of the 30amp receptacle, maybe a lot of people purchased it/ or was thinking about purchasing it because of that option?? Thanks again 👍🏻
Yes those cheap 16G extension cords will overload for lack of a better word. I can hear your neighbors wife shouting to her husband. Henry, Gavin's at it again. Thanks for all your work for just purchased one online.
Hello Gavin, thank you for the information provided in the videoI I would like to add that I use the 30 amp connection for my RV with single generator and it powers all of the RV items excluding A/C. The RV has an Onan 4000, but draining the carb is a hassle so I use the AI-power for RV prep and storage. One question as I am considering adding a 2nd AI-Power 2300 and noticed there is no 30amp breaker when in parallel. The two wires provided for parallel use are just jumper wires and nothing else. How do they protect 30amp service? Since the parallel mode cannot exceed 30 amp do they just rely on the generator cutting out? Here in California our storms have caused several power failures and this generator has worked beautifully powering needed items.
Thanks Gavin . I returned mine to Sam's club right after I watched your review . Being that this was the only one of the bunch that would not start and run the little window ac unit , what do you think is the problem . I'm looking at the Wen 56235i now. It's only 39lbs and 1900 running watts and alot smaller too. I believe this is their newest line . Thanks and keep up the great reviews. PS, I also ran mine ( before I returned it ) up to 1800 watts slowly no problem . I like the hard start tests 👍
I think its definitely something with the engine size because why would they sell two versions of this inverter generator, one with a Yamaha engine. So that makes me think that the regular ones aren’t able to handle 2300w so they just shutoff. I tried seriously tried making it pass three times but it couldn’t make it same outcome every time. That really frustrated me because I didn’t plan on those test result. The second time I think it passed because now the engine has been broken in, it handles the load but its not perfect. The others passed with flying colors so why would this one struggle on the same test. Thanks for watching 👍🏾
I think it's the engine size. It's the same engine 78cc as the 2000/1800 one. That's why I bought the 2700 with the 98cc it's 2200 running watts. I have noticed that their newer models are more truthful. For example they used to sell the 4000 peak unit 3500 running. It's now sold as 3800 peak 3500 running. My buddy has the same 2700 I just bought and it's great. He has a camper and starts his AC first then other stuff. He can also easily start and run a 6000 and 8000 BTU window unit but starts on low. Then can step it up to max if needed. They are newer window units so that could have something to do with it. There are 2 types of motors used in AC units. Forget the names but like a type G and type E. One takes 6x the running watts to start and the other takes only 3x. Also some units now have "easy start" on them to not slam the generators. I think it's more so that the new RVs with solar banks can handle them. Same with window units.
I tested my 2300 with a 40 year old garage refrigerator that my 3500 6.5hp had trouble starting and a 14amp pressure washer with an inrush current of 21amp and it had no problems with either. I was so impressed I went and bought a 2nd unit.
If you were in the market for a new 2kish generator and reliability, noise, and functions were your main features of importance, what manufacture would you lean towards for a truck camper that you could parallel to run a 10k BTU AC if needed?
Reliability, functions and Noise What about fuel type gas and propane I recently reviewed the champion dual fuel 2500 Check out this generators ruclips.net/video/lIvn-yBErLY/видео.html
@@chaddrx I don’t usually recommend but I’m going to give you three generators I like. *Generac GP 3000I, this generator is easily transportable and so Quiet you’ll never have to worry about running your ac Firman 2100i This one has the 30 amp twist lock and 20 amp plugs also have to carburetor drain feature after you shut off the generator Wen 2250 I like this generator it has a fuel gauge and the carburetor drain feature but it only has two 20 amp plugs
I'm not sure if I'm right or not but I believe the 30amp plug is for when you parallel 2 of them. That why the box says built in parallel box. Good video BTW
Nice video, but your point about two outlets getting exactly the same power is a little misleading. For starters the 5-20R outlet is restricted to 20amps by a circuit breaker whereas the 30amp outlet isn't. This is by design to allow higher power access when paralleling. I get your point they are essentially getting the same power when not being paralleled.
got me, subbed thx for the test. Since that "30amp" receptacle is nothing but a 20 amp, do you know how I can use that outlet by std plugs? Is there an adapter that can be used? I guess the only way to get that 30 amps is when matched up with another parallel generator, in this case does the 20amp become 30amp, since they are wired on the same circuit?
Will the oil change and new spark plug help with the power? Iv never done it to mine. My steam cleaner is 1500 wats and is not wprking anymore. My vacumes and washer work fine.
hello, I bout this for a small ac for my camper, i just went to put oil in it and the dipstick smells like gas with a tiny bit of oil on the dipstick. I bought it brand new. is this normal , this smell? or should i return it?
Just go ahead and add oil to it. Run it for about 20 minutes. Drain it. You should be perfectly fine. I don’t think you’re smelling gas. It’s just that it’s been in a box. Everything smells funny.
Just to be safe I would change the oil after you do your break-in once a year or every hundred hours when you store it make sure there is zero gas in the tank zero gas in the carburetor
@@GeneratorReviews I would say the 30 amp plug is also for marine use, my son has a cabin cruiser and it has that type of plug on marine cord. i don't know has fact but my guess, sure liked tour video.
Thanks Gavin- So it cut off in demo after you went to 2100watts? You mentioned the lights were 2000 watts, so I was wondering why the generator stayed at 1800 (the designated running time) once you retested? can the genrators go a bit past running time and still work? The reason i ask is because i need to buy a generator that powers 4- 500 watt bulbs, or 3- 500 watt bulbs and a small 430 watt fog machine, for a photoshoot- Thats about 2000w or close to that? If the unit is 2300w with a running time of 1800, can there be some leadway and handle 2000 watts? Im new to generators,and dont need it for house. TRYING TO DECIDE? The honda is so expensive BUT TRUSTED, and Im looking in the $500 range- Any tips on which one that is rated best and clarification on running time wiggle room?- Thanks for any info-
If you want something you can carry around really easy I would consider a 2500 watts generator that’s gonna allow you to run your 3 lights And still gives the generator a little leeway so it doesn’t run at100%
Para los que no tenemos conocimiento deberías explicar con palabras más simples, ese generador es el que compre y como se de tu capacidad ya que he visto otros videos tuyos esperaba entender pero no fue así, dijiste ( pasó la prueba ) pero que prueba , a mi me interesa saber cuantas horas dura y cuantos artefactos puedo conectar y si puedo conectar un ac de 110 más mi nevera Samsung inverter de 3 puertas, gracias por la ayuda que me puedas brindar .

Like 404 ! Great detective sleuthing on the single wire to both receptacles. Silly me, but what would happen if you had a 110v plug in at the same time as the 30a plug going out also? BOOM? : ) Or something like a voltage drop, brown out Maybe you mentioned this and I just missed it.
its so FUNNY People think just because a 2300/1800 Watt Gen has a 30Amp Plug it going to produce 30amps !! 2300= ONLY 19.16 Amps starting 1800= ONLY 15amps running
The best test of an inventor generator I've seen on RUclips. Good Job! I'd enjoy seeing a test of two running in parallel.

Like 404 ! Great detective sleuthing on the single wire to both receptacles.
Silly me, but what would happen if you had a 110v plug in at the same time as the 30a plug going out also?
BOOM? : ) Or something like a voltage drop, brown out
Maybe you mentioned this and I just missed it.
Yep! I don’t think anything will go boom probably just trip the breaker or over load the engine or voltage drop.
nice i am going to buy one
How does the circuit breaker work if paralleled via supplied kit and 30a RV adapter? Does it trip at only 20 amps?
The parallel kit circuit breaker will trip
@@GeneratorReviews I didn't know the supplied parallel kit had a breaker. Good to know. Thank you
I bought one new and it won’t run my 5K BTU portable A/C
Same issue I had the first time I tested it.
@@GeneratorReviews so you think I should retest it to see if it holds now?
@@SouthSideBullyz Just one question what gauge extension cord are you using if it’s less than a 10 gauge you’re gonna have that problem
Also try it in both modes eco-mode and normal
@@GeneratorReviews I guess basic orange 100 ft. But I also plugged it into the I power directly.
OK.
Is what I need to know.
Thanks.
its so FUNNY People think just because a 2300/1800 Watt Gen has a 30Amp Plug it going to produce 30amps !! 2300= ONLY 19.16 Amps starting 1800= ONLY 15amps running
😅😂🤣
I know right!!! That cracks me up
Thanks for the laugh Dan 👊🏾👍🏾 you don’t know how many times I have to explain this.
The 30 amp receptacle is for running it parallel with another generator
Very good test. Thanks for this
only 15 amps max per the math
Yes
