Product Description

The parallel version of the IG2000 allows you to connect two IG2000P generators using an optional parallel wiring kit to double your maximum power output. This allows starting and running a 13,500 BTU air conditioner under most conditions. The operator is given greater versatility as two of the 31 lb. units can be transported and lifted easier than a larger 3000 watt generator.Features & SpecificationsSINEMASTER IG2000PSPECIFICATIONSMFG # IG2000PDESCRIPTION 2000W PARALLEL RDY GENAC VOLTAGE 120FREQUENCY 60HZMAX OUTPUT (WATTS) 2000MAX CURRENT (AMPS) 16.67RATED OUTPUT (WATTS) 1600RATED CURRENT (AMPS) 13.33DC OUTPUT 12V @7.5AHP @ RATED RPM 2.2 @ 4500STARTING SYSTEM RECOILPHASE SINGLEELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BREAKER INVERTER CONTROLLEDENGINE MODEL KG158ENGINE TYPE AIR COOLED, SINGLE CYLINDER, 4-STROKE OHV WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITIONDISPLACEMENT 106CCNOISE LEVEL NO LOAD-FULL LOAD (DB @23) 54-59FULL LOAD RUN TIME 3.5 HRS.FUEL TANK CAPACITY 1GALDIMENSIONS (L"xW"xH") 20"x11"x16.75"FUEL TYPE UNLEADEDDRY WEIGHT 48.5 LBS.RECEPTACLES 1 20A DUPLEXAIR FILTER KG105-07004SECONDARY AIR FILTER KG105-07003SPARK PLUG UR5HIGH ALTITUDE JET P151-015AACCESSORIES ALL GENERATORS INCLUDE A FREE ACCESSORY KIT CONTAINING AN OIL FILL BOTTLE, SPARE SPARK PLUG, SPARK PLUG WRENCH AND HANDLE, 12V DC CHARGE CABLE.

Kipor IG2000 Inverter Generator 2000 Watt Power Camping Generator (New 2012 Model) Review

I bought my Kipor IG2000 in 2009 but it has the same features as the 2012 model. I suspect the newer models are CARB (California Air Resources Board) compliant meaning the put out less emissions than previous models but otherwise similar.

I needed something to power my boat's AC while I was away from the dock and didn't want to pay $9,000 for a built-in marine generator that burns a gallon an hour.

This Kipor unit is very similar to the Honda EU2000 but costs hundreds less. They units are so similar that I've heard many of the parts are interchangeable but that might have changed in recent years. Again, my model is 3 years old.

Operation of the generator is very simple. You open the valve on the fuel cap, turn the generator to "On", set the choke to "Start", and a few pulls later the generator is running. I start mine with the Eco throttle off and let the generator warm up for a few minutes. When you're done you turn the switch to "Off" and the generator shuts off.

The eco option allows the engine to throttle up or down based on the power demands and gives you the quietest operation. Essentially these generators are a 4-stroke lawn mower motor connected to an inverter. The inverter produces clean steady power and throttles the engine up or down based on the demand. This also means if you're really using close to 1600w the engine is going to be running at higher RPM and be louder than if you were just using 800w.

In terms of noise the generator is reasonable. I can have it running right next to me and still have a conversation at normal volume. I can't hear the generator running at all over the AC running and its very faint with my baot's cabin door closed. I'd say from the sleeping area to the swim platform where I leave the generator is around 25 feet.

The negative is the unit only holds about a gallon of fuel tho there are extended run kits available that allow use of a secondary tank. A gallon will last around 8 hours running a smaller AC unit with Eco on but fuel consumption will vary on whatever load you put on it.

With a generator of this size you can run a few small appliances or maybe 1-2 big appliances. So for me I normally just run my boat's AC and the outlets (TV, phone charger, etc). To put it in perspective, a 26' boat normally has a 6500w generator to be able to run most everything at once. Also keep in mind that this generator has 2000w starting power but only 1600w continual. That is plenty of power to run most devices you might need to step up to a larger generator if you have higher power requirements.

The only time I've had a problem with this generator was on a Habitat for Humanity site. Generator went into a protection mode (it runs but won't produce power) because someone had attached an extension cord and was trying to run multiple circular saws off it. However, most circular saws use well over 1000w of power.

Lastly, maintenance of this generator is fairly simple. There is an access panel to change the spark plug and you can drain the oil by tiling the unit sideways with the oil fill plug open. I always add fuel stabilizer to the gas if the generator is going to sit for a while to avoid gumming up the carburetor.

Overall very happy with this unit and its performance. I would recommend it to my friends.
