Generac iX2000 - 2000 Watt Portable Inverter Generator

I bought this model last May where we would have it as an emergency power source when electricity went out. From the beginning I noticed that it ran rough. Then it got where it would not start. I sent it to a authorized repair shop and the repair person said he thought he knew what the problem was(the Carb) as some of the models had faulty ones. When I got it back it started and ran like a dream. I am very satisfied other than the company should have fixed this problem before putting it on the market. The unit starts on the second pull and runs really smooth since the repair. I gather that this was a rather common problem for some of these machines so if you are having problems with rough running I would check the carb.

I've been shopping for a 8kW generator since the freak snow storm in October left us without power for 7 days. I need power for the major appliances and the hot water, but also, I work from home on computer systems. The guys from EGD recommended an inverter generator for my electronics, my computers and my router and TV, rather than a standard portable generator.

This Generac arrived as promised, was a breeze to set up, and started with just a few pulls. The user's guide is crystal clear, no guessing. It ran for over an hour on very little gas- I just wanted to try it out before prepping it for long term storage! It is surprisingly light weight and quiet. Its considerably less money than the Honda and Yamaha inverter generators, and while those brands are widely praised, it was hard to justify the extra expense. This Generac was about half the price. We'll take it camping and tailgating, besides having it handy for the next emergency. Best of all, I can work from my home office without worries that I might damage my router and computer.

I plan to purchase another portable generator for the rest of the house. In the end, I'll be spending pretty close to the same amount of money, getting the same total wattage. I feel buying this 2000W inverter generator and another 6000-7000 watt portable is the best way to go for me, for so many good reasons. The support guys from EGD helped me make a very good choice, I think. I will buy my next generator from EGD as well.

It's a little noisier than I expected. I'm sure the Honda & Yamaha are quieter but cost almost 3X as much. It ran my furnace and a couple lights easily. I think it might be able to run both furnaces as long as the motors don't start-up simultaneously (they have ECM motors).

I did the initial 5 hour run-in testing it on my furnaces, but mainly on a 1500 Watt electric radiator and about 300 Watts worth of lights. It seemed like it was about to stall whenever it loaded down with an increased load, but it didn't. .

It's pretty light. Started up just fine. Beware the priming pump. I had an incident where I had primed it, ran it for 5 minutes after I changed the oil, then shut off the fuel at the cap. For some reason it siphoned out about a 1/2 cup of gas and it spilled all over the garage floor. SO be sure to let it sit outside for a couple hours after it's done running gas cap vent still open.

Glad I bought it. It gives me piece of mind that we can stay in our house when the power goes out for extended periods in winter. It should be large enough to run the refrigerator or a small window AC unit... one at a time of course.

I got generator before hurricane with next day service that paid off because I was just worried about keeping my sumps running, lost power for close to 24 hrs. I could not get a generator anywhere at the time near me, wife found site, got one for us, her brother, and mentioned site as many neighbors got them from here. The generator is a little noisier than I thought it would be, seemed like reasonable power for what we needed it for (I've used up to 6000 watt at work). Other than that happy with purchase as I should have had one anyway as we lose power pretty periodically. Directions and set up were very easy.

August 25th, 2011...Holmdel, NJ. We were told to prepare for hurricane Irene and lots of rain. Having a finished basement and a sump pump, we called around to all local stores, there were no generators anywhere. I googled, "generator delivered over night" and came to your site, Electric Generators Direct. I called the toll free number and was promised a Generator for delivery the next day, Saturday.

I was nervous it might not arrive, but at about 11am, there was our new generator. It literally saved our finished basement, which was not insured. We used the generator for 82 hours, refilling it with gas about 3 times per day. It operated our sump pump and refrigerator. It was easy to use and worked very well.

We were very grateful and would recommend this generator!

My wife and I can't say enough good things about the product and the company.

First, about Electric Generators Direct and their service:

It was Friday Aug. 26th late in the morning. Hurricane Irene was bearing down on the Jersey shore, and though we are 12 miles inland, we have a high water table and the sump pump is the only thing that comes between our awesome finished basement and a $10,000 - $15,000 disaster. Though we were already planning to invest in a 10KW standby propane powered unit, we only just moved in a couple of months ago and hadn't yet gotten estimates. So we were without any emergency generating equipment at all.

After dozens of calls and internet searches, I quickly learned that there was not a single portable generator within 150 miles. Then I found Electric Generators Direct and saw that they had this unit in stock and available for next day air Saturday delivery. When I called, the representative was great, and I could tell she was genuinely concerned with our situation and wanted to help. In a few minutes, the order was placed and as the day progressed, I received e-mails confirming the order and shipment, including a tracking number. The unit arrived at Newark airport in the early morning and it was at our door by early afternoon.

Now, about the unit:

Instructions were simple (and not full of useless information), setup was a cinch - really just a matter of pouring the engine oil into the crankcase, filling the fuel tank, and grounding it (very important BTW!). The unit started with a few pulls, ran rough for a bit as it broke in, then settled down. Once it was running smooth, I connected our sump pump via a heavy duty 12 gauge extension cord and let it run for a while to make sure it could handle the load.

I used the FlexPower switch on so that I could save fuel. Once I was satisfied that the unit could handle the sump pump load (13 HP pulling 6.5 Amps continuous and about 250% of that on startup), I shut it down and stowed it in the garage ready for the power outage we were dead certain would come when the heavy winds hit. Sure enough, at 8:30 AM Sunday morning as we were just about to head down for coffee, out went the lights. I pulled the unit outside, started it up and put the sump pump and DC backup sump pump online (8:45 AM). I decided to let the unit run out of gas to see how long it could run on a full tank, and it wasn't until about 2:15 that fuel ran out. I let it cool down for about 30 minutes while I monitored the DC backup sump pump cycling and successfully keeping the water line level in the sump pit (phew!).

Then at 2:45, after refueling, I started the unit and brought the load back online. Atabout 8:00 PM after a nice candlelit dinner, I decided to try adding the load of our 22 cu.ft. fridge to the unit. I did that and checked the overload light but there was no issue, and the fridge chilled down to normal while the sump continued to pump out the continuous flow of watter pouring into the sump pit (I'd estimate a flow rate into that pit of about 2 GPM!).

At 10:45 PM, the unit was still running on the second tank and we wanted to hit the sack, so I took the fridge offline, shut down, refueled and restarted to run the sump pump through the night. When we woke up this morning at about 7:00 AM, the power had been restored and the unit was still running strong maintaining the sump pump load effortlessly.

Folks, this company and this unit saved us from a total loss of our awesome finished basement that we estimate would have cost at least ten grand to put back the way it was. In terms of some of the bad reviews I saw, my suspicion is that the units were not grounded properly (or at all) which could easily result in unstable voltage and other issues.

THANK YOU GENERATORS DIRECT CREW AND GENERAC (AND YOU TOO FEDEX)!!!!

I have the Generac iX2000 and have had NO problem with it so far. I did connect the front ground lug to a very good ground before using it both times. Recently on a forum, I found some post about people who found that when not grounded the Generac iX2000 did not perform well, but when grounded it worked well. All I can think of is that there is some stray voltage messing up the voltage regulation if the unit is not well grounded. I do not know for sure if grounding is the key to getting the electrical part of these units to work well, but it can't hurt.

Be sure to keep record of how many hours are on the oil, change it often, and check the oil level every time you add fuel.

Fresh fuel is a real big deal when it comes to reliability. A good test is simply sniff for the smell of gasoline from several feet away from an open gas can. If is does not smell like gasoline, it may no longer be good enough for your small engine. Using an additive such as Sta-Bil, Sta-Bil Marine, RedLine SL-1, or SeaFoam seams to be a real good idea to keep the fuel system clean in small gasoline engines. This is especially true now days with ethanol in gasoline. Ethanol attracts water molecules right out of the air, even on the surface layer of gasoline left over if you run the unit dry. When the water combines with ethanol it becomes acetic-acid, (a mild acid, also known as vinegar), and even though this is a mild acid, over long periods of time it will eat the metal of your carburetor parts and render them un-reliable or totally useless. This is a problem with all makes and models of small engines nowadays. Any one of these fuel additives seam to work to prevent this problem. Different people have there preference as to the one that works best.

I made an online purchase of the Generator iX 2000 a few weeks ago and have run it about 6 times since it arrived. Each time it has run, it has run differently, sometimes very poorly, meaning inconsistent idle, misfires, flooding and shutting down with gas pouring out of the overflow tube from the carburetor.

A call to the technician suggested that the carb float may be stuck. When I ran it again tonight, just trying to get familiar with the unit, it seemed to run fine. But don't let anyone tell you that this machine is quiet. Quiet is a relative term but I doesn't seem to fit the decibel output that I am hearing.

I got it new at a very competitive price and think I will get the problems sorted out, if they haven't cured themselves already.

We used the generator to power our travel trailer for the first time this weekend. It will run the microwave or the air conditioner, but not at the same time. It rained buckets, but the weather did not seem to affect the exposed generator.

Fuel economy was much better than quoted. It was a little fickle to get started, but not too difficult. One weird issue: after starting the engine ran at a high rpm and no electricity was generated. The overload light would blink on and off, but nothing was plugged in.

After a few minutes I shut the engine off and restarted. It worked fine after that.

Buy a Honda. I purchased this last year from EGD because it was 2200 watts peak and was a decent price. It seemed okay for a while but started to run strangely once and a while and starts very hard.

Well yesterday when the power went out and I wanted to run my sump pump and give the main generator a rest for the night I started it and let it run for a while. Plugged it in and all seemed well. I heard it running strangely and went back out shut it down unplugged it and you could smell that something was burning.

I tried to start it again and it revved up super high and you could see something arcing inside. Shut it down and tried to start again and the pull cord had melted in half.

Bought a Honda today. It started right up and ran the pump all day. Generac is loud, over revs, starts hard and apparently is only good for about 25 hrs of service since that's all it has ever been used. I really kicked myself today because I know better.

I bought the 2000 watt Generac Inverter Generator to charge my RV's batteries when solar fails, occasionally run the microwave oven, and in the event of battery failure to retract the RV's slide-out. The Generator starts easy and is fairly quite - not Honda quite, but not excessively loud.

The XI2000 has two settings economy and full power mode. Economy Mode works as advertised - engine throttles to match load and output is well regulated - runs my 1500 watt microwave. The Full power mode doesn't work so good, voltage regulation is bad, loading with 1500 watts causes an output voltage to drop by half ( to 60 vac ) followed by recovery - my microwave won't run on 60 vac, its micro-controller resets. More importantly, the poor regulation associated with Full Power mode could damage attached equipment, so I won't use full power mode. The bottom line, the generator has worked out OK, but the full power mode is a disappointment.

I took my XI2000 to an approved repair center and I asked the technician to check to insure voltage regulation was according to manufacture specification. Her eyes glazed over, not having a clue how to do a proper assessment. About 2 hours after I dropped the generator off, the service center called an told me to pick up the generator, it was working fine... Basically, they checked the full power mode, by loading it with a small AC, RV refrigerator, and some lights. No regulation check and no recovery time check.

I called another service center, and the person I spoke with seemed knowledgeable - now back from vacation, I'm going to make time to get it checked out properly. I'm guessing the XI2000 doesn't regulate well in Full Power Mode.

I had been hoping for an inverter generator for some time , to replace the ridiculously noisy standard type generator we already had . The old one was wildly noisy and a BEAST to handle, especially by myself .

My needs for an inverter generator was for an outreach ministry that make effort to assist people in dire need in life . We assist homeless , drug addicts , prostitutes and in general anyone else trying to better their lives . All to often , a standard generator just wasn't practical simply due to all the noise , bulk and weight . Trying to set " THE BEAST up and run it was just more than we could take which prompted us to look for this style generator .

We looked pretty closely all winter long at these units and did thorough comparisons .Yes , we did see the reviews with the choke lever breaking situation and came to realize that was redesigned . Also heard some noise about hard to re-start after shutting it down . Personally , and in my opinion . Most folks don't understand how small engines think when on the restart and true as I assumed , I've found it not a problem in my case . Again , we needed quiet operation .

Most often we go and setup the " WORLD WIDE WITNESS WAGON " as we affectionately call it and run for the most part , a laptop , small powered speakers and several fans to stay cool along with any other need that comes along . Not forgetting to mention we will often offer temp power to someone else in need at the time .

No ! It doesn't say HONDA on the side , nor did we pay an extra 800 smackers for that HONDA decal . In knowing the HONDA might well actually be the better unit , we are on a tight budget with a few donated dollars and what we can earn selling bibles to do our Outreach effort . The Generac ix200 just seemed logical .

I had seen it on several sites offered from a variety of prices . You guys simply appeared more knowledgeable and more fairly priced so we gave you a shot and called . The gentleman on the phone was well knowledgeable and informed on all your products as he helped us do a final decision on the ix2000 . He made no effort to sway us one way or the other towards his opinion . He just gave us the facts and from that we made the final decision .

Great phone salesman . You don't pay him enough I am sure . Got the unit very promptly . Took the ix2000 out of the box and it fired up instantly . While I let it warm up a bit and just get used to being alive , I then grabbed the owners manual and read it for the first time . Well written and a child could understand it . We let the unit run for a couple of hours on it's first start up , shut it down , let it sit a few and it fired right back up .

We took it on the road the next weekend and it functioned flawlessly all day long in the heat . It ran well better than 8 hours on a gallon of gas in eco mode with two high powered fans , the laptop , the speakers , and an off an on again other small item or two throughout the day . FLAWLESS ! QUIET ! AND HARD WORKING UNIT !

We bought the unit with donated money and will back for a second one as soon as funds become available . We also have a prtable 1600 watt PA system we need to power . The unit will power the PA and our other small toys at once if we need it too but we'd like to have the two units running on different ends of our setup so the second as we acquire it will be great .

Thanks tons for the great unit and the excellent service . Looking forward to doing business with you again soon ,

I bought my ix2000 from a local farm and fleet for use around the job site and as a back up to run my sump pump. I love this generator. I looked around the internet and found a lot of bad reviews on this generator but it works great for me.

In the picture it was running a 500 watt shop light, a 3.5 peak horse power craftsman vacuum, and at times an angle grinder and it didn't even struggle. The generator starts on the first pull every time, even in 35 degree weather.

Some tips i can say are to always run premium gas with seafoam added to the gas, change oil regularly (i think 100 hours between oil changes is way too long), I change mine weekly if i have been using a lot. After all, they hold less than a quart of oil.

Another thing that nobody does is once you get your generator take out the aircleaner and oil it. i used K&N airfilter oil. It even says to do it right in the book. This will save your motor.

I will admit that this generator is a little loud but it still gets a 5 star rating from me.

Reviews on other sites talked about the choke lever breaking or being broke when the unit arrived. However, now Generac has revised the choke and the unit I received has a good choke leaver.

The slot that the choke leaver goes through is part of the cover that you must remove to service the oil, and or air-filter.

BE CERTAIN TO ALWAYS MOVE CHOKE LEAVER TO THE CENTER POSITION SO IT WILL NOT GET SNAGGED AND OVER STRESSED WHEN YOU PUT THE COVER BACK ON WHEN SERVICING OIL AND OR AIR-CLEANER.

It might be a good idea for Generac to widen the length and width of the slot that the choke lever goes through to insure that it can not get snagged when the cover is put back on. However the air flow for cooling inside the case is carefully worked out, and I would not modify that slot, without permission, as it may void warranty.

Some reviews of inverter gen-sets are negative because they would not start a particular furnace, or AC unit.

Inverter generators do not produce more power than they are rated for, even for a brief amount of time. I have read reviews of other manufacturers inverter gen-sets rated at 3000 watts that would not start a furnace. While others use 2000 watt or smaller units to start furnaces with out any problem. The starting watt draw for furnaces and air-conditioners varies depending on the manufacturer and design. Also if the size of the cord used is too light of a gauge there will be too much voltage drop, and the unit will not start. It seams having enough wattage to start a given furnace or air-conditioner with a given inverter gen-set is a hit or miss thing. Unless you used a meter that measures peak power or current demand during starting, or someone has successfully started that model of furnace or AC unit with that size inverter gen-set you can not be sure a generator will start it until you try it.

I ran my Generac iX2000 inverter gen-set to break it in with the oil provided. Here is what I found. Filling the tank is a little tricky. I looks like there is plenty of room left, and then all of the sudden the next thing you know, it is over filled. There is a very sharp change in the way the tank accepts fuel. So when you have the fuel about 1/4 of an inch above the bottom of the strainer, add fuel very slowly after that. There should be a mark of some kind on the strainer showing when it is full.

After opening fuel valve, and priming 5 times as the directions show, and then opening vent, with eco throttle off, the unit started on the second pull. The rope is not that hard to pull. I slowly remove amount of choke as engine warmed up. The engine is no where near as loud as my Coleman Powermate with 10 HP Tecumseh engine. This engine is quiet enough that you really do not require ear plugs to safely be around it.

I let it warm up for five minutes then ran it at 1,000 watts resistive heater load, and 2000 watts resistive heater load first for 5 minutes on each, and then 10 minutes on each, and then 20 minutes on each, and then 30 minutes on each. The generator puts out 120 volts all the time. There was a dip in voltage down to 90 volts for about one to two seconds with change in load. And the voltage never exceeded 120 volts with reduction in load. In all, this generator does exactly what is it is rated for. It can put out 120 volts AC for any load from 0 to 2000 watts continuous. It ran for 4 hours and 34 minutes. The first three hours were switching the load from 1K to 2K and back. After three hours I let it run with not load until it ran out of gas.

This generator is just under 50 pounds and light enough to move with one hand. It is bigger than some popular more expensive units, but puts out more continuous power. It also uses the fuel a little faster, but has a larger engine, and again does have a higher continuous power rating.

I can live with having to make sure the choke lever is always placed in the center position when not running, so it never is abused when the cover is put back on. The only thing I would like to see would be an external fuel tank that one could use for extended run times. The prime pump could simply be transferred to an external tank, and a hose to a cap would go on the gen-set. The prime pump may have to be pumped a few more times because of larger dead air space, but it would be real nice to have an external tank large enough to run this unit for 24 hours or more. It has low oil protection, so there is no danger of damaging it from low oil during a long run.

Placed on the far end of the yard, with 50 feet of cord, it is quiet enough for the neighbors, and people in the house.

In all, so far, it seams to be a good inverter gen-set for the money.

I paid over $500 dollars for generator that will a run a lamp. I purchased the generator to run one small 110 air conditioner in my truck camper, and it won't even do that.

EGD RESPONDS: We have had other customers use this generator to run their truck camper air conditioners with no problem, so we suggest you give the folks at Generac Tech Support a call at (888) 436-3722.

They will be happy to help you get the best performance from your generator.

The hardest part of running an air conditioner is getting it started. You will want to make sure your Flex Power is set to High for the power you need. Leaving it in the Eco (fuel conserving) setting may not get the job done.

I researched and researched several generators. I decided on the Generac to replace my old Coleman Powermate, as well as Generators Direct for my purchase.

Upon their super-fast delivery I opened it filled the oil and gas. Choked it and pumped the primer 5 times. Started on the first pull. I ran it for about two hours.

It ran my air conditioner and mini-fridge in my truck camper along with a radio and lights with out issue. Shut it off, started it again last night for only the second time. First pull again, and it started right up.

It is considerably quieter than my Coleman. I can not hear it with the air running. I leave in two weeks for a week and half in the Ontario bush.
