Xtremepowerus 3000w inverter generator

3000w inverter clicky
Just stumbled across this on amazon for $599!
Looks like a nice setup, has 30 amp rv plug.
Claims 59db @ 25% load
Anyone have one? I am curious if they hold up, seems like they would be great for Rv's, should run AC and more.
  • Just my take so far. Its larger in size and is about 25 lbs more weight than others in its class. I don't see what the running watts are. Looks like its a new model. Im not rich so I would spend a little more and get a Champion 3100 and that should run a 13500 AC with a easy start but its not going to run much of anything else. Just my opinion.
  • I'll give them kudos for saying up front that the watt rating is at pf 1. Engine displacement is a bit less than the eu3000i.
  • Consider replacement part availability, service documentation, customer support. I'm happy to buy a weirdly branded lithium jump starter from a Chinese company at $65; I would not be happy to try and save a couple bucks on a similarly sketchy generator.

    There's a 4kw open frame Champion listed toward the bottom of the page for a lower price than this one. Think about which one your small engine repair guy is going to be able to fix.

    That is definitely a concern, I have been a big fan of Champion for this reason. They offer an affordable generator that is well designed and quiet, but service and parts are readily available.
    I currently own a Champion 3500/4000w open frame generator and one of their 2000w inverters. They have been stellar!

    I just upgraded to a larger travel trailer with a 13k rooftop ac unit, so I am faced with the choice of getting another 2000i inverter to run parallel , or getting one of the larger inverters.
