Storm Energy Inverter/Generator

[Horizon170]

Hi, does anyone have any feedback of this generator. Looks good for a "B" RV. Electric start and less than $900.00.

The reason I mentioned it is because with 2600 useable watts (2800 max) you wouldn't need to parallel with another. I don't like the idea of paralleling generators when one size larger will probably do the job. I'm not sure that any "B" has a larger than 13,500 BTU A/C and the 2600 watt would power it I think.
25 x 14.5 x 25 inch is not much larger than the Honda eu2000i.

I've hunted around the Lifan web site for references to connecting more than 2 generators in parallel and was unsuccessful. If this was a real feature, I would think it would be mentioned somewhere.

If you get one be sure to post how it works for you. I have a Lifan motorcycle that has been fantastic but have no experience with their generators.

Should it prove reliable, it looks like it would be close to the same league as the Champion 3100i which is a few hundred watts more powerful but doesn't have electric start or the ability to be combined.

It's great to see the options in inverter generators are growing.

It looks interesting. From the Amazon description (Bold added by me):

Parallel cord jack on the unit and parallel cord ready to couple 2 or more units together for added power capability using parallel coupling unit model ESPPC (sold separately)

The ESPPC works with any combination of Lifan's 1000W, 2200W or 2800W Inverters

Nice looking unit with handle and wheels for easy handling.
In searching for info on it I can't determine if it can be coupled to another similar unit to double the watts.
