I picked up one side and I think my husband and I could lift it... twice per trip. LOL No more though. We live in Texas, too, and it looks like you and I have the same issues we're trying to fight. :) Nat |

I have the Yamaha at 50-53 decibles and I'd hate to have to stand by it and talk for very long. It's not loud but it's enough that you find yourself elevating you voice to carry over it. |

Location: Rushville, Indiana | I was fortunate enough to hear this generator run at the Equine Affair in Columbus, Ohio this past weekend. It is very comparable to the Honda generator. Maybe a tad bit louder but not something that would bother the whole campground! We were able to have a normal conversation without it bothering us. We plan on purchasing one as soon as we can. The gentleman we spoke to said they ran one on a tank of gas for I beleive he said 18-20 hours. |

The 18 - 20 hours is probably 1/4 load.
My generator is here!! BUT, it's an hour away at my folks. We're not home during the day and I work on the 3rd floor of a hospital so I had it delivered where someone could sign for it.
Will try to get up there tomorrow.... EXCITED! |

Do these generators have half-power like the Honda's? If so, I bet the higher hours are at lower power while the 8 hours listed in the literature is full power. Just a thought. Please someone correct me if my thinking is wrong (so I'll learn, too). :)
I, too, am very interested in hearing how this generator does as I'm one step away from buying one down here.

I was going to check that before we pick one up because it's a feature I wanted for what we'll use it for. Hey, I didn't realize you were the person with that cute trailer! Nice interior. I must have referred to it a couple of dozen times when trying to get inspiration for redoing our new trailer. :)

The oil is a PITA to get to but other than that, it's great!
Started right up on the first try.
Smart throttle on - VERY quiet.
I don't have my trailer with me so dad and I hooked up a 1600watt hair dryer and it didn't skip a beat.
It throttles up quickly and does get louder but very tolerable (like talking loudly) and supposed to be within national guidelines.
If you've been looking at them - GO GET ONE! Kudos to Kipor! |

Location: Southern New Mexico | We bought one with our new camper and it runs all night on one tank of gas. We don't run it on the power save mode with our air conditioner (18000 btu, supposed to be the largest made) because it bogs down a bit when the ac starts up, but on regular power it does great. I haven't tried it with the microwave yet. We are going camping this weekend so I'll try it out. It is a bit louder than I would like, but it didn't keep me up at night even though it was right under the sleeper. Oh, and letting hubby buy the camper worked!!! I finally got a bigger truck. No more half ton!!! Now I just need to get a a/c for the horse trailer. I wonder if a different muffler would make a difference. Anyone know? I need to find the thread that talked about it.

Location: Rushville, Indiana | Thats good to hear. I beleive we will buy one soon! When you bought it on the internet, did it come with a warranty? If something does go wrong, can you take it to a local dealer who carries them to have it fixed? We have dealers in Indiana that carry them now, but they are asking about $350.00 more than what you can buy them off of E-bay. So I am trying to decide exactly where I am going to purchase it. Now, if I can just get my trailer back so we can go camping!! We purchased a new to us trailer this past winter and are having it re-painted and the living quarters updated, he is almost done with it, we are real excited to see it!!!!! Our electric camping sites with sky high this year at the Indiana State Parks, so buying a enerator will eventually pay for itself! Thanks for the info! |

Location: Zionsville, Indiana | If you buy this generator from a dealer, the dealer can handle warranty thru their distributor. Our distributor guarantees the product and even will provide a loaner unit and pay all freight if there is a problem. If you buy it off the internet, you might save a few bucks, but you are on your own getting help if there is a glitch. These things are made by people, so glitches are always possible, though hopefully scarce. |

You know, without interfering with the circulation needed to keep the gen running cool, maybe you could make a box to surround it to help a little with the noise? I'm considering the same (and to keep it out of the weather) - something light and insulated that I could break into two parts and just put around/over the gen when we get where we're going.
If anyone here has done anything like that before I'd love to hear how it went?

Location: Atlanta, GA | Hey, I ordered mine on Monday, got it Tuesday and have been trying it out with different things to see how loud it would get.. This thing is amazing! The only problem that we had is our big LQ is pre wired for a generator and has the change over switch installed, this causes a problem when you do not have a 30 amp hook up. All we had to do is make up an adapter for the 30 amp plug on the generator to fit my trailer plug and it worked just fine. We even have a 16,000 BTU AC on our trailer and it had no problem kicking it on and running it. Even under a load this generator is so quiet. I am so happy, now I can take either trailer and go primitive camping and have all the power I need. (so much for primitive) HEE HEE If you are contemplating this purchase, you will not go wrong. OH, by the way, if you see the 3000 advertised it is the some generator as the 3500.. Have fun shopping.. Good Luck and Happy Easter |

When Coast started handling it they had the name changed to 3000 to go more in line with the out put.. Soon the only place for the distributor to get the Kipor will be through Coast.. |

Location: Atlanta, GA | Hey everyone... I went camping this weekend and some friends that we were right next to had a Honda.. My Kipor was quieter than their Honda. It wasn't by much but it was quieter. Both generators were very similar in design, they almost looked like the same gen. in different colors. But my Kipor had wheels and made it so much easier to move around. And it was about half the price of the Honda. I Love My Kipor ASJ |

I put a call in to my local dealer (Kay) for a price this morning and hoping to hear back from them later today. Unless theres some huge price difference of $200-300 above the internet price I think I'll buy mine local. Anymore updates on usage in the field? |

Location: Tipton, IN | Well, I ordered one of ebay. The description said 3500Ti, but when I got it today, it was the newly numbered 3000ti, with the 30 amp twist lock plug. Took all of 20 minutes to put on the wheels, oil it up and hook up the battery. She fired up on the first kick. So I hooked it up to the motor home and kicked on the 15000btu A/C and the fridge. She ran like a charm under load and was pretty dang quiet. Just have to make a 30amp pigtail tommorow, and the daughter can take it to the show with her this weekend. Not bad for $800 less than Honda or Yamaha. |

Location: Lone Oak, Tx | Used ours this past weekend at an endurance ride. Started it up at 3:00 pm Friday and shut it down at 3:00 pm Sunday with it powering our A/C (during the day) our fridge and the occasional Microwave useage. All in all I'm extremely satified with it. The noise level was great, although it is a bit noiser with the Smart Throttle off, and the gas usage was minimal. On Saturday, with the A/C and the fridge running, it ran from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm without the "Smart throttle" on. That's 9 hours without having to fill it up. With the smart throttle on (no A/C running as it would not power up the A/C with the Smart Thottle switch on) it ran from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am Friday night and had a little less than half a tank of gas in it Saturday morning when I checked. I love the fact that the gas gauge works cause it didn't in our other generator. All in all I used 7 gallons of gas all weekend in this generator with it running for 48 hours straight. Walked by a Honda of the same size and the noise level was very compariable. For the price, it can't be beat.
Just had to put my .02¢ in.

I haven't used mine in almost a month - so I figured it needed to run for a few minutes since it's been exposed to 7" of rain and several 100* days.
It started right up! |

We asked about the gauge. He opened several boxes and none of the 3500's had the E/F .... So we bought the 3000. He said they are the same generator, the 3000 replaces the 3500. FYI |

It is true that Kipor changed the name of the 3500ti to the 3000ti just very recently. Bought mine right around the time it was changing.

It turned out it was low on oil and the safety system wasn't letting it run. Changed the oil, filled it back up, and it started and ran perfectly. Out of gas...... And he watched me fill it up!! Of course if it had the gage he might not have believed it either. |

On paper, Kipor hould be a tad bit louder, but for those that have experience with Hondas, they say they are the same. (I personally don't know - and don't care. This Kipor is QUIET)
IMO, just look at both. If you want super quiet, cough up $3k for an Onan. But, Kipor and Honda both are below state noise requirements so you're good with either choice.

Location: nc | thanks for the info. I went to the onan site and could not figure out which generator you are refering to for $3,000. All of the onans listed on their website have sound ratings of over 60db. That is far from super quiet. Which one are you meaning is super quiet? |

That is far from super quiet. Which one are you meaning is super quiet? Marquis Series. They're measuring 60+db at 3 meters (roughtly 10 feet)
The Honda/Yamaha/Kipor are 60+db at 7 meters (roughly 22 feet) |

Location: Kress, Texas | I guess I really lucked out. A couple of months ago, a friend called and asked if I still wanted a generator. Well, yes. He came across a "new" never started Multi-Power MP7000E, suggested retail is $2599, and I got it for $625. No, it's not stolen. The guy owns a business and was in a money crunch! It has 6000 cont. watts and 6500 max. watts. I was afraid it would be SOOO loud, but last Sunday I used it for the first time to run the A/C, and it really wasn't any louder than the smaller ones around me. I still want to add the aftermarket muffler thing to quieten it down some more. |
