MaXpeedingrods 3500 Watt Portable Inverter Generator Gas Powered, EPA Compliant, Compact and Lightweight for Home Backup Power, Outdoor Camping, RV and Trailer

This is by far my favorite generator that I own (out of four). I use it to charge my solar home backup batteries when solar isn't cutting it. The app works well and the output THD is clean. It's a little louder than my generac iq3500, but the fact that it runs on propane more than compensates for that. I also like that I can pick it up and set it in the back of my truck and use it to power my welder anywhere I go. The build quality is great and is very efficient on propane. I get between 6 and 8 hours on a 20lb tank with moderate use. It's also great for camping when solar isn't enough to power my tent AC. I've also seen several people using them for RV's and they really like them. I also like the fact that they put a light on it. The display tells you all the info you need if you don't want to use the app. I usually don't push it past 2800 watts but it will surge to 3600 watts on propane if needed. I did swap out the spark plug it came with (torch) with an NGK plug. I haven't and don't plan on putting any gasoline in this generator, so I can't speak to it's performance on gas. Another perk to the design of this thing is the internal propane regulator, so I can use any propane hose that I want and not have to worry about an external regulator that other brands require that can break, be left behind, or misplaced. You still have to use a tank regulator, but not the big plastic/metal one that champion and predator come with. It also comes with a parallel kit if you want to combine two of these. I would definitely recommend this generator for any light duty single phase power needs.

Works great just don't leave it on and kill your battery because it’s impossible to get a replacement. I just use one of my drill batteries to start it. It’s just a little bit louder than my honda but nit by much and it supplies more power than my honda.

Horrible generator. Purchased this generator last year for off grid camping. After performing a break in oil change and running the generator for one hour on propane, the generator never stopped leaking oil. Every time i moved it around the garage there would be a new puddle of oil under it. After contacting maxspeeding rods directly and explaining the oil issue, and asking for an exchange on a brand new generator, they continued an annoying back and forth email where they tried to say it was overfilled, etc etc, never agreeing to an exchange, and to where i finally got tired of arguing with them and ceased contact. Fast forward a few months later, i haven’t had an opportunity to use the generator. Last night we had a bad storm and a power outage that may last days. I got the generator out that again, had one hour on it, and the battery is dead, and the generator will not start with the pull start and a full propane cylinder. When it’s needed most, it will not start. Do not buy this generator and the customer service is awful.

I am extremely impressed with this generator. I bought it for use with my 30A Travel Trailer in the hopes that it would run our AC while "off-grid". I love that it has a direct TT30A receptacle that doesn't require any adapters. Not only does it run our AC, but can do so effortlessly, even with the "Eco-throttle" engaged. It is very quiet. In practical use, I cannot tell it from the "red ones". I would need a dB meter to be able to tell you if there was an actual difference (I may borrow one and update this review). With it running outside, right next to the corner of our trailer, I can barely hear it running when I step inside, and if the AC kicks in, it actually makes it impossible to hear the genny at all, because the fan / compressor noise from the AC unit exceeds that of the genny humming outside. I had considered a 5500W 240V model that was twice as heavy (on wheels) and actually produces LESS 120V power "per leg" (To get max watts out of a 240V generator, you need to draw from both phases, so 2500W per side. So if you need a lot of 120V single-phase power, this is it! This little beast makes 3000 running watts, with 3500W surge. The red one I am referring to is 1800 running watts, 2200 surge. It costs over 1000 US, and is only 8 lbs lighter, weighing in at 47 lbs vs this one at 55 lbs. I plan to take good care of this little generator, and since I won't be using it commercially I expect it to last me for years. Yes, the red ones have (or at least used to...) an outstanding reliability record. I believe they are beginning to see some competition enter the market...

Like everything about it, extremely quiet. Runs my camper with no effort. The propane option is key for this. Plus the remote start is great.
