Don't be. This is a great buy. - I couldn't justify the price of the named brand for my needs. I just wanted a small generator that I could take on my sailboat a few times a year to run an AC in hopes the wife would tollerate a few overnights on the coast. After a lot of web searching, youtube research, and review crunching, I decided on this little guy. What a great buy. It is light, quiet, and runs well. It is thoughtfully designed with all the buttons and switches clearly marked and a well engineered gas cap. When I got it, I put in new oil, ran it for the time prescribed, replaced the oil, very little shavings. I bought a little run meter so I could keep up with the hours. I haven't used it on the boat yet, but I've used it a couple of other times. Once to run a power tool, and once on a camping trip with our little camper trailer that doesn't have a generator. It ran the camper AC and lights just fine. A high dollar camping trailer next to us had the high dollar named brand generator of the same size. Ours ran just like his, but ours was even quieter. Haha, that felt good. It starts within a few pulls when it's been sitting up for a while, and if I've run it within a few days, it starts first pull. I take it out of the shed to start it every few months just to make sure it will be ready when I need it. I haven't been disappointed yet. Buy it. Edit: one year after my first review, I thought I would update. The gen is still running great, no issues. I use methanol free gas and always run the fuel out of the line and carburetor by turning the orange knob. I think using ethanol free means you don't have to do that, but if you've ever had to clean gunk out of a carb, you don't mind the extra precaution. I'm attaching a vid of me pulling it out of the shed after a few months of non use. It took 7 pulls to get the gas fully back into the line. One pull restarts when fuel is in the line. Review: After a rocky first run, it works flawlessly. - The first run of this genny was rough. It didn’t seem to idle high enough and the overload light was illumined, of course no output. After shutting it down and waiting a few minutes I restarted it to see how it would run and it ran just fine. It’s got about a dozen hours on it so far, at a guess since there is no hour meter, and it’s performed flawlessly. I’ve had a lot of low draw loads on it and even had an 800 watt load at max and it works fine. It should be obvious, but you should give the genny at least a minute to warm up before putting a load on it and you should t run it on eco mode if you’re putting more than a 50% load on it. It’s still early in its life, but I expect this to offer years of service. ## Features - 【Powerful Engine And Safe For Sensitive Electronics 】The GENMAX 2000 Starting Watts Inverter Generator is powered by a 79.7cc 4- stroke OHV gas engine,with inverter technology produce 2000 Starting Watts/ 1600 Running Watts clean power (less than 3% THD), confidently connect your sensitive electronics such as TV, lights, fans, small power tools and more on camping trips, etc. - 【Ultralight And Small Size】At only 34pounds, GM2000i is one of the lightest 2000w inverter in this industry.

The guy fixed it for us and didn't charge too much. Since then we have been using it regularly and it is really efficient, pretty quiet and is very lightweight. Was surprised it even runs our saws. It's a shame they don't have better customer service, we could have been using it much sooner. We purchased this as a backup for our bigger generator. We didn't try it right away but while still within the return window we tried to start it. Followed the directions to a T and even went back through everything to make sure, double and triple checked. It never would start. I was told to contact company who insist I send them a video of me trying to start it. We had already drained oil and gas to ship and this was a ridiculous request as far as I was concerned. I told them exactly what happened when I pulled the chord. They would not respond to emails or phone calls. The return window with Amazon closed and now I have a giant, expensive paperweight. Very disappointed and upset with this purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - GENMAX Generator，EPA Compliant, Eco-Mode Feature, Ultra Lightweight for Backup Home Use & Camping - WEN 55201 Magnetic Oil Dipstick for Inverter Generators (compatible with WEN, Yamaha, Predator) - Magicalmai Inductive Hour Meter for Gas Engine Generator Lawn Mower Pressure Washer Marine ATV Boat Outboard Motor Dirt Bike Motorcycle Waterproof Hr Meters - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/423845047-portable-generator-2000w-ultra-quiet-gas-engine-epa-compliant-eco](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/423845047-portable-generator-2000w-ultra-quiet-gas-engine-epa-compliant-eco) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
