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

(Updated review:) I am changing my review to 5 stars as after correspondence with MaxpeedingRods and going through their checks they have stood up and done what’s right and stood behind their product by replacing our Generator. I believe that there was a fluke issue with the original one and it originally worked 100% only to later loose the electronic start function. I have no reason to believe that this is a systemic issue and think that it was just our luck of the draw to have that issue. The new generator works flawlessly. When a company like MaxpeedingRods stands behind their product we can tell that they are a company that we would like to continue to do business with and recommend their products to our family and friends. For full disclosure I paid for the first generator out of pocket full price and with the issue and going through their resolution they replaced it. Knowing this you can feel safe in spending money with them for an investment such as this. Thank you MaxpeedingRods! (Original review for reference:) I am going to say it’s a wonderful product with at this point questionable support. I am going through their support for the last week with limited effective responses. If this changes I will change my review to 5 stars but at this point the electric start has failed and they are sending me thru the same tests multiple times. When it arrived everything worked flawlessly and now only the electronic start functions do not work and I eagerly want a resolution but so far I’m just getting scripted responses from the app at first and now via email. If they help me resolve this it will truly be a quality generator however the support has to stand up and provide true assistance for this to happen. I believe they can if they are willing. (Final thoughts) as you can tell if you read everything they did stand behind their product and I once again commend them for it.

3500 watt pull start gasoline generator. Have used it for 150 hours and it starts every time. Max output is 2400 watts continuous which is expected because you lose 3% in engine output/generator output for every 1000 feet altitude gain and I live at 5600 feet and use this generator exclusively at 10,500 feet when camping in CO. Rotary knob for turning fuel and choke on (has off, run and choke detents) broke. Maxpeeding rods customer service told me to use a wrench to rotate the knob. I feel this is unacceptable. After I told them this was not a good option, they required me to send them a video to "determine what was broken." Anyway, I feel this is poor customer service. I previously owned two Champion generators and if I ever had an issue, they bent over backwards and send me repair parts no questions asked. I wish Maxpeeding rods customer service was half as good as Champions. Don't recommend, spend a little extra for better customer service should you need it. Update: 10.14.2025- Generator has 230 hours on it (I installed a hobbs meter when new). It now won't run consistently. Sometimes it starts and when it does, it often runs for several minutes and shuts off. Carburetor removed and cleaned (no issues or gunk in it), fuel lines replaced, spark plug replaced, air filter element removed and cleaned and problem still persists. THIS IS NOT A GENERATOR YOU USE FOR YEARS, IT IS BASICALLY GARBAGE. I suspect the electronic ignition has a defective component that fails when it heats up. BUY A CHAMPION if you want a reliable generator with amazing customer service after the sale.

held 2400w straight for an hour without any problems... is silent under 1000w ecomode....but rpm quickly rises past that. the gas cap has to be cracked open to start with the choke but almost start first pull then you can close it. the gas cap gasket was unsecure upon unboxing but stayed in place once put back in place... bluetti charges fine at 2400w with no excessive voltage drop/ but voltage is regularly in the 123v range at higher rpms... wouldnt use sensitive electronics that doesnt have a battery if you got intermittent loads on the same generator. But overall very pleased with the quality. it only ran 4 hours on 3 different occasions so well see in the long run.

I've had the pleasure of owning and extensively using the 5500watt inverter generator for over 200 hours, and I'm blown away by its performance, reliability, and quiet operation. This compact powerhouse has exceeded my expectations in every way, making it an indispensable addition to my outdoor adventures and backup power needs. The pure sine wave output has seamlessly powered my sensitive electronics, and the generator's quiet operation (considering its impressive 5500watt capacity). The compact design makes it easy to transport and store, perfect for RVing, camping, or home backup power. But what truly sets this generator apart is its reliability - 200+ hours of use with zero issues is a testament to its robust build and quality engineering. A crucial note: the oil changes are essential! I performed three oil changes within the first three hours of use, and the oil was surprisingly dirty. This proactive maintenance has undoubtedly contributed to the generator's flawless performance. The customer service has been phenomenal, responsive, and knowledgeable. Their support has been a game-changer, providing peace of mind and ensuring I get the most out of my investment. In conclusion, this 5500watt inverter generator is a top-notch choice for anyone seeking a reliable, quiet, and powerful solution. With its exceptional performance, compact design, and outstanding customer service, I'm thrilled to recommend it to anyone in need of a trustworthy backup power source.

Almost the same size and weight of my Honda EU2000i. It seems quieter to me than the Honda. Started on gas with first push of the button. Easily starts my camper air conditioner that the Honda wouldn't. Contrary to another review, bluetooth starting does NOT require any wifi or cellular service. I put my phone in airplane mode and just bluetooth and it starts and stops perfectly with the app. Tested it on propane and it also worked flawlessly. Will update if things change but so far it's very impressive.

**Update** October 2025: have used it now for over 2 years, including winter camping in the snow. It now has 2000 hours of run time on it! Just over a month ago, it ran non stop for 72 hrs at around 2500 watts output in near constant 32°C heat with no issues at all. Fuel consumption under these conditions was approx 0.7 to 0.8 litres per hour. Still performs well, still quiet and responsive when throttling up. Oil changes have not revealed any obvious issues such as dirty oil or metal glitter. Have used only full synthetic oil in the recommended grade since break in was completed. A couple of observations: 1. Ease of starting can vary a lot. Sometimes it starts on first pull, other times it requires many pulls both on choke or off choke with no obvious reason why--except the colder it is, the harder it starts. 2. Actual run time before running dry never came close to advertised. The best it ever did was 8hrs 25min on a FULL tank of premium, on Eco mode, with an intermittent load of only 450 watts. The gas tank is tiny, but that's the trade off for compact size and light weight. I created an auxiliary fuel system which increased run time approximately 5x longer. Very good value. Increasing my overall rating to 4.5 stars. Would definitely buy again. **End of Update** >>Original Review starts here<< I've only run it for a couple of hours so far, breaking it in with conventional oil and changing it twice. Will be putting it to use in a few days, as well as throughout the cold snowy winter doing off grid camping. A couple of issues I discovered right away: the air intake tube from the air filter box to the carb was not actually seated at all into the air box - it was sucking unfiltered air from inside the generator housing. I only discovered this when I took the whole side panel off to check how to clean the air filter. So I installed that intake tube correctly myself and now the air filter will actually do some good. The other small issue is the plastic housing is slightly in the way of getting the spark plug out or in when using the tool provided with the unit (spark plug tool is junk anyway - it stripped its own corners after about the fourth time using it; and i didn't over tighten it). Do yourself a favor and use an actual spark plug socket with an extension on a ratchet. Otherwise, generator is as advertised. Lightweight, compact, and quiet. Power output seems consistent. I tested the voltage with a 1000 watt load on (my shop vac), and it was steady at 123 volts output. It also had no issue throttling up from Eco mode when I turned on the shop vac. This generator will easily run a 14,000 BTU portable AC, plus three small to medium fridge/freezers, and several other small appliances all at the same time. I gave 5 stars to value, in the hope that this unit lasts me many years. Only time will answer that.

Seemed to run good and looked like a promising machine but I can't give it 5 stars because it's started leaking fuel all over the place and out of the intake. Can't return it so gotta hope for the best :/
