Product Description
New model IG1000 (used to be KGE1000Ti) Rated Frequency (Hz): 60; Rated Voltage (V): 120; Rated Current (A): 7.5; Rated Rotation Speed (rpm): 5500; Rated Output Power (W): 900; Max. Output Power (W): 1050; DC Output: 12V-8.3A; Electric Circuit Breaker: Available; Phase Numbers: Single phase; Fuel Tank Capacity (L): 2.6; Rated Continuous Running Time (hr): 4.2 to 16; Noise Level [dB(A)/7m] (Zero Load): 54 ; Noise Level [dB(A)/7m] (Full Load): 59; EPA Certified Engine - 55cc OHC, single cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled, low emission; Sinemaster digital inverter generators are approximately 50% smaller and lighter than traditional generators because the alternator is directly connected to the engine, and the flywheel is therefore eliminated. The voltage is constantly adjusted to maintain at 120V by the computer inverter module. The light weight design makes them ideal for transportation.Sinemaster digital generators are equipped with the unique smart-throttle. It can automatically regulate the engine speed according to the load, so the fuel consumption of digital generator sets is 20%-40% lower than traditional sets, so the running time is therefore much longer as well. The noise level is further reduced at lower running speeds. Sinemaster digital inverter generators have a new two-tiered noise dampening system, so the noise emitted by these generators is 6-9 dB less than traditional generators. This translates to 4 to 8 times quieter than conventional generators. A 3 dB drop in noise level represents the half amount on the actual noise. This meets the new noise ordinances that some state and national parks have adopted. 2 years warranty, we have a repair center and stock most of the parts.

 Perfect for my off-grid beach shack! July 4, 2007

Although it lacks the Amperage to power heavy duty items like circular saws, it easily powers my speaker system, 2 CD decks and a mixer, as well as a blender - perfect for a Sunday afternoon DJ party with frozen drinks! While I've only been using it for a little over a month, I can definitely say that it uses very little fuel, just as the manufacturer claims: when in Power Saving mode (which I just leave it in at all times) I have definitely gotten upwards of 14hrs of runtime on one tank.
great generator, great quality, great price June 12, 2007

I am and electrical engineer who researced portable generators for months before deciding which one to buy including the popular ones like Honda and Yamaha. This Kipor is a high quality unit, not like the cheap no-name brands that you see on eBay for $200. This generator gives no problems: it starts every time, is great on fuel economy, is relatively light and is relatively quiet. One note on "quiet" is that it is louder than a casual conversation (as all generators) but the smart throttle lets is idle very low for small loads. Parts are also easily available and I bought spare air filters and spark plugs to ensure years of trouble-free service.
I have powered my computer, lights and fan during a power outage without any problems and a 5 gallon gas container would keep it running for days! I have checked the output voltage with a CRO display and it is very close to sine wave as advertised, and allows dimmer lights to work!
The generator needs to be kept preferably outdoors due to the exhaust (as all generators), which is also fine because it keeps down the noise: I use mine with a 50-foot 12AWG extension cord. All-in-all this is a very good generator for almost half the price as a Honda. Hope this helps potential buyers.
 Kipor Bad Service..DO NOT BUY December 22, 2006

The 1000 Watt Sinemaster will blow the $200 circuit board if you approach 800 Watts...not even the 1000 Watt. There is no fuse/breaker...just a 5 second warning with a flashing light only...if you are watching it :-) Exciting products will not answer warranty claims. There is a very poor dealer network.You will be stuck witha $500 pile of junk. DO NOT BUY !!!!
EXCELLENT value for the money, purrs like a charm! December 22, 2006

I live in the British Virgin Islands where we have frequent outages. I use my generator often. It is GREAT. It's not very loud, I have it on my balcony in the fresh air and I am inside with the door open and playing a movie on the TV and I can hear the movie OK.
Even though I live in an apartment house, my neighbors have never complained about the noise. I tell them to come over, enjoy some light, fan and movies while the power is out and my Kipor is purring.
Other people are begging me to sell them my generator, and I have to keep it locked up so it doesn't grow legs and walk off. I keep telling folks to BUY A KIPOR. I will never sell mine, it's nice and lightweight and runs my office, TV, lights and fans, all the stuff I want when the power is out.
The manual is straight forward, READ IT. I took mine apart before starting it, to identify all the maintenance parts, like the air filter and so on.
It's cheap on gas and quiet and VERY LIGHT WEIGHT! It starts on one good pull. This is a great product, good value for the money!

Mine mysteriously shuts off on me.. runs for about 15 mins, then just stops and won't restart unless it sits.. fiddled with the oil, the air-cleaner, cleaned the fuel-filter, gapped the spark plug.. it runs smoother for 15 mins now, but still shuts off! Had to buy another one, can't figure it out..
Also, it's not as quiet as the Honda of the same size.. it is significantly louder for the first hour or so..
Had it for one year and one months, used once per week, a total of probably 300 to 400 hours.. if you get lucky and get one without this mystery-problem, I would say it's an okay unit.
