Kipor Sinemaster digital inverter generators have a built-in computer monitoring the voltage and load constantly. They are a type of "Smart Generator". The voltage is constantly adjusted to maintain 120V by the computer inverter module. Kipor 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. 2 years warranty, we have a repair center and stock most of the parts.

 great generator, quiet and reliable August 12, 2007

Okay, this is a pure sine wave generator. I use mine in Uganda, where we have power outages about every other day. I have the 240 v, 50 hz version. It's sooo quiet, not a nuisance at all, neither to me, nor the neighbors (who are only annoyed by the "envy" factor). Starts in 2 seconds with the electric start. Has a pull start as well, in case your battery goes dead. My battery needed replacing after 2 years; it will take quite a few different small batteries. I keep my Kipor outside, and it's good in bad weather. I use it for my home and for my power tools. It will handle any tool that pulls l5 amps at 120 v or less, but I have to cut out my fridge to make that happen. Other than that, it's good for the whole house, so long as I turn the water heater and electric stove off. Very energy efficient in the low power mode, and switches automatically to high power when the load increases.
Don't think of "pure sine wave" as a useless luxury. It's useful. You can't run your microwave without one. I had 3 fans burn out over a series of a couple of months when I was using an inverter that did not produce a pure sine wave. Almost everything runs a bit smoother on pure sine wave, and some things won't run at all.
It's a great buy. The low oil cut-off works (as I have discoved on 3 occasions). Just keeps on purring, month after month. I keep it outside and it resists the rainy tropical weather just fine. Mine just hit the two-year mark. Power has been on and off 5 times this week, and I'm once again glad to not give it a second thought. I notice that Kipor has some upgraded versions now; based on my experience, I would recommend both this generator and the Kipor name in general.
UPDATE: June 2010
Three more years of service, still running. Had a repair or two, nothing major that couldn't be fixed without any special Kipor parts. That's 5 years now, and though power outages are less frequent, it's still quiet and powerful. 'Nuff said.
Great generator!! April 26, 2007

This generator is quiet, reliable, and mine has started every time without much effort. I believe these are along the quality of Yamaha and Honda for about half the price. Would definitely buy another.
You can't go wrong with Kipor!!! February 10, 2010

About 4 years ago I bought the Kipor 3000TI. I had never heard of their product before, and did the best amount of research I could on the company. Turns out, they have been very big overseas for many years, and had just been brought to the US market. The original 3000 I bought was slightly different than the model here. Mine did not come with wheels and is shaped slightly differently. In my opinion, Honda makes the best products from vehicles, garden equipment (lawnmowers and weedwackers...etc.) jets, and many others. I contacted a Kipor retailer directly and quizzed him on the quality and history of Kipor products and he agreed Honda has an elite product, but Kipor has a top quality name overseas and he stood behind the product. I picked up the generator for $900. Free shipping. The only slight issue I have is I have to pull the chord 5-10 times to start it where a Honda doesn't take more than 2 pulls. The Kipor is extremely quiet. I use it to power a cabin and use it as a backup power supply for my home. (I'm looking outside at 4+ feet of snow and I'm not worried in the least bit.) My neighbor fires up his 10,000 watt diesel and you can feel the mountain shake and it sounds like a freight train. These Kipors are so quiet. They have some type of a small muffler system on them and my vacuum is louder. The ability to adjust the power setting depending on output (Smart Throttle) and usage saves so much gas! I believe mine has about a 3-4 gallon gas tank and will run on the lowest setting for around 10 hours. As they become more popular in the States, it seems their technology is changing and there are more options as to what you can do with them. (Daisy chain 2 together to double the output.) Since I bought mine, they have increased by $400. I would still buy another without any hesitation! Do your research before buying any product.

RECIVED ITEM PROMPTLY,SLIGHT DAMAGE TO BOX, HOWEVER THE INSIDE PACKAGEING IS EXCELANT,AFTER MINOR ASSEMBLY,I ADDED THE 20 oz. OIL, GAS AND IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY IT PURRS AT IDLE,AT FULL SPEED IT IS ONLY SLIGHTLY LOUDER, I GOT THIS TO OPERATE MY A/C ON MY CAMP TRAILER,THE INSTRUCTIONS CALL FOR FULL SPEED TO OPERATE AN A/C BUT THIS GENERAT0R WORKED IT EFFORTLESSLY ON IDLE. IT IS A VERY HIGH QUALITY UNIT,THE SIZE IS COMPACT ENOUGH, I WOULD SAY THE ONLY CONCERN YOU MIGHT HAVE IS THE WEIGHT. IT IS A LITTLE HEAVY FOR ONE PERSON TO LIFT, BUT TWO PEOPLE CAN EASLY LOAD IT INTO THE BACK OF A PKUP. ON THE GROUND ON A SMOOTH SERFACE IE; CONCRETE-ASPHALT-ECT IT MOVES EASYLY ENOUGH A CHILD CAN ROLL IT ALONG THIS IS IDENTICAL IN QUALITY TO SIMMILAR UNITS THAT COST TWICE AS MUCH YOU WILL NOT BE DISSIPONTED.ALSO ORDER THE COVER,IT IS EXCELLANT AND DIRT CHEAP FOR THE PROTECTION IT PROVIDES.
LOVE our Kipor IG3000 April 8, 2010

What else can I say that hasn't been said in the other reviews here. This generator's quality, craftmanship, performance is A-1 excellent. Ours is 2 1/2 years old, I've changed the oil to synthetic and it runs just like the 1st day we got it. We use it on our T@B trailer that has a 10,000 btu A/C, which it runs easily. Quiet is an understatement on this unit. I believe it is rated at 64db. Walk 30 feet away from a campsite, you have to stop and listen intently to hear it. It performs just like the Honda EU3000, at a much lower inital cost. At 132 lbs, it's not "light", but I can pick it up and load it into my Ford Ranger 4X4 myself. Excellent purchase, would buy any of Kipor's products if they are all of this quality.
Here is Kipor's spec and performace page:
