AIVOLT 3300W Petrol Inverter Generator, Silent Portable for Camping, Home

I bought this for several tasks, and it excels at all of them, it connects to my off grid hybrid solar inverter to supply back up power when the power is out, it is also great to supply off grid power to my campervan, but what I needed this generator to do the most, is to give me an emergency option to charge my EV campervan when off grid, I can confirm this charges my LDV EV80 Van, I had to set my charger to 10 amps but it did charge my van. So I'm very Happy,I'm also considering buying a second to parallel them to give me 5500 watts continuous power.The negative point is that the instructions state there is supplied oil, this was not the case, I did not knock a star as I would of used only good quality oil and thrown the supplied oil.All I had to do was add oil and unleaded petrol, and it started first pull of the cord.

Excellent product. I purchased the generator to power my house during outages, and it manages the task effortlessly. I was running the lights, heating, television , computer, fridge-freezer, etc. at the time the machine was putting out 800 watts on the ECO setting so plenty left in reserve.Quite light in weight and not to much noise. I have to agree with everything the seller says about the product.

….by leaving the E10 fuel in the tank for 6 months (go stale/moisture gunge clogging the carburettor jets?), but apparently not!I’m writing this having been running the generator for 6 hours (over 2 sessions) today, following getting it going again yesterday.I got this for winter use to power a fan heater in my man cave shed and charge the (otherwise solar panel fed) lithium battery power stations.It’s in my garage next door, with exhaust vented via wall to outside.(Most parts bought via Amazon)Having not used it since February, a couple of weeks ago I got it to start and run, but it spluttered and stalled, then would not start at all. 😟I checked the oil level, drained the tank & carburettor (which would have a been a major job to remove because the air filter box is in the way with no obvious bolts to get at that), squirted ‘Easy Start’ (choke on)into the carburettor inlet (via ‘rubber’ manifold) then immediately choke off and in Run position) it started with 2 pulls and fired up briefly.I then put a couple of litres of ‘Aspen’ fuel in the tank, drained a little via the Carb, and with 1 pull it started and kept going sweetly!Not entirely sure what the cure was, but possibly me being a dummy by inadvertently turning the petrol cap breather to ‘off’, thereby starving it of fuel? 🙄Anyway, so far, apart from my possibly idiocy, it’s brilliant. 👍🙏I’m probably going to start using ‘super’ grade petrol for the next fill.(‘Aspen’ or equivalent is VERY expensive and as a non-professional user, I can’t yet justify the ongoing no cost)Highly recommended!UPDATES- January 2026:Still going strong having been run for around 40 hours total, typically at loads of half or less of rated maximum, for between 2 and 4 hours1) At the installation (my garage) I’ve added intake air vents at the opposite end to the generator and an Extractor Fan that’s above the generator and powered by it when it’s running.(The generator has an integrated CO gas monitor, which will automatically initiate shut down - apparently my piped exhaust is not perfect with there being some unavoidable leakage.)2) The automatic ‘low oil’ sensor has once caused shut-down, although I had to guess that was the cause, but a quick oil fill/top up allowed restart.3) Starting from cold seems to be generally getting more difficult (more pulls and fiddling with position of choke knob needed) so I’ve bought a replacement Spark Plug, but not fitted yet.

Nice unitStarts wellBut they sell as quite slightly noisy more than a Clarke but so far a good product

Super quiet and easy to start

Very very noisy. Quiet is a work of fiction.

Aivolt 3300 watt generator.I've only had the generator for a few days.I've ran it for 5 hours so now it's due for its oil change after the break in period.First impressions. It does what it says on the tin. Runs smooth and not too noisy. I've used various corded electric tools and it's worked perfectly.I will change the spark plug for a better NGK spark plug when change the oil.I can't find anywhere where you can buy an official AIVOLT replacement air filter should I ever need to change it sometime in the future.

Excellent piece of equipment. Have had for 7 months now and have used for 25 hours and have been very impressed. Very low fuel consumption, portable and easy to start.Can’t comment on how it would cope with ‘heavy’ continuous use but for what I need it for it has been fantastic. Would highly recommend.
