We received our Kipor IG6000 6000 Watt Inverter Generator
a week ago. My husband got it ready to start, wrong! It wouldn’t start the battery was DEAD. So he TRIED to charge it, but it wouldn’t charge. Naturally, we are ready to use it, so we decide to PURCHASE a new batter, which cost $72. Add that to the cost! Well, we get it running, so off we are for a wonderful weekend, this is to run a large RV, Right? Well, we have a great start, off goes our switch to over load, but the Generator is still running, how about that. This happened several time. We call the Kipor for assistance, but according to Number we Called (450)441-2707, we were told that this was not a 6000 Watt Generator. Wow! She said that Amazon was not correct on the ad. OMG! NOT TRUE! RIGHT! Well, she did advice us to go to a Kipor rep. and they might be able to help. We are looking to travel, at least 4 hours to do this. Well, we are here with a unit that overloads, mind you 6000 Watt (as posted) and a Dead Battery, Oh! we can’t forget the tires that are falling apart! I have learned an expensive lesson, which I am not giving up just yet. So if anyone knows where I might get some assistance with this problem, please help! Hope this helps all who are planning to purchase this Kipor IG6000 6000 Watt Inverter Generator.

PURCHASED KIPOR6000 USED LESS THAN TEN HOURS, WAS A BACKUP UNIT. WAS MANUFACTUERED IN 2006. WHEN I GOT IT LAST FALL EVERYTHING WORKED GREAT, PUT IT AWAY FOR THE WINTER. SPRING STARTUP-RED OVERLOAD LITE BLINKING=NO AC… HAD A HORRIBLE TIME GETTING HELP AND A DIAGNOSIS SO ON THE WEB I GO TO COMPILE INFO AND SERV/REPAIR MANUALS TO FIGURE THIS THING OUT. GOOD DIAGNOSIS MATERIALS. PROVED OUT THAT THE INVERTOR HAD FAILED SITTING OVER WINTER. A HUGE SOLID STATE $1,300 UNIT. WAS SHOCKED AT THE REPAIR COST AND THE FACT THAT NOW I FIND THAT THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON A FAILURE WITH THIS UNIT. POSSIBLY A COLD TEMP RELATED FAILURE?
KIPOR WOULD DO NOTHING AS TO WARRANTY. [SECOND OWNWER THING].
THE NEW INVERTOR LOOKS LIKE A REDESIGN, SURE HOPE THIS AN UPDATE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IF I HAD TO DO IT OVER KNOWING THE INVERTOR PROBLEM, NO WAY I WOULD BY THIS CHINA SPECIAL. WAS A POOR INVESTMENT FOR SURE.!!!! ENDED UP BEING A THROW AWAY UNIT …..

purchased this product online to save 150.00 when the item arrived the battery was dead. no problem put it on charge and it will be ok. wrong battery would not take a charge. this item must have been sitting in a warehouse forever and no quality control was ever considered about looking into this. then after that problem was fixed the fuel filter on it kept clogging. there was setiment in the tank but the filter itself was just to fine for a fuel filter. after replacing the filter with a generic inline fuel filter and replacing the battery the genset itself worked good. take this revie for what its worth i will never order anything this big offline again i will pay the extra 150 to buy at a local dealer that way someone is close by to take care of the problems instead of having to do it myself.

I’ve owned my Kipor 6000 watt generator for over a year now and have used it extensively 5 times running over 100 hours each of the 5 uses. Its not perfect. It is hard to start even after running for hours. I’m sure its a carb setting, but I haven’t taken it in to be serviced. I use it to power my 5th wheel RV (with 50 amp service and two 15k ac units) at the NASCAR races. In the summer months, it runs from the time we arrive, until we leave; with the exception of refueling.
Its a work horse. The only time we throw a generator breaker is when the wife forgets to turn an AC off prior to using the microwave. Let me talk about Kipor customer service. I’ve had two chances to contact Kipor customer service. Both times they were very helpful and supportive. All four original wheels had to be replaced the first 6 months or so. The generator was just too heavy for the original wheels and the bearings and tread separated from the wheel. Second time, the gas gauge stopped working and the lens fogged up to where the needle could not be seen. In both instances, they quickly shipped replacement parts. I like this generator.
