  • It runs my entire camper with A/C.... after a modification
Style: Craftsman 2500i Inverter 50 St/CSA Pattern Name: Generator
So bought this knowing it is made by Generac. Can't go wrong. Got a really good deal here on Amazon $500. Not bad, caught it on sale. Got it in 2 days, great. Added the oil and did a couple hour break in with no load. Ran great and very quiet. Plugged in my camper with a 13,00 btu A/C. With nothing else running tried to start the A/C, no luck. Immediately cut out and went into fault. So it won't start my A/C. I did not have a soft start at this time. So I ordered a soft start which I was going to get any way, but I wanted to see if this would run it without. Nope. Not surprising, but a little bit of a bummer. Installed the soft start and tried again. No luck, WTF. After doing some research come to find out it is always in "eco" mode. The Honda, Generac, and Harbor freight generators have a switch to turn it off, not the Craftsman. So after contacting Generac and getting the wiring schematics for the Generac and the Craftsman (Generac customer service is awesome by the way), I figured out how to run a switch to turn off the "eco" mode. The wiring is literally all hooked up inside, all I had to do was cut the harness, solder in a switch, and mount the switch. I Put it back together and tried it out and sure enough I was able to turn off eco mode so that the RPM's are higher when the load of the A/C kicks in. Hooked the camper back up and I had A/C in the camper being ran by the generator. The generator was quite a bit louder with the A/C running though. Not a big deal for me because I will only be using it during the day where we camp and not during quiet hours. It will now start and run the entire camper while charging the batteries back up. I am very happy with this now after the modification. It is stupid that this doesn't have the switch already installed especially since everything is already there to install one. I also installed an hour meter to keep track of running hours for maintenance. I really don't know why they don't already have that too, but whatever. I paid $10 for the hour meter and switch. It took a couple hours to install both. I ran it this past weekend camping for 25 hours on 5 gallons of gas running the A/C and charging the group 29 battery the entire time. It is a little louder than I'd like it to be, but I really have nothing to compare it to since this is my first suitcase type generator. I'm sure the Honda and Harbor Freight are quieter, but for what I paid for this I'm not mad, and knowing it is a Generac makes me at ease. So buy it if you are on the fence. ... show more

Style: Craftsman 2500i Inverter 50 St/CSA Pattern Name: Generator
This thing is awesome. It makes Honda look like 1st grade. This is a replacement for the Honda someone stole. It is a little heavier, but worth it. The power this thing puts out made me realize the Eu2200i is not even close to 2000watts. I had my suspicions when it did not run things it should have. THIS ONE WILL! I live off grid. My beginner solar system will not run my washer and dryer ( a 1.6 liter, one step unit). So I use this! It will not power electronics! I did not even try. I know from school that this a/c is all over the place. If you need to power electronics get a Bluetti ( or something equivalent ), I use an a/c200max. ... show more

  • Quiet and portable
Style: Craftsman 2500i Inverter 50 St/CSA Pattern Name: Generator
I would like to start out by saying, I have not used this item for an extended period of time. So far, it does what it is supposed to and is the perfect size item for backup power or the jobsite. Pros: Lightweight/Portable; QUIET!; Easy to start; easy to use; flexible in outlet types/configurations; easy to store; provides consistent power to devices - quickly adjusts throttle to adapt to startup power loads. Funnel and oil provided. Battery charging cables included. Cons: Adding oil is tricky, but easy. You have to unscrew the side housing and fill it. The oil filler angle is also unusual, so spillage is almost a given filling the engine up with oil. I wish they would have provided Synthetic oil instead of conventional. Synthetic has the ability to run under a broad array of temperature conditions. I will likely switch to synthetic after the 1st oil change. It is made by Generac, which is a brand leader in generators. Craftsman just put their name on it - which is okay. I like the red color - and the form factor is nice! Overall, if you are looking for a small generator for camping, backup power, power tool support when not able to connect to the grid or other light duty electric devices, this is the ticket. I own a larger generator for a vacation property and it is heavy, loud, and not easy to transport. This is a great, quick power solution for when the lights go out during a storm to keep the furnace running, a few lights on, and my Fridge/Freezer avoiding food spoilage. ... show more

  • Works great
Style: Craftsman 2500i Inverter 50 St/CSA Pattern Name: Generator
When we bought it and first used it, it would not stay running. We realized having the gas cap tight was causing a vapor lock and it would shut down. Now we just leave the cap a little loose and it works great!

  • Quiet, compact, reliable

Great for camping, we use it for the race track, has phone charging outlets right on it. Starts first pull and it is very quiet. It is not light in weight, but runs about 9 hrs on a full tank of fuel. Good price and came right on time.

Would not recommend this product. The generator would not stay running for more than 30 sec. Called Craftsman and took it to their recommended warranty tech. After a 3 hr diagnostic, technician stated that it was a problem with the carburetor design creating an air leak. He recommended returning the generator and buying a different model altogether. The one bright spot was that Amazon was very understanding and quick with the return ... show more
