Make the Most of Your Electric Power with Power Saving Generators
You’ll never know when you may need extra supplies of energy for your appliances or trailers. In times of emergencies, it’s helpful to know how state-of-the-art generators are developed to ensure you’ll have sufficient amounts of electricity. To fully have the assurance of lesser power interruptions, you will also need to have an electrical service on stand-by. By wisely choosing your provider, you can have an all in one, go-to electrician to secure your power source.
It’s worthwhile to have a residential generator, so you will also be fully, power backed in times of emergencies. With a well-chosen unit, you can still power up your heating installation, household appliances and most importantly, your security systems.

You may have heard of Kipor; they’re global brand that make not only generators of many sizes but other construction machinery and engines. This article focuses on their portable range of inverter generators which come out of China and are distributed here by Companion Brands Australia. From our research, some of the other types of Kipor generators available in Australia are some small 3 Phase Diesel units and a few open frame conventional gensets.
Generally Kipor generators are sold as the cheaper option to the big premium brands, like Honda or Yamaha generators. Like their budget-friendly mates such as Lectron, Engel, Hyundai or many other eBay gensets, Kipor generators are made in China, where the manufacturer’s website boasts “a strong research and development team, a high energy management team and a state of the art production facility”.
Warranty, Servicing and Repair
You get a two-year warranty with Kipor generators, as you do with some other budget options like Hyundai. Compare this to a premium brand like Yamaha or Honda, which gives you a solid 48-month warranty, and it’s easy to see where the difference is.
When it comes to service and repairs, you can contact the Companion Brands Warranty & Service Dept on 1300 555 197 for details on approved Kipor Service agents in Australia. Without providing the number of agents, they confirm there is a strong representation around the country – that’s pretty good; many of the cheaper Chinese made options will have only a very limited service agent presence, which can be a problem when there is a warranty or repair requirement. So Kipor gets a tick here.
Noise
Kipor states that, because the engine is fully encased, noise levels and emissions on its inverter generators are kept to a minimum. In fact they go so far as to say that operation is “super quiet”. However, the noise level is actually between 63–72dBA for the 2600w generator. Compare that to 52 decibels for the Yamaha 2000w or 2400w inverter generators. Even the Lectron range run at around 58 decibels.
Again, The Kipor 1000w generator hits up to 59 dBA compared to the super-quiet 50 decibels for the Yamaha 1000w inverter generator. It’s worth noting that a change in 10 decibels means 10 x the noise level difference!
Fuel economy
Like most other inverter generators, The “Kipor SERIES 2 digital inverter” series include a ‘Smart Throttle‘ to optimize fuel economy and improve efficiency. This feature adjusts the engine speed to match the load demand, providing stable power.
So how do they compete? Taking a select of three models in the range, it’s a mixed result all up:
The Kipor 2000w generator has a fuel tank capacity of 3.5 litres and can run for 3.5 hours at full load. But the Yamaha EF2000iS has a 4.4-litre fuel tank so you don’t have refuel as often and it runs for 45 minutes longer than the Kipor. With the Lectron 2000w, you get 4.5 hour run time from its 4.5 litre fuel tank.
On the smaller scale generators, the Kipor 1000w generator has a fuel tank capacity of 2.6 litres and will run continuously for 4 hours which is around an hour longer than the Yamaha 1000w generator.
Looking at the Kipor 3000w model, it has an impressive 13 Litre fuel tank and a run time of around 6 hours at the rate output – this is very similar to the Yamaha EF3000iSE.
Weight
The Kipor generators are pretty hefty for their size. Looking at other comparable sized premium or budget options, they are generally a few kilos heavier in most of the models in the range.
Their 2000w generator weighs 23 kilograms, compared to just 20 kilograms for the Yamaha EF2000iS and 19 kilograms for the Lectron EC2000i.
The Kipor 1000w is pretty lightweight at only 14 kilograms but again it’s a bit heavier than the Yamaha EF1000iS Inverter Generator at 12.7 kilograms. And trust us, every kilogram counts when you’re carrying your generator from place to place!
Starting
The Kipor generators come with a recoil starter, like their counterparts. In some of the “Kipor product reviews” comments in certain forums there were references to trouble starting them, but we tested a few of the models and found no issues.
Price
This is where a large part of the focus should be when you’re considering a budget brand generator. And from what we can see, Kipor has some work to do. The 1000-watt model has a price tag of around $700-$800, the 2000-watt model will set you back around $1,100 and the 3000w is anywhere up to $1,800 (its worth noting here the Lectron 3500 w generator retails for around $899). So they’re more expensive than the Lectron equivalents, and only slightly cheaper than the Yamahas, yet not offering premium features.
There are many more generator units which can serve your electricity requirements, depending on which appliances and purposes they’d be applicable. Upon wisely choosing your equipment, it would also be necessary for you to have an all in one electrical service on stand-by. Fail Safe Electric Co. can effectively provide you with inexpensive solutions so your electric systems could be fully functional.
