Kipor IG6000 6000 Watt Inverter Generator

This is a new Kipor Sinemaster IG6000 (was called KGE6000Ti) Digital Inverter generator with electric start. It has dual voltage – 120V and 240V output on the 50AMP RV (on large motorhomes and 5th wheel) receptacle. This generator looks like the smaller KGE3500Ti but is bigger all around. You can start the engine like starting a car with the electric start. It is brand new in box and in stock ready to ship by freight service. This generator has the 50 AMP (fit most large motorhomes with adapter) and 30 AMP (120V) twist lock receptacle as well as two standard 20 Amp (120V) receptacles. It also has a 12V DC output (charging cord included). 2 years warranty, we have a repair center and stock most of the parts.

Bought the 6000IG to power my fifth wheel. When it was delivered the battery was dead and wouldnt take a charge... had to purchase a new one myself because kipor blammed the vender I bought it from, and the vender blammed kipor as it was kipor's product... I gave up and bought my own. Engine cranked when I put the knew battery in so not wanting to travel with a full tank of gasoline in my camper, off I went to go CAMPING. Once I got to the site and filled the tank, the engine fired right up, about a half hour later, the fuel shut off was dumping fuel inside the unit. I shut it down, packed it up and was without power the remainder of the week... WHAT A NIGHTMARE! Got back home tweeked a few things and everything thing seemed to be ok. The next time I needed the generator, I made sure it started before I left home, however, once again as soon as I got to my camp site, the generator would not start, another week without electric. ANOTHER NIGHTMARE!!! So now I am working with kipor to drop the nearly 300lb peice of junk off at a shop located over an hour away from home. In conclusion, I expected to have a unit comparable to the honda 6K generator, instead got one of China's finest peices of junk... -- GET A HONDA!!!
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 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. -- product ok amazon not so ok
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 ..... -- INVERTOR FAILURE
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.
