Power output: running and starting watts

The AIVOLT I-G1200C 1750W Inverter delivers 1,350 W continuously and up to 1,750 W for a few seconds to start motors. It handles 5 of the 14 loads on our typical list one at a time; add up the running watts of everything you run together, plus the extra starting watts of the biggest motor. As an inverter, it produces clean power suited to laptops, TVs and furnace control boards.

Runtime and fuel

The fuel tank holds 0.7 gallons of gasoline. The manufacturer quotes 7 hr at a quarter load. At half load, count on roughly 4 hr 25 min (our estimate from the quarter-load figure). That is about 0.15 gallon per hour at half load, or 4 gallons for a full day of running, so plan your fuel storage for a multi-day outage.

52 dB(A): how loud is it?

The manufacturer rates the AIVOLT I-G1200C 1750W Inverter at 52 dB(A), usually measured at 23 feet (7 m) and a light load. That is quieter than a normal conversation: suitable for campgrounds and close neighbors.

Outlets: home, RV and tools

Its panel offers outlets the manufacturer does not detail. It has no 240 V outlet: it runs plug-in appliances through extension cords, not hardwired circuits or a 240 V well pump.

5

Safety features and warranty

The manufacturer does not detail the start type. A CO shutoff sensor stops the engine if carbon monoxide builds up around it; it does not replace distance (20 feet from the house) and CO alarms indoors. It is listed as EPA compliant; check California availability if you live there. The warranty runs 2 years (residential use).

Typical price under $300: good value per watt?

Relative to its running watts, the AIVOLT I-G1200C 1750W Inverter scores 6.3/10 on value: an average result. Inverters always cost more per watt than open frames: compare it with other inverters. Generator prices on Amazon move a lot, especially before hurricane season: check the current price before you buy.
