Böhmer-AG i-2500W Inverter Generator

I love this genny. It's an inverter generator, so has a pure sine wave for when I need it for electronic equipment. The generator is 2000w continous rated despite the name of the unit. "2500w" is a model number as far as I can see, not 2500 Watts output power. 🤣 I have a mighty atom gutter vac and this generator powers it up. Took a bit for me to figure out how to do it. The generator has an overload current protection device that kicks in if the load current applied to the onboard sockets are to high for the generator. When starting my mighty atom vac, 1600w continous and 2400w on startup generally, the generator trips out if the generator is running, vac is plugged in and then turned on at the vac switch. It doesn't like turning the vacuum on and off on the vacuum on/off switch due to to much starting current. It does start perfectly however if the vac is plugged in and turned on, AND then the generator is started. The generator overload device, on generator startup specifically, is slightly more forgiving and accepting of an increased starting current. Your mileage may vary. Oh and watch the oil when filling the engine initially. I put exactly the specified correct measure of oil in and it overflowed. Just fill until the lower cap threads are getting covered in oil. Have fun. 🙂

Arrived quickly, well packaged and no damage. Filling with oil made easy by the thoughtfully supplied angled funnel. It runs power tools easily but my wet-vac rated at 1250W start and 1150 running makes it work at near capacity. Starts easily from cold but if the overload protection cut-out activated the only reset is to stop and attempt restart. The rather vague handbook says choke not needed when warm (as you'd expect) but it will not restart without using a combination of full or part choke. Opening the carb throttle butterfly also helps. I tried to check the spark plug but some Chinese robot had whammed it in so tight all efforts only bent the provided plug spanner. The best thing about this generator is it's light weight and it's only noisy when working hard. If you don't need more than 1500W this is the machine for you!

Left over the winter, item would not start. Referred to the manual and cleared the fuel system. Replace the fuel still unable to start. Supplier will not answer my requests for advise. Still under manufacturer's warranty. Will need to take it for repair it my cost. At moment it's like having a chocolate ash tray on motorbike. LOL. After many hours all that was left to do was replace the fuel pipes. Replace the cheap fuel pipes with quality clear fuel pipes at last hope and after all this it started, months of worry and no help at all. Hope this helps people that have the same Problem with very little cost.

First of all, a thing to note is that it tries to look like a German engineered product, it's not it's Chinese. However as so many things these days are badge engineered products in a sense it does not matter. (Badge engineering is where a company makes a product that other companies attach labels and market as their own, the original manufacturer name is hidden) It's not the lightest of equipment especially when the tank is full (10 Litres), so although it's portable don't consider carrying it by hand for long distances. It feels robust, the frame into which everything is mounted feels tough and not skimped on. The power output is smooth and it handles power tools well. In Eco mode, when little power is drawn the engine runs at low revs and winds up the speed when something plugged in need power saving on fuel (and noise). The Inverter output gives a voltage and frequency that any power sensitive device will be happy with. The 2 output sockets are handy, many generators of this size have only one. Starting is easy, the engine starts well in cold conditions and the manual choke lever is easy to access and it takes very little time for after startup before you can push the choke lever back to normal, so you are not hanging about over the engine waiting for it to warm up before being able to leave it to get on with its job. Running noise. It's rather noisy so it's not really suitable for holiday camping or running with other people close by. Suitcase generators are quieter but more expensive if you need a generator for camping/caravan use. Use as a building site generator will be fine or if for example you want it as s standby power source for your home in power blackouts and live in a rural setting not too close to others. Overall I am very happy with the product, it's too early to say how well it will operate when it's got a few hundred hours of runtime, only time will tell, but signs are it should be good. Last point, read the manual about service intervals, its first interval is after only 5hrs which is less than the total run time from a full tank. I serviced mine at 5 hrs and the oil was black and a bit gritty as you would expect as the engine runs in. The second service at 20hrs there was no grit so to get the best engine life do the service as suggested in the manual not after its run out of fuel on the first fill up!

El producto cumple con mis espectativas y funciona de maravilla. El voltage es correcto y estable de onda sinusoidal y no vibra nada. Lo recomendaria sin duda.

Läuft sehr gut, ist allerdings doch sehr laut. Zu beachten ist, das die Einschaltströme abgeschlossener Geräte auch nicht die max. Leistung übersteigen darf. Unsere Pumpe mit 1800W läuft nicht an. Aber unser Seewasseraquarium inkl. Beleuchtung, Computer und allen Pumpen (600l) läuft mit satter Reserve. Also für unsere Zwecke perfekt. Als Notstromaggregat. Ist auch schon zweimal zum Einsatz gekommen. Davon einmal über 2h Sind zufrieden.

Ho acquistato il generatore AG i2500W nel caso le attuali nevicate facciano mancare la corrente. La qualità sembra buona e l'avviamento semplice. Finora ho solo fatto il rodaggio per procedere alla prima sostituzione programmata dell'olio lubrificante. L'unico difetto a cui prestare attenzione (come già segnalato in altre recensioni) è procedere immediatamente alla sostituzione del tubetto del carburante, che anche a me è arrivato già rotto: i 10cm di tubetto costano pochissimo, è solo la seccatura di doverlo fare. In generale, il generatore è abbastanza silenzioso e leggero, per cui ne consiglio l'acquisto.

Livraison rapide Article de qualité très silencieux Marche très bien À recommander

Come già visto su altre recensioni c'è qualche difficoltà nel riavvio a caldo ma col trucchetto di dare un tiro con lo starter inserito e subito dopo un tiro senza starter parte bene. Conviene farlo girare qualche minuto a vuoto perchè inserendo subito il carico potrebbe spegnersi perchè freddo. Nel complesso molto buono, rumorosità non fastidiosa e vibrazioni contenute per un monocilindrico. CONSIGLIATO per l'ottimo rapporto prezzo/qualità di un generatore INVERTER. Tensione in uscita 231V molto stabile. Comprate una spina inglese seria e non gli adattatori per i telefonini!!!
