(More customer reviews)Okay, this is a pure sine wave generator. I use mine in Uganda, where we have power outages about every other day. I have the 240 v, 50 hz version. It's sooo quiet, not a nuisance at all, neither to me, nor the neighbors (who are only annoyed by the "envy" factor). Starts in 2 seconds with the electric start. Has a pull start as well, in case your battery goes dead. My battery needed replacing after 2 years; it will take quite a few different small batteries. I keep my Kipor outside, and it's good in bad weather. I use it for my home and for my power tools. It will handle any tool that pulls l5 amps at 120 v or less, but I have to cut out my fridge to make that happen. Other than that, it's good for the whole house, so long as I turn the water heater and electric stove off. Very energy efficient in the low power mode, and switches automatically to high power when the load increases.
Don't think of "pure sine wave" as a useless luxury. It's useful. You can't run your microwave without one. I had 3 fans burn out over a series of a couple of months when I was using an inverter that did not produce a pure sine wave. Almost everything runs a bit smoother on pure sine wave, and some things won't run at all.
It's a great buy. The low oil cut-off works (as I have discoved on 3 occasions). Just keeps on purring, month after month. I keep it outside and it resists the rainy tropical weather just fine. Mine just hit the two-year mark. Power has been on and off 5 times this week, and I'm once again glad to not give it a second thought. I notice that Kipor has some upgraded versions now; based on my experience, I would recommend both this generator and the Kipor name in general.
UPDATE: June 2010
Three more years of service, still running. Had a repair or two, nothing major that couldn't be fixed without any special Kipor parts. That's 5 years now, and though power outages are less frequent, it's still quiet and powerful. 'Nuff said.

Kipor Sinemaster digital inverter generators have a built-in computer monitoring the voltage and load constantly. They are a type of "Smart Generator". The voltage is constantly adjusted to maintain 120V by the computer inverter module. Kipor can automatically regulate the engine speed according to the load, so the fuel consumption of digital generator sets is 20%-40% lower than traditional sets, so the running time is therefore much longer as well. The noise level is further reduced at lower running speeds. Sinemaster digital inverter generators have a new two-tiered noise dampening system, so the noise emitted by these generators is 6-9 dB less than traditional generators. This translates to 4 to 8 times quieter than conventional generators. 1 year warranty for the used generator, we have a repair center and stock most of the parts.
