Adventure Kings Enclosed 2.0 kVA Inverter Generator

P*ssed off! You sold me a 2kva gen to run a RV air con, TOO SMALL & now refusing to refund, will not Be recommending Kings to anyone

Bought ours 12months ago after the Christmas blackouts, but have not used apart from starting and letting run for a maintenance run. Well along came cyclone Alfred and we lost power for about 4 days. Very impressed with the unit, it didn't miss a beat. We had fridge/freezer plus another freezer running off it, plus NBN, plus 2 tvs, and of course… Read more ·  1

could charge all our devices. We cruised through the blackouts. Was also impressed at the level of noise, I had thought it would be noisier than it was.

2kva Off Grid Generator near Darwin NT Australia – Great generator. Had this for 5 years. Never missed a beat. Will buy another if it dies. Highly recommend! Show details ·  1

Awesome value for money – This is an awesome little generator. We use it when our power goes out often for days at a time. It will sit unused for a couple of years and then start first pull. It’s powerful enough to run our water pump, fridge and tv all together. I’m constantly impressed at how good it is for the price. Show details ·  1

Will NOT start at all – purchased 3 days ago, will NOT start after following all instructions.Waiting to hear from company. Show details

Great for me as a first timer off grid camper – had a solar set up and this for back up. also to run a few small appliances (not at the same time). had multiple rain days which it fully charged my batteries and kept my small appliances running of 1 tank of fuel (7ish hours of running) nice and quite at a small distance for a great price. Show details ·  1

Don’t buy – Bought 2.2kw inverter generator October 2022. All start up procedures done, primed the carburettor, pull the recoil cord about 50 times won’t start. Tried this about 3 times now have given up. changed spark plug Thought it might be dodgy still no success. Just crap. Show details

Happy with the machine but not so much with the company admin – Registered with the company. Bought the generator via phone at call centre. Subsequently received the welcome gift voucher. Did not realise I could have used it for this first purchase. Really should have been told about it at the time or asked about it. Sent an email requesting clarification. Did not get any response. Followed up with… Read more ·  1

phone enquiry. Too bad how sad, should have mentioned it at time of purchase. Leaves a bit of bad taste in mouth. Let's hope I don't have any warranty problems in the future if that's how customer service is managed. Just a warning out there to ask more questions. Regards cb

Does what it should – Ordered the generator Sunday and it arrived 6 working days later. Purchased it to use with our caravan, mostly to charge the batteries when needed and to run the microwave. I have filled it with oil and fuel and test run it in the garage with a bench grinder, bench drill and 3 fans all running at once. It is quieter than expected and easy to start. To me it is just what I was after. Thank you. Show details ·  1

Pretty happy – Only had it for a couple of weeks a find it performs really well However I'm a bit concerned that it seems to have a miss when it's idling ( I am running the right fuel ) Good value for money and no problems with output Show details ·  1

Very surprised – Pros- Cannot get over how good this Gen is-it’s so quiet l can use it anywhere- starts 1st go very time- light weight & compact making it easy for storage in gen box- Cons- small fuel tank & does smell like fuel Vaper excapes from somewhere- I just fume proofed my gen box- easy fix ——but hay for $520- l can live with that Would recommend to my friends with out a doubt- Repco sell the same thing for $645- Show details ·  1

Crap generator – Biggest piece of crap ever , had a dodgy spark plug from new and has never started properly, always needs start ya fool to even get a cough from it , DO NOT BUY , DO NT RECCOMEND AT ALL

Adventure Kings 2.2kW Inverter generator – I bought this unit secondhand which hadn't been used a lot as it's exterior showed. The red dust on it, suggests it had been in the red center. It hadn't been used for more than 10 hours the seller said. Checking the engine oil level and color, the cleanliness of the air filter confirmed that. What I discovered once home was it didn't have a 12V… Read more ·  1

or 5V USB socket but that is of no value to our usage anyway. It starts easily, runs very quietly on economy setting. At 19Kg it's half the weight of our 3.5kW Gentrax. I really like this unit and expect it to work flawlessly when regularly serviced and not overloaded. So far I'm impressed!

Handy little inverter/generator – I purchased this Adventure Kings 2.0 kva portable generator and I am impressed. The inverter is quite light to move around (compared to other generators) and runs very quiet in idle mode and reasonable under load. I did break in the generator first before putting it to full use. Only negative I found changing oil a bit awkward, easy to spill oil when tilting machine. Show details ·  5

kings 2kva generator noisey gutless piece of crap – wish i had never seen it the most useless under powerd gutless gen set ive ever used and way to noisey cant even run a caravan can only run one aplliance at a time Show details

Literally saved our trip – We were fishing for 8 days, deep freezer and fridges, phones and laptop. I purchased this generator as a backup for my first trip to Yalata back in 2018. I’d run it a few times for a day or two. My mate has a Honda, Honda’s are a great little generator don’t get me wrong but like everything they do need a little tlc or a service once every now and… Read more ·  1

then. I asked if he had run the generator since he used it last year? Nope! It’s a Honda! he stated, well on the third pull BANG the ripcord snapped and recoiled back into its housing. We’re in the middle of Absolute nowhere with limited tools and no way of fixing THAT! I grabbed my Kings generator “which I do service” I whacked some petrol in her and first pull she was away. I mean first pull! Now I was thinking if she was going to last the 8 day journey and yes we did have one issue on around day 5. It shut down overnight, I got up in the morning to put more petrol in her and fired it back up, it seemed bogged down and the overload light was on. I always restart the generator with no load on it and then bring the load on after she’s up and running. So it wasn’t like there was any load on it so I thought it must be a dirty filter? Checked that! nope! it was clean and not clogged up, next thing spark plug, removed that, nope it looked in good nick too, I made a coffee and thought this could really be trouble if I can’t get this up and running, it was running fine the day before. The only thing I haven’t checked yet was the spark arrestor, so I checked that out and it looked ok but I thought I’d take it off anyway for a better look and held it up to the sun and I couldn’t see through it. I just thought I’d give it a try without it on and first pull again she was up and running like new. I left the spark arrestor off for the remainder of the trip and burnt the carbon off it when I got home. The other thing I like about this generator is how accessible it is to work on compared to the Honda’s.

Great little generator for the price – *Update* Have now had this for a number of weeks and it hasn't missed a beat, ran vac, tv, laptop, chargers at same time....turned up vac to full pwr 2000w and it cut out, Gen good to 1700 w. Product doing as it is advertised. Happy with it. Received approx 3 weeks ago, it started first go, have been running it constantly since and it hasn't… Read more ·  1

missed a beat. The fuel on/off came loose but easy fixed, it does give off a bit more fumes than other expensive brands however not a major issue. The noise level with economy on or off very good. Recommend for the price, what it does along with the service. Happy with the product so far and price. (Included cover)

Do not buy this Chinese – Does not start. Does not work it is a piece of junk Chinese product. Didn't work when I brought it wouldn't buy something so cheap again king really knows how to sell cheaply bad products. Show details

Amazing for the price – Full disclosure here, I bought this generator 2nd hand for $300.....Bargain. It started no problem as the seller assured me. Took it camping a week later and when a mates Honda generator ran out of fuel I offered to run mine as to give it a good test. About 15 minutes into running the camp site with toasters and coffee making going on it started… Read more ·  1

to surge, we all thought this was related to the draw on the motor. So after switching all electric motors off it quickly became apparent that I had issues. Long story short was that the previous owner had filled the thing with premium fuel and this was the problem. Anyway we topped the tank up the 91 ulp and she ran like magic. So after 20 blokes originally took of my purchase they quickly became shocked as we could field test it directly against the Honda. So it turned out the Kings was the quietest and lightest out of the two. Which stunned all of us. The end result being I know of a few gentlemen were off to Kings to buy the same unit at a fraction of the price when placed against the Honda. We'll done Kings!

Don't be afraid of the cheap price – I brought my Kings 2kva inverter generator brand new but secon-hand off the originsl purchaser. I added oil and fuel and it started first pull. Starts easy. Runs pretty quietly. I only needed it as a back up to charge our van batteries in situations where solar couldn't handle the job if the weather was a bit crappy. Works a treat. I like most… Read more ·  1

people worried that these might be rubbish given the main popular name brand generators were 6 times the price. But these aren't rubbish generators at all. Ours does the job we wanted it to do nicely. Glad I got past that barrier of doubt that the cheap price seems to put in peoples minds.

Kings 2kva generator – About 3 years ago I purchaced a kings 2kva generator. This generator became a crucial part of our camp set up, using it for charging camera gear, running computers for video and photo dumping and during the cooler months running a small fan heater to heat our annex during winter storms or fire bans. Although it is significantly louder but not… Read more

over bearing or to a point where it would become annoying (just move it further away and/or put it on the other side of your car) then its competitors it has no issues running a 2kw heater and for the price it's hard to argue with. I did however have an issue with the original unit. The unit would stop running at random but frequent intervals. This was hard to replicate but 4wd supercenter paid for the return of the unit and after a period of time testing the defective unit replaced the generator free of charge and without hassle. I am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" but also believe there are some items that dont need to be the top of the line and most expensive for the person who only goes away once a month for a weekend and my kings 2kva generator is a prime example of this. When it's used it gets used to it's full capacity but this isnt every weekend or every weekday for site works. Overall I am happy with the value I get from my kings generator and I will continue to reccomend it to any of my friends who are in the same scenario as myself.
