That's the exact thing I use my Duromax 2400 for. Propane only to top of my EcoFlows. Needed a bit more wattage than the Alp though because the Ecoflow units on fast charge suck down a ton of power.
@@rjakiel73 I dont like charging them at full power. I Charge my river Pro at 450, and my Bluetti charges at 350. So combined the 800w, to top them both off. When its not topping them off, it charges my ego batteries to use in my nexus power station. I can see why with ecoflows rapid charge, you would want the 2400w of the duromax!
I’ve always stayed away from propane. First is availability. Its always an “event” trying to get a cylinder filled anywhere and if you do the tank exchange you way over pay for a half filled tank. Also cold weather dependability of propane flow. I will say though this little generator has me enticed to try it. Great video. Thanks.
You did a really great job making this video. This generator make a lot of sense if you don't need a whole lot of power to run AC unit on RV. Looks good.
@@GeneratorReviews Hey Gavin. I put close to 3000 hours on my Predator 3500 running AC on RV here in Vegas area. I'm usually off grid and full time. Predators still runs. But problems like stater f a il. Ignition module fail. Cheap fixes, but still add up for high hour generator fix. So in your opinion, what is the best unit in the 3000-4000 watt range where a guy can run 1 AC unit on RV ? I never thought about propane fuel before, but it seems to make a lot of sense if you are running for hours on end, right ? Your recommendations appreciated Sir. Thank you.
@@jasonfrodoman1316 Hey Jason Since you are running off grid power most of the time and you probably have propane onboard your RV, you should definitely consider a dual fuel generator so you can connect it to the propane tank. One with a three year warranty would cover any mishaps or problems in that time. I would look at 4500w - 5500w, I don’t know your price budget but they’re not much more than the 3500.
Seems cool but i don’t like the hose and propane bottle hanging off the side. They should incorporate the 1lb bottle a little better so it feels like one unit. As always, excellent presentation.
The Baja 900 (aka Ryobi) did exactly that. Unfortunately, not all propane bottles have precisely the exact same threading and it was possible to strip out the threads rendering the whole thing useless. For this reason, I left the short hose attached full time to avoid problems.
Thank you. Very nice looking unit. I bet the same people that already have a 300 W solar generator, already have a 2300 W inverter, also will have one of these. I wonder how most are using this little guy. Probably just to power a projector, a fan , and a sound bar. Or Maybe just to charge electronic devices. I also heard from aI power to never run in eco mode if the load exceeds more than 50% of running watt rating. Also in parallel, the master unit should never be in eco mode, but the slave can be put on eco. Have you heard anything like this?
It has me thinking about getting the tri fuel valve thing for mine. Propane keeps a long time over needing to stabilize gasoline and deal with that mess.
Belive this would an outstanding unit only if integrated with solar charging option so that solar be primary and automatically switch to propane at night or when weather to cloudy for solar to keep up As it is camping or rving you always have propane available
I had this unit , unfortunately I had to send it back , mine was shutting down at 900w. I bought it to charge my camper batteries , and it could not do the job with a 40A 12V charger. But I loved the generator, great product, very uniques class, little on the loud side. To get 500W out of it was pretty loud
thanks for mentioning this. I was going to get the ALP, but after looking at reviews and videos of the champion 2000 duel fuel, I went and bought that today at homedepot for just around $500
I mean it's cool but there has been the Baja that is basically the same thing for a while and it goes on sale on the home Depots site for like $200-$230 if I recall correctly
Ok I mean I don't think that would make much of a difference in most situations but my point is he was acting like this is a brand new concept to market
@@james10739 Alp 22% more power. Eco mode. 2 plugs. USB plugs. DC out. Choke. Upgraded pull mechanism. Light. Starts easier. All around the ALP is a much better gen.
1 lb of propane = 21,500 BTU = 6300. At 25% load this generator produces 3 x 212W = 636 W with one pound of propane. About 10% efficiency converting propane energy to electrical energy. That's not really impressive to me. But, how does it do at full power? Are the results any better?
Question: Why is there a standard gasoline carb complete with float bowl on a 100% propane genset?? I'll bet if you look on that carb you'll find a gasoline inlet. It looks like a standard off the shelf electric throttle small engine inverter carb in the video with a propane "snorkle" between the air filter and carb inlet. Also, why does a propane unit need a choke at all? The primer button does that initial charge on propane regulators. Of course you should take the float bowl off to see if they just eliminated the float, needle, jet and emulsion tube, etc. or just maybe removed the gasoline parts and plugged the gasoline inlet and possibly the unused jet port. Also, look at the gas regulator (where the primer button is) to see of there is an adjustment for flow control for nat gas. If my suspicions are correct, based on observation in the video, this may have dual fuel (with possibly modified gas can gravity feed arrangement with shutoff valve sitting on top or nearby, higher than the carb inlet) or possibly a tri-fuel capability, if the propane regulator has a flow adjustment! Multiple fuel options are always desirable in case of shortages during a "dark winter". Dual or Tri-fuel capability would greatly enhance desirability of this unit
Almost every generator tri fuel, propane gas uses the same carburetor, it would just be too expensive to reinvent the carburetor and having that carburetor installed makes it easier if someone wants to add a gas kit
👍. Impressive video and generator. Just built a walk in generator room and converted my unit to propane/gasoline. I just may get this as a backup unit. What’s the sale price and where’s it made? That’s a deal breaker. No China products in this home.
I am considering a dual fuel 2200 watt inverter generator. I'm wondering what the usage might be for a standard refrigerator? How long a 20 lb tank would last?
Hey John, the 2200 should easily handle a full size refrigerator. It takes around 1200 watts to start then it drops down to 130-140 W running. The propane tank should easily last you over 24 hours . Thanks for watching. Thanks for subscribing.
Hey Gavin, With the 1000 watt ability off that propane generator I’m curious what MAN TOYS can i plug into it without it overloading Ie: Razor, iPhone, iPad, laptop, juicer, small fan, elec. drill, coffee maker, drone????? You get the picture, actually there are lots of volts, wattage and amp charts for all the things I listed above on the internet. Remember: VOLTS X BY AMPS = WATTS
Lol 😆 Like the term MAN TOYS!! The charts will help with the running watts its just the ones that require a larger starting watts that needs testing As always Stacy Thanks for watching buddy 😎
It's a nice enough little generator but $530 is way too much for only 850 watts. Under $400 is more realistic. I see this being a very niche generator for maybe tent camping so you can power some phone chargers and some LED lights and want the ability to use those small 1 pound propane tanks.
Be without power and you will change your mind! Lol I was thinking the same thing… but I thought ….. what if the power goes out, this would be a big help and plus I would be helping the company create new products! So I bought one 2 days ago and looking forward to its arrival…. I will buy the next one that they come out with! Just my 3 cents
If my math is right, this generator only produces ~3.8kWh for a 20 pound tank of propane. At around 18 dollars a 20 pound tank that works out to about $4.75 a kWh. This generator seems to be extremely inefficient. Another gas generator can produce nearly 17kWh of power with just 3.4 gallons of fuel which is going for about ~$12 and produce the power in 18 hours not 60 hours. Something seems very off here.
@@GeneratorReviews Awesome, also I'm not sure how useful such a tiny output is over that long of a time. It seems like any gas generator would be more useful.
Okay, so they state that the generator will run any refrigerator and guess who just happens to have one in his warehouse...I mean garage? I swear if they said it had enough power to start a B52 bomber, Gavin would have one to test it with. 🤣 Does that generator not use a regulator or is it built-in? I think the first thing to get misplaced will be that little cap over the gas nipple.
🤣🤣 you’re so right about the cap they should’ve probably attached it to the generator because that thing is going to get lost. Thanks for watching Tom! I always appreciate your comments
@@chrisanderson8553 sorry to ask a stupid question, but how do you do this? Never heard of it. Does a freezer have it too? Just bought a new freezer, just in case....looking for a small generator to keep it going...just in case. THis is when I wish I had been a girl scout.
@@dianacc456 mine has a switch. Some have a button. Some you can't. If you have a small freezer it may.not. and probably doesn't matter either. It's the big fridges and freezers where defrost uses a lot of power.
At 1000 Watts it could run for a long time but who uses the thousand watt generator it won't even power 1000 watt flood lamp right? This will work fine to charge your phone and your laptop
Thanks for watching Yank mcruff Yep you’re right about not being able to power a 1K flood lamp basically this small Generator are for camping and someone needing to run a refrigerator and small loads
I don't know why you would want a generator with such limited use. 1000W isn't much. Wouldn't even start up a decent size chop saw. Won't run a standard 1,500 watt heater. Propane is also a lot more expensive and less efficient than gas. That little $5 propane bottle your getting 3hrs runtime on will get expensive fast. On a $3 gallon of gas my 2200W Honda will run 8hrs. And will run the lights, fridge and AC in my RV.
Most campers like this Generators because when you hiking to the site you can carry it really lightweight and you don’t have to carry or store gas propane tanks make it easy to transport
@@GeneratorReviews Thanks...I never thought about carrying a generator and fuel along with all my other gear, sleeping bag and tent. What are you doing with it once you get out there? Does someone else also carry in the Frig?
@@Bwanar1 you obviously have not seen a bunch of the powered camping/boondocking/tailgating fridges that are 12v and on wheels. Bougerv, lion, iceco, etc.
@@chrisanderson8553 Well Chris, what seems obvious to you, is obviously not. I've seen and used a lot of 12V fridges. Not sure where that is going. They run fine off your truck batteries. I just did not see the connection with running a big fridge (not 12V) with a little propane generator. The cost is high and it has limited use. The OP said it was for back packing into camping spots, which even made less sense to me. Because someone else has to backpack in the Fridge. Who's carrying the rest of their gear? I'm just lost on this one. But I don't judge. If someone else likes it, more power to them brother!

Good find and good job. I’d be curious to see if (if possible) you could document the power loss due to using propane fuel in the cold.
Great idea 💡 I will run this test again in lower temperatures
Thanks for watching
The power loss from Propane over Gas is 27% to begin with.
@@Bwanar1 That may be true in larger automotive applications but with small hand carry gens, the reduction is only around 10%.
It's trade off though, long term storage you don't need to worry about stabilizing propane like you do with gasoline. 🤔
