Here is where you can find this generator : www.homedepot....
Don't forget to check out my Amazon store for many detailing products and supplies that I recommend. Here is the link: www.amazon.com...
We have used the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!
Just got mine. 62 year old petite lady. First pull. So excited. Thank you for this video
Awesome! It’s a great little unit
I’m 89, hope it works for me too 🙏
I've had this for over a year and I love it! No issues. It even fits in the trunk of my Mustang!
That’s great to hear!
Brian, you are a great salesman. I watched your review of the Adams 2.0 Pressure Washer and decided to purchase one and now you got me thinking about adding this Ryobi Generator to my list of tools. Great review.
Thanks! I’ve always been told I would be a great salesman so I guess you just confirmed it. Enjoy the pressure washer you will love it.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Thanks Brian, looking forward to putting it to work on some upcoming details.
P.S. I also scored a 20% discount off their web site.
@@jperez7499 Awesome!
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Brian, I wanted to share that I am enjoying the Adams Pressure washer and I had two separate issues with the extension wand That Adams quickly addressed and corrected. I am a big fan going forward.
@@jperez7499 That’s great! It’s such a good machine. They have the best customer service around.
Been using mine for mobile detailing 2 years strong. Love it. I saw that there is a new 2300 one+ model with one button push electric start that way you don't have to pull the choke. Cost more but it's a nice luxury.
Glad to hear yours has been great! The electric start would be great on the new version because you can start it with your phone.
Read the reviews on that one. Seems promising but undeliverable
That's the one that has a spot for the Ryobi 18v battery right?
@angelseliteautodetailing how is it undeliverable? It's a push start and uses a 18v one+ battery. It's easily deliverable.
This is what I need for Hurricane Season. Great detail review 👍🏾
Thanks!
Thanks so much! I just purchased the same generator from Home Depot for my new sprinter van! Job well done!!
Thank you!
I just purchase a Ryobi 2300 and this video is just what I need. I live in Houston and it's the summer of july 2024 in which we just had a direct hit from cat-1 hurricane Beryl that felt like a cat-3. People have been without power for weeks and it's still ongoing. Weather forecast predict a long hurricane season but I'm fortunate to have purchase my Ryobi 2300 which I'm sure will come in handy for me and no doubt will be in short supply once another hurricane approaches. Thanks a million for this video.
@@charlesbankston-r6o You are welcome! Hopefully you won’t need it but atleast you will have it.
Sorry seen this a little late but wanted to chime in anyway. I have two of these for my RV and they are awsome. They start right up after about 2 years of ownership. If you instal and easystart on your A/C you can get away with that one generator running your A/C. I still us two thow as I travel at high elevations and we all know you lose power with elevation. Just FYI its nice to have two small ones VS one large one. easy for my wife to carry :) I dont allways need to run the A/C or use every thing in the rv all at once. so I only take two in the summer.
That’s great to know. I thought about putting an easy start on it we will see how it goes.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Any update on starting the A/C in the warmer months? Mine is 13,500btu with a wall-mounted thermostat/controller rather than the kind you have directly on the A/C unit's underbelly. From what I saw in another video, flip off the breaker for the compressor or whole RV, turn off the fridge temporarily, start yours on the fan side for about 10 seconds in low, then 10 seconds on high fan, then QUICKLY turn the knob over to the A/C Low side. Soft start will obviously be easier on the generator, but that's around $400 right there.
@@lynneftw It will not run my A/C but I didn’t try it the way you suggested so I may have to next time it’s out.
Do these have oil filters?
@@JablonskiV No they don’t have oil filters.
Ryobi makes some good stuff. I have about 30 of their battery powered tools. All of them are great.
Couldn’t agree more! I have been using them for years
After Hurricane Michael I put 1200 hours on this generator. Still have it, still runs but after I stopped using it for a year it runs rough now. Probably needs carb cleaned. Good generator.
Yeah probably needs cleaned or just replace the carb.
That’s why you want to put a duel fuel propane conversion kit on it, so you can switch to propane, run it for a bit, then turn it off and not foul the carburetor when you store it.
I have the exact same unit .. it just arrived and still factory sealed in the box. Awesome.
Lol I have a brand new one in my garage in the box aswell
Running the griots BOSS correcting cream on my wifes BMW and using the complete compound on my 2020 Titan. I love these videos on detailing. You do a great job of explaining the products, and the methods of use
Thank you!
Outstanding initial review video and pointing out some of the details. And thank you for trying to actually put some decent loads on it, after all; everyone's ALWAYS trying to get as much as they can out of the smallest gen set. 🤙🏾
Thank you and you are welcome!
I have read a couple of the reviews and I see a lot of Negative reviews in my case I see nothing wrong with it I've had my for 4 years and you and it's still running smooth!
can you hook it up to the house refrigerator only , and just for over night and would it stay running just for 8 hours, i use the 8000 watt generator for the daytime for the whole house, but i just want to use one that is quieter at night, like the one he is showing ?
I bet the issue is ryobi quality control. They probably skimp on quality control and poorly made units make it to market and those who gave a bad review got one. You probably got a well assembled unit.
@jeremiah1797 yes this would easily run fridge all night, maybe even 2 nights on one tank.
My ryobi works on my 5k window unit,you just have to go full power on the generator. I didn’t know you can pair 2 gems thank you for that
I tried it at full power on the camper and it still didn’t work. You are welcome
Looks like he's got like a 12k btu AC. Need around 3500 watts I'd guess to run that bad boy.
@@enthused7591at 18:33. he.said it is a13.5k (13,500) BTU A/C
Loving the Ryobi testing. Keep them coming. I use Ryobi. Will be getting the polisher and then debate over getting their mower.
Glad you liked it. As of now I don’t have any more products to test.
I have the self propelled 40v Ryobi lawnmower. It’s truly wonderful. I cut half an acre with it once a week. For a small yard you won’t need an extra battery. For my half acre, I use two to three batteries. They are far superior to gasoline engines. They ALWAYS start! Treat the batteries like they are gasoline.
@@erichannes6392 Thanks Eric, good to know. Thinking I will pull that trigger this year. Might be a nice Christmas present. Will start laying the hints.
I need this in my power washing van..then I can add detailing to my services😀
Details is so easy.. jk it's not easy after you get used to it. Its 20% of the job the rest is prep and management
@@angelseliteautodetailing I know.. I've been detailing for years.. Just not mobile..
@@MNpicker thanks for being AWESOME 😎
Honestly very good video I like how you demonstrated to us while using it how it responds.
Thank you!
Awesome Video, we just bought one for the snow storm in Georgia, see if we need to use it. Hope so!!!
Hang on to that 12oz bottle for the oil changes. Pre=measured for the correct amount. I think I'm gonna get one of these as well. Thanks for sharing.
I already threw it out but I will just have to remember 12 ozs and buy a cheap measuring cup. Thanks
Great video man. Excellent info and straight to the point (non native English speaker here)
Thank you!
Wow! Im liking the features of this generator. Bluetooth control just adds to the convenience. Your probably right, it wasn't hot enough to kick the compressor in for the AC to work. Excellent video Brian.
The features are great on it. I plan to test it again once it’s hot out. Thanks man
As for the air conditioning, you should be able to add a smart start that will reduce the starting amps so the generator will have a chance to run the a/c. Excellent review.
I plan to have a slow start put on the compressor. Thanks
I remember when you could have swapped the RYOBI nameplate with one that said POS. But lately, they have made some nice reasonably priced nicely done gear. Thanks for the Video!
Yeah these new tools are well made and have never let me down. You are welcome
Their cordless tools are much better ever since they started to make lithium battery packs, too
A truly portable light to move around.
Yes it is
My Ryobi leveling drill is smoother running than my Dewalt and the purchase price was much lower.. Nice looking Gen Ryobi.
Definitely considering this generator for our pop up camper, thanks for the review!!!!
It would be perfect for a pop up camper. You are welcome
Tell the folks at Ryobi that I'm buying one of these based off your video
Awesome and will do!
Thank you for the review and showing how to work it I'm getting one for my block heater on my big rig. 👍
You are welcome!
Thanks for the review. Consumer Reports have a good recent review of inverter generators (and portables and permanent units). They give the Honda EU 2200 and the Predator (Harbor Freight) 2000 units 5 out of 5 for noise and this a 4/5. The bluetooth connectivity on this unit looks great.
You are welcome! The Bluetooth is a cool feature.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing that's a cool generator but it's good for low power appliances like TV, Radio, Router, Hair clipper,
But for high powered electronic devices like oven, fridge, air conditioners, iron, kettle, toaster, water heater, induction cooker, it will definitely struggle a lot
@danteerskine7678 nobody is using a oven on a generator, I don't know what one is low powered enough to run on 1800w. There is nothing wrong running any of the other thing you have listed.
Ryobi makes good stuff. Thanks bro!
Yes they do! You are welcome
Cool I just bought it and now I know how to use it
Glad the video could help you
Exactly the kind of review I was looking for. Buying one today!
Glad my review helped!
id save that funnel and keep it in the housing for proper storage and ease of access when needed
Ive got three and have owned a dozen...a few things, never leave gas in it longer than a couple weeks, and if it starts surging, clean the pilot jet on top of the carb. Also after a couple years the fuel lines collapse inside so I replaced mine with high quality marine fuel line and a good glass filter inline instead of the crappy red plastic one, cheers!
I appreciate the info. So I use Amsoil quickshot in my fuel and have left it all winter and it starts back up easily after sitting for months. I will keep that in mind though.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing for sure adding fuel stabs is a must if it sits for a while, its just easy for me to just drain it for the off season based on where theyre stored, and I found the pilot jet gets clogged so easy even with stabilizer. I also bypassed fuel through several of the easy start switches on the first few I had because they never could seem to find a happy place, the later ones theyve improved so that shows Ryobi cares, they sure are great and quiet and waay cheaper than Honda or Yammihaha😂! Happy Fourth!!
I have an older Honda 2000 with very low hours. I was going to install a soft start on my trailer AC and the manufacturer said the Honda should be able to run the AC as long as everything else is turned off. I could run the frig on propane.
wow, you made me thinking of buying ryobi generator. thx
You are welcome!
This looks like a great generator. I prefer my two Champion 2,500 generators. Cheaper (paid $550 for each) and runs on propane as well. Would be cool if it came with bluetooth though. That's pretty awesome
It’s a nice generator for sure. I looked at the Champion Dual Fuel also
Beautiful review! Thanks so much from Canada!
Thank you!
I bought this generator and liked it. It ran well and was very efficient. The overloads failed in the hot sun at 105*. They would not reset. I feel this generator is not intended to run at high ambient temperatures. The engine did well, seems like the electronic controls are lacking.
Great video man
I hope this unit runs my little Power washer and my vacuum
Vacuum armor all
Power washer green works 1700 psi😃👍🏻
Thank you! It should run both no problem
Mine runs everyday since I brought it 1.5 months ago best thing since ryobi in blue 😅
That’s great to hear!
Great video Brian👍🏼👍🏼 That's a cool little generator😎 What's the 0-60 time on that bad boy🤣😂😉
Thanks! 0-60 in 1.89 seconds
That's a nice generator brian, it looks cool ryobi are definitely spoiling you 👍👍👍,
Yes they are!
They will run a camper ac unit. I run mine al the time
Excellent demonstration. Thank you.
Can you speak to how long the generator would run if you’re just running your camper propane furnace and fan?
I’ve never had a generator. But I’m going to give you a review 🤣😂😅
What’s wrong with that? My brother in law has owned a few and has one on his house so he was there helping out. We all learn somehow.
To be fair it’s whoever shipped the generator, the box it comes in IS NOT a shipping box. Yes, a box within a box is the correct way to ship.
You CAN run a house on this. Not everything, of course and you have to use hair dryer, coffee maker, etc., one at a time. I have a 2500 watt dual fuel Champion that I connected to the 30 amp outlet my electrician ran through my breaker box. I can run HVAC fan, lights, TV's, computers all at the same time and that was on propane at 1665 running watts. Probably have to turn off HVAC fan for coffee maker but so what? It gets me through the outage and the same generator works for my camper. I do like the two handles on the end of the Ryobi for lifting it into the truck.
I have thought about having wiring done on my house also just in case we need it one day. I appreciate the info
I like everything about it except the carbon monoxide shut down. I run a small generator in a small insulated box when the temperatures are below 0. This box has a small opening where the exhaust is and a hinged cover for warmer temperatures. It runs at a steady decreasing load charging a battery plant.
Update. I purchased this after your review and you were right, it is awesome. I bought it for use in my RV with a Hisense portable air conditioner unit, and though it operates at 960w, the startup must have been higher than the 2300 startup watts available and it overloaded. The generator works great, as you said, but didnt work for me because of poor research on my AC. Just thought your viewers should know to look up the wattage used when the compressor in their particular AC unit fires up first.
I have a YETI power station that handles a 3000w surge and can get the air conditioning unit going but it drains the battery too fast. If anyone knows of a fix or trick for this, itd be a huge help, otherwise I have to return it and start over.
It’s a great little unit but won’t fire my A/C either but it will run everything else we need it to in a pinch
Also it is surprisingly quiet! The video does not do it justice it makes it sound louder then it actually is
Please do not look into a “soft start” kit like someone else mentioned lol. Just return the darn thing and get a more powerful one. I’ve always been dumbfounded by people trying to sink 200 dollars more into a problem.
I like the screw on . just one. I have a small one and it has two screws and I have to use a screw driver to get the sides off.
A great review of a great product! What more can I say? 😉👍
Not a bad inverter generator on paper. However the first one I had the pull cord break on the first start up. The replacement unit started but was hard to start after it was warm and it would not restart until it cooled completely. I returned it and bought something else. Wouldn't recommend one of these to anyone.
i bought the kit that comes with two, both pull cords broke in less than a year, i replaced the cords with heavier cordage then the recoil broke a year later. when you run them in tandem, one generator always takes the load and overloads. i’m at four years in, still have one going and im waiting to replace the second recoil assembly. also the fuel lines are trashed as well will gave to replace those soon too
@@pacothompson7161 I was lucky enough to be able to return both of them and bought a harbor freight 3000 watt and it has been amazing and enough for my needs.
Man, Ryobi is spoiling you these days.
They have been great to work with
Perhaps will do a review after a year or two on it. Could you include a sound meter on your next video.
Good job👍
I wonder if this thing would run my ridgid worm drive saw
Very well designed
gonna find out if it will run my Chicago electric 125 110v Flux welder
I’m sure it will
Thanks for sharing 👍
You are welcome
6:04 Not surprised. FedEx fell apart after the pandemic and dropped the ball on so many occasions
Yeah it is unfortunate!
Trying to start my new one now and no luck. Did all the things , oil. Gas , pulled. Idk what I'm doing wrong
Sorry to hear! Not to sound stupid but is the switch turned to the chrome position?
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing lol omg it was def not turned in the right spot. Ty
@@verucasalty5 Awesome! Hope it started up for you
Outstanding. Nice job.
Thanks. Great video you answer my questions..
You are welcome!
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing I went to home depot & I bought it. Ready x camping
I would like to know if it has a off button to shut off on the generator beside Bluetooth.
The knob has an integral kill switch
Great job. I live in Houston and don’t know of any place where they sell gas without ethanol. What do I do ?
Thanks! You can buy products to put in the gas to help with the ethanol in our field. Amsoil has one called Quickshot. Other companies sell them also.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing thanks. Keep up the good work !
amazing video, parallel kit would be awesome
Thanks brother! Yeah I plan to add a parallel and another generator.
can someone tell me how big is a generator 3800 watts on the outside, tall wide and long. thanks
Indiana buddy.. hobart Indiana here.
It’s good seeing fellow Hoosiers comment on here!
for night camping I got a river echo . in camp grounds I visit they so no generator at night.
Great video on the Ryobi generator, start about 33 sec intro is long.
Nice you can hook up two
They make the best cordless drill on the market better than most major brands but about 10 years ago their weed eater was a pos
Their products are so reliable I actually started a side hustle business with just their brand! 😁🤌
You’re outta pocket for thinking that. What on earth makes you think they make the best drill? I’m guessing you only have a Ryobi drill and haven’t tried others.
Half the price of the Honda 2200i and even shows how much fuel you have. The Honda doesn't have that.
Thanks for the review.
You are welcome!
Nice generator
Thanks! It’s a good little machine
Do you know the engine model number? Or what type of engine it is
One can run the a/c. You need soft start on your a/c. Better for it anyways!
Where did you get the magnetic dipstick, or, what is the thread size? There are a few different thread sizes for these dipsticks and I can't seem to find the one for this Ryobi.
Awesome video buddy! I am looking at one of these for my small R Pod camper. Did you retest it with the AC running? That is the main thing I want to purchase it for. Thanks!
It should be able to handle a 13,000 btu AC just fine. Might be pushing it with a 15,000btu
Great video cool generator
Thanks!
How many Oz of oil ? Thanks for the review
This unit would make a great boat anchor but that would also be an insult to boat anchors.
Recoil rope is nothing more than a few strands of fishing line wrapped in a velvet cover. If you get 25 pulls from it - you are the exception.
Don't walk away from buying this - run - as fast as you can!
I have used this generator so many times I can’t count and it has never let me down. It has been great. Everybody likes to knock Ryobi and I don’t understand it.
will this power a Ryobi 1800psi pressure washer that's 13.2 amp and 1500watts?
Yes it should no problem at all
I accidentally spilled gas on it will it be ok ?
I might be a good idea to use as a range extender for EVs.
I've seen videos where you need to somehow bond the neutral and ground together to get an EVSE to work. I'm not sure what models/brands can do this.
Would only increase range by a few miles every hour. Tesla uses about 220wh per mile. If this was charging at a full 1800w it would only add 6miles of range for every hour it's plugged in.
Thank you bro for this great video
You are welcome!
Found a guy selling a supposed new in box bought year ago for $400. Now $350. Guess I should get it????
I love mine I have used it a lot and it has served me well.
Yes.
very nice review, thank you so much
You are welcome
Kinda surprised that it got 80% load with the microwave which should only be eh 900watts for a RV spec microwave. Unless it's 1200. But that is still pretty low.
But then again i think it's because your RV plug isn't spec correctly. I have NO clue who put '120volts 30AMPS' There is 0 possibly for it to provide 30AMPS on a single 120/110v outlet. Now if that plug had a RV to 2 110/120volt AC 15-15amp plugs. Then you'd be able to get 30amps to the RV port. So that probably explains why the above was putting such a high load of near to 80-100% with very few things + the microwave. Because you're already at 1500watts on the Single 15amp rated AC 110/120volt plug from the generator. But if you had Dual plugs from it to the RV. you could've gotten that extra 300watts and surge power.
The Generator is 1800 stable watts to 2300 surge (Say the AC primes. It'll lower power After it Surges up from the compressor motor. or so forth.). But the Outlets on the generator are only rated to handle the same standard class of 1500watts/15amps as a standard home outlet does. So you'll never get 1800watts from a single plug. The ports are not shared (Atleast i think. The shouldn't be.). So you can run 1000watts on 1. And the other port can handle 800watts. Or like above 1500watts on 1 AC port and 300watts on the other.
Though that is just AC alone. Since you have Split load power. The power equals from the other ports. So if you have 2 of the USB ports doing 12watts each. That's 24watts. The 12volt port having 120watts that's 142watts. Then the 2 AC ports having 1500watt 1 and the other doing 258watts will = the full 1800 of stable power. But AC ports do use 5watts Even if there is 0 devices plugged into them. It's why most electric solar generators have a option to turn them off because AC power has to change switch power. Not fully sure on how inverter generators go. But i know electric solar generators work by converting the 12volt DC power up to 110/120volts AC. Which has to change the whole power system because DC is Direct current. While AC has a faze shift system. So it needs to change the DC current to shift power. So it has to use around 4-5watts just to power the ports. And you loose about 10-15% of performance of battery life due to the conversion. Why normally it's way better on a DC setup to run straight DC. It's easier and less power converting to loose a % of battery performance. Though with Gas. You're always using gas no matter idle or running low. So even if you didn't use power from it. You're still burning fuel.
Pretty good life for a idle/low power of around 17hours. Though how much it take? gallon of fuel or less? Would seem pretty nice.
Looks like a great little generator 👍
Needs a ceramic coating though to protect it from the elements 🤣
🤔 Protection for the generator isn’t a bad idea! 😂
If one takes care of their tools they will last longer.
Great video, thanks !
Thank you!
Awesome vlog I can't wait for the new Ryobi dethatcher with scarifier comes out I'm thinking about this Generator thanks for the post
Thanks and you are welcome
Can you do a small gas drain to keep the carb dry after each use ?
You can open the drain on the bottom of the carb and drain it out
florida has a tax free week on hurricane preparedness items at the moment and i just picked this up earlier today. thanks for the video, i’m pretty stoked on it now! do you think i would be able to run a small chest freezer and one or two box fans on it simultaneously? i got it mainly for the freezer, but it would be nice to have some circulation in the house if the power goes out... thanks!
Yes, no problem with a fridge and a coffee maker
The chest freezer on my houseboat barely put a 30-40% load on it. Should be fine. Just don't overload it. Seems the overloads are weak.
@@pope1856 thank you so much!
They have a soft start module for a couple hundred bucks that should allow you to run AC off of this generator
Yes I looked into it and plan to install it soon.
Thank you
