The Clarke IG2200A has a Euro 5 compliant engine which meets eu/2016/1628 regulations. This means improved economy and efficiency whilst lowering emissions.
The IG2200A from Clarke is a powerful, portable generator that
features inverter technology to provide pure, stable power for computers
and other sensitive equipment. With a maximum output of 2.2kW and a
continuous output of 2.0kW it is suitable for trade and leisure use and
is perfect for use on site, on market stalls, for camping & caravanning
trips, boating and much more.
It has an economical air cooled 4 stroke engine and features
an Eco throttle that automatically adjusts the engine speed to match the
load that is running for greater fuel efficiency and a lower noise
level. The Eco throttle also put less unnecessary strain on the motor
which prolongs the lifespan of the motor and reduces operation costs.
Our Review: What did we Think?
The first thing we noticed when we got the generator out of the box was
the very easy to follow instructions for setting up, running and
maintaining the unit. We found it easy to fill the fuel and oil on first
use and it did take two or three pulls to start from cold, but once the
generator was warm it fired first time, every time.
Once the Clarke IG2200A 2.2kW Inverter Generator was set up and running
we plugged it in to the motorhome and found that it easily coped with
what we threw at it, including running the lights, the battery charger,
charging the mobile phone and laptop and most importantly keeping the
beer cold in the fridge!
We found the Clarke IG2200A 2.2kW Inverter Generator gave an excellent
output and in the Economy mode we found the unit to be reasonably quiet
too.
As the engine is Euro 5 Compliant, this promises improved economy over older models, and of course importantly, reduces emmissions.
It also offers two 240v plug sockets which we found very useful. The 12V battery charging facility sells it for us, enabling us to stay offgrid for as long as want!
Overall, this is a larger unit than the 1KW version, and as a result slightly heavier although still portable enough! For the cost it resembles great value for money and is not as heavy as some other generators providing the same power output.
This is a great buy offering good value for money and is around half the price of some other generators on the market.
Machine Mart may not be the first place you'd think of for camping and caravanning equipment, but they stock a great range of petrol suitcase generators, perfect for campers and caravanners.
