Zoom on the Energizer eZV2200P
In a nutshell, the Energizer eZV2200P is a quiet, compact and lightweight portable inverter generator mostly geared towards:
- Camping and tailgating hobbyists looking for a portable power source
- Amateur DIY lovers
In the following paragraphs, we shall explore the power characteristics, available outlets, portability, and any additional features of the device, along with its emission compliance information.
Power & Run Time
The Energizer eZV2200P is powered by a 80 cc OHV 4-stroke engine. It delivers 120V, runs on gasoline and offers a running wattage of 1,700W as well as a peak wattage of 2,200W. In addition, the device is parallel capable (INVEZVPLKIT (opens in a new tab) not included) and thus, can be linked to a similar or compatible unit for added power.
At a noise rating of 50 dBA (just as noisy as rainfall), the inverter generator is started via a conventional pull-start mechanism.
Thanks to a fuel capacity of 0.9 gallon, the eZV2200P can operate for up to 11.5 hours with a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.08 GPH).
As the eZV2200P produces a clean sine wave, with a <2% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), sensitive electronics may be plugged in the AC outlets safely.
Outlets
The control panel features the upcoming 2 AC outlets:
In addition, it provides 3 DC outlets: there's a 12V 5A receptacle with which you may charge your batteries with ease and two 5V USB ports with which charging of electronics like mobile phones and tablets is made convenient.
Portability
Thanks to its closed inverter generator design (L20.1 x W11 x H17.7 in), the Energizer eZV2200P, is more esthetical than a typical, open frame generator. The generator has a contemporary design, convenient for recreationally generating power.
Since the eZV2200P weighs only 44 lbs, it can be labeled as a portable lightweight generator. The generator can be moved with ease by only one person and so it can be enjoyed on-the-go. Further convenience is provided by its handle (molded in the case), as it allows you to carry it effortlessly.
Features
The eZV2200P's control panel
The light indicators show you if the generator is ready, the oil level is too low and the generator is on overload.
As for its security measures, the device features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), letting you use it with a peace of mind.
While the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), helpful for starting the device promptly, come with the Energizer eZV2200P, the following accessories are also included: tool kit, funnel and battery charging cables.
Emissions
The Energizer eZV2200P is EPA-approved and CARB-compliant. It can therefore be sold and purchased in all 50 states, including California.
Moreover, it features a spark arrestor and therefore, can be used in forested areas.
The Energizer eZV2200P versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Energizer eZV2200P compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 1500 and 2500 W).
- Weight-wise, the Energizer eZV2200P has only 44 lbs, which renders it one of the lighter inverter generators which produce 1500 to 2500 rated watts. Regarding dry weight, one of the champions in the same power range is the Genmax GM2000i, with a dry weight of only 34.2 lbs.
- As its lowest possible noise is rated at 50 dBA, this inverter generator qualifies as one of the more quiet of the products of similar type and power. For those who are looking for a less noisy device, we suggest the Honda EU2200i. With just 48 dBA, it is one of the most quiet devices in this power range.
- The eZV2200P provides a higher run time than similarly powerful inverters, reaching up to 11.5 hours at 25% load. If concerned with autonomy, one of the products of a comparable power output, which offers the highest run time, is the DuroMax XP2300iH, boasting with up to 13 hours.
- Run times are important, yet thanks to their dependence on the fuel capacity, they should be judged along with the fuel consumption of the device. At an estimated fuel consumption of 0.08 GPH (gallon per hour) at 25% load, this inverter generator is one of the most fuel efficient units within its wattage category.
Price comparison
As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other 1500-2500W inverter generators, the Energizer eZV2200P is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.

Will this run a compound miter saw? (Ryobi 12 in.; 120 v, 60 Hz, 15 amps) (Asked July 25, 2021)
It won't. 120V*15A=1800W, which is over the 1700 running watts of this unit.

User Reviews
Generator ran perfectly for approximately 40 hrs. Changed oil after second tank of fuel. Put fuel stabilizer in fuel & didn’t use it for the summer. Starting using it in November to run lights in ice fishing shack. Ran fine for 2 tanks of fuel then engine started to surge. Changed spark plug , added sea foam to fuel, removed & cleaned carburetor & still runs like garbage. I was told by support centre that I need to take it to repair shop & as the unit is 13 months old warranty will cover parts not labour. Garbage !! Get what you pay for. More reputable products like Honda are considerably more expensive but last for years. Absolutely do not recommend.
