Description
Zoom on the Energizer eZV2200P
To sum up, the Energizer eZV2200P is a quiet, compact and lightweight portable inverter generator tailored for:
- Camping and tailgating hobbyists looking for a portable power source
- Handcrafting enthusiasts who wish to work on-the-go
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics, the different outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the extra features it benefits from.
Power & Run Time
With a 80 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, the Energizer eZV2200P operates on gasoline, providing 120V, with a running wattage of 1,700W and a starting wattage of 2,200W. Furthermore, the parallel capability (INVEZVPLKIT not included) offers the advantage of doubling power output when connected to another similar or compatible unit, delivering expanded energy capacity and flexibility for various applications.
Operating at a noise rating of 50 dBA (just as noisy as a quiet suburb), this inverter generator starts up with a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism.
With its 0.9 gallon fuel tank, the eZV2200P can operate for up to 11.5 hours when fully fueled (with fuel usage averaging 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 following 2 AC outlets:
Additionally, it features 3 DC outlets: there's a 12V 5A receptacle providing easy battery charging capabilities and two 5V USB ports perfect for conveniently charging mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices.
Portability
As the Energizer eZV2200P is an inverter generator, its encased design (L20.1 x W11 x H17.7 in) offers more aesthetics than a conventional, open frame product. The design follows the contemporary trends and is perfect for recreationally generating power.
At just 44 lbs, the eZV2200P is notably lightweight, making it an excellent choice for portable power. With its manageable weight, one person can easily move it around, ensuring power wherever needed. In addition, a handle (molded in the case) lets you carry it easily and further increases its convenience.
Features
Some light indicators allow you to instantly see if the generator is overloaded, the oil level is too low and the generator is ready.
As far as security is concerned, the generator can be used with a peace of mind, as it features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker).
In addition to the traditional documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to help you get started promptly, the Energizer eZV2200P also includes several accessories: tool kit, funnel and battery charging cables.
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).
- Regarding weight, the Energizer eZV2200P comes in at only 44 pounds, positioning itself as one of the lighter options among inverter generators spanning from 1500 to 2500 in rated wattage. If weight is a key factor for your needs, the Genmax GM2000i is noteworthy for being one of the top contenders in this power range, with a dry weight of 34.2 pounds.
- Rated at a lowest possible noise level of 50 dBA, this inverter generator positions itself amongst the more quiet of the products of similar type and power. If noise emissions are one of your priorities, you may want to take a look at the Honda EU2200i. It's one of the quietest options among generators of similar power, rated at 48 dBA.
- At 25% load, the eZV2200P boasts a higher run time than most similarly powerful inverters, reaching up to 11.5 hours. If prolonged run time is essential to your needs, you could consider the DuroMax XP2300iH, which offers one of the highest autonomy among devices with similar power output, lasting up to 13 hours.
- Run time is crucial, but it heavily relies on the fuel tank's capacity. Thus, considering fuel efficiency alongside is essential. This inverter generator is one of the most fuel-efficient options in its power range, consuming approximately 0.08 GPH (gallon per hour) at 25% load.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, 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.

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.
