Description
Zoom on the Energizer eZV2200P
In short, the Energizer eZV2200P is a quiet, compact and lightweight portable inverter generator adequately designed for:
- Tailgating and campground aficionados with the desire of enjoying power anywhere they go
- Amateur DIY lovers
In the upcoming sections, you'll discover its power characteristics, the array of outlets it presents, its overall portability, and the additional features it possesses.
Power & Run Time
Featuring a 80 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, the Energizer eZV2200P operates using gasoline, providing 120V, with a running wattage of 1,700W and a starting wattage of 2,200W. Moreover, the parallel capability (INVEZVPLKIT (opens in a new tab) not included) enables doubling of power output when paired with another similar or compatible unit, providing increased energy capacity and versatility for a wide range of needs.
Operating with a noise level of 50 dBA (just as noisy as a quiet suburb), the inverter generator starts up via a traditional recoil pull-start 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).
The <2% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the eZV2200P ensures a clean sine wave output, providing a secure power source for your sensitive electronics through its AC outlets.
Outlets
The control panel is equipped with the following 2 AC outlets:
It also sports 3 DC outlets: there's a 12V 5A receptacle offering a convenient battery charging option and two 5V USB ports with which charging of electronics like mobile phones and tablets is made convenient.
Portability
With its enclosed inverter generator design (L20.1 x W11 x H17.7 in), the Energizer eZV2200P offers superior aesthetics and operates with minimized noise levels, distinguishing itself from standard, open frame generators. This modern design aims to provide an ideal power solution to recreational users.
Since the eZV2200P weighs only 44 lbs, it can be labeled as a portable lightweight generator. As it can be moved by a single person without much effort, the generator and its power can be enjoyed on-the-go. Adding to its convenience, the handle (molded in the case) enables easy carrying.
Features
When the generator is ready, its oil levels are insufficient and the generator is on overload, you will be informed by the featured light indicators.
From a security standpoint, the generator is furnished with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), ensuring peace of mind during operation.
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: battery charging cables, tool kit and funnel.
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 you are mindful of weight, the Genmax GM2000i is among the top contenders in this power range, with a dry weight of 34.2 pounds.
- At just 50 dBA rated noise level, this inverter generator is positioned as one of the quieter choices among devices delivering similar type and power. If noise emissions are important to you, one of the least noisy generators of this power range is the Honda EU2200i with only 48 dBA.
- Compared to inverters of similar power, the eZV2200P stands out with one of the higher run times, lasting up to 11.5 hours at 25% load. Furthermore, considering the run times, one of the generators which have a roughly same power output, with the highest autonomy, is the DuroMax XP2300iH, as it provides up to 13 hours.
- Run time is a key metric, but it's dependent on the generator's fuel capacity. Therefore, discussing fuel efficiency is necessary to get the full picture. Among devices of similar power, this inverter generator has one of the best fuel efficiency, with consumption rates of around 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.
