How to Choose the LIFAN 2300W Gasoline Inverter Generator: Complete Buying Guide
Understanding Your Power Needs
Before purchasing the LIFAN 2300W Gasoline Inverter Generator, assess your power requirements:
- Consider the starting watts (2000W) and running watts (1800W) capacity
- Make a list of devices you’ll need to power simultaneously
- Calculate total wattage requirements for your specific use case (camping, home backup, RV, etc.)

Assessing Fuel Efficiency
For optimal runtime and cost-effectiveness:
- Evaluate the advanced engine design that promises fuel efficiency
- Consider how long you’ll need continuous power
- Factor in fuel availability during emergencies or remote locations
- Check if the fuel consumption meets your budget expectations
Considering Noise Levels
Especially important for camping, residential areas, or nighttime use:
- The LIFAN generator advertises quiet operation

Generator works well and it’s fairly quiet, absolutely no complaints with it’s power output or noise. Was able to plug it into my camper and run both the AC and air fryer at the same time without a hiccup and did not notice signs of voltage sag when a high load was applied like some generators will do, no dimming/flickering lights etc. and was able to run a welder off it with no issue. Remote start is a huge convenience and works perfectly so I can start and stop the generator from inside the camper and turn it on just when I need to run a high output appliance or recharge my camper batteries. Came with a lithium battery for the electric start. The 2.6 Gal fuel tank should last quite a while and having a digital fuel gauge is a plus though I haven’t had time to test how fuel efficient it is yet.
I do have some nitpicks though, for starters the front carry handle doesn’t go high enough so I’m pretty much stooping over to walk with it and it’s all too easy to lift the handle too high and hit a pivot point of no return over the rear wheels where the handle will just collapse and it flips over backwards. Definitely never transport this thing without letting it cool down for a good amount of time and close the fuel vent as when this happens fuel can leak from the filler cap directly towards the exhaust. I also think the folding plastic handle just feels like it’s going to snap with repeated use but time will tell.
Instructions are lacking, it’ll get you up and running and it’s clear English but they don’t mention the electric or remote start at all, had to figure that one out myself. The generator ships with a small lithium battery inside the unit held in by a rubber strap for the electric start but it’s disconnected and behind the side panel opposite of the pull starter. It also does not ship with the required oil but does include a funnel.

After my friend told me the battery comes disconnect and connected it, thed electric start and the remote fob worked great. With the generato in eco mode it ran for almost 12 hours and provided adequate electricity for my travel trailer.
I was pleased with it’s power and economy.

I’m very satisfied with my Lifan generator! It runs smoothly, starts easily, and performs better than expected. The build quality feels solid, and it’s been reliable for my needs. Great customer service as well — they made sure everything was set up perfectly. Definitely a 5-star experience!

I can confirm a a loud metallic rattle when on ECO mode and at a low rpm, very noisy, as if a metal shield is vibrating against the engine or something. I’ll have to take off the covers and investigate. When running full power though, no rattle. As far as being very quiet, not even close. You can hear this generator running 50 feet away. Build quality is excellent, and it’s handle is well balanced when carrying around. Mine came with a fuel level site glass on top. When camping, it runs my air conditioner just fine however when using ECO mode, the air conditioner will shut itself off when it’s compressor kicks back on. Probably due to the brief drop in voltage before the generator revs back up. A non-digital air conditioner didn’t do that. Oh well.
Update: I inspected the insides and found no metal shields. All shields are plastic. The internal fan blows air through the cavity and keeps these shields from melting. The metallic rattle seems to be coming from the valve train itself. After my break-in period, I might readjust the valves for proper clearance.
Another reviewer on here stated they had a gas leakage. That is because the gas tank has a vent tube on the top of the tank (on the control panel side). Any tipping of the generator with full gas toward this side will let gas travel out of this vent and down into the housing. I would suggest you do not travel with a full tank.
Other than that…I liked this generators output, it is powerful when on full. I detected no voltage sag when using heavy motors or appliances.

Worked for 5 days. Then spent the next 5 days with headquarters’s in China walking me thru slowly on how they believed how to fix it. Slow walked me for 5 days and then I quit because nothing was getting fixed. Theres no (0) support for this product in the USA. Also if you need parts that they left out sparkplug cover and panel bolts. The sparkplug cover was found underneath the inner cardboard box flap. They started sending the parts to me however I found by DHL that I have to pay for the delivery. That was the last straw for me so i brought it to Amazon’s attention and they refunded me for the cost of the generator. The generator mechanically ran perfect and still does but the sensors for the co began shutting it down in 30 seconds beginning on the 6th day of use. They are made very well but if it won’t stay running because of sensors that early in its life with no parts in the USA then I had to rethink it. Hopefully your experience will be better than mine. LIFAN actually has been around awhile and their motors are in just about every street scooter.

Quiet, easy to start. added gasoline and 350 Ml of 10w40 and ran it from 930 am until it ran out of gas at 1230.
Seems short but I had a 1500 watt resistance heater putting a. Load. On the thing the entire time..
After that I added my fuel pump and 3 gallon boat tank and ran it continuously until 545pm..
Oh and the CO Sensor works and cut off the unit immediately when I started my suv and poof.. Hit the reset and restarted..
This unit is a great value.. I’m glad to have made the purchase..
Drained out my breakin oil and it had a lot of machining material in the oil..
Drained it and replaced with fresh..
I’m now considering if I get another Chineseum made generator, I’m probably going to add zinc to the lubricant..
