Customer Reviews
Our power pole caught fire due to a grounding issue, and we were left without electricity until repairs could be made. Thankfully, I had purchased the Erayak 8000iE Inverter Generator ahead of time. Living in rural Texas, the power grid isn’t always reliable during storms.
This was my first real use of it, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous at first. But it delivered exactly what we needed. It powered our RV without any issues and kept us comfortable the entire time. While some people complain about generator noise, this 8000iE runs at about 67 decibels from 23 feet away — much quieter than the old generators I’ve used, so we could sleep through the night without getting up to refuel.
Before firing it up, I had already checked and installed the small parts, and noticed it doesn’t come with oil. I added about a quart and used Sta-bil fuel stabilizer so the fuel stays fresh during storage. I also make it a habit to run it once a month just to keep it ready.
With its 5.4-gallon fuel tank, it ran close to 9 hours at 50% load — plenty of time to get through the night. It kept our air conditioner, refrigerator, and TV running without a hiccup.
I really like the versatile outlets — dual 120V/240V power, standard household outlets, a 30A locking outlet, a 12V DC port, and USB ports — so I can power everything from the fridge and sump pump to my laptop and phone charger at the same time.
I hope my review helps someone in making a decision, I was very leary at first but it has proven itself to me.
Wow, this thing is a beast! Once I installed the wheels, I couldn’t help but admire how great it looked. Luckily, it works just as good as it looks.
I own an Allegro bus that’s currently in for repairs—about $4,000 worth—and I needed something to keep it running until the work is done. Living in Arizona, having reliable power is essential. The Erayak generator handled everything on my motorcoach without breaking a sweat. I ordered an L14-30 to 50A adapter to get 240V power, and it ran both of my Dometic Penguin II air conditioners, plus the microwave/convection oven, TV, Starlink, and all the outlets for charging devices. I’m extremely happy with this purchase and will definitely buy from Erayak again.
The only hiccup I had was that the generator kept shutting down every few minutes. At first, I didn’t realize the CO light was on—hard to see in bright sunlight. Turns out, the wind was blowing exhaust back toward the CO detector. After moving the generator to a different spot, it’s been running perfectly ever since.
I recently purchased the Erayak 8000iE inverter generator, and I have to say—I was genuinely impressed the moment I unboxed it. Despite its large size, the overall build quality is outstanding. Once I installed the wheels, moving it around became surprisingly easy. For a generator this powerful, I expected it to be cumbersome, but it rolls effortlessly, even over rough surfaces.
What really sold me was how well it fits into my emergency preparedness plan. I bought it mainly as a backup power source for my home during outages or natural disasters, and so far, it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it—from refrigerators and lights to my home office equipment and even a small A/C unit.
Yes, it’s a bit of an investment, but for the quality, convenience, and peace of mind it provides, I’d say it’s absolutely worth it. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-capacity generator for home backup, this is a smart choice. I’m very happy with my purchase!
I purchased the Erayak 8000iE as a backup for storm season, and the setup was easier than I expected. After unboxing, I added the recommended engine oil and connected the included battery cable to enable the electric start. The instructions were clear, and within minutes I had it ready to go.
The electric push‑button start worked perfectly on the first try, and it’s great knowing I can also use the recoil or remote start if needed. During our last outage, it powered our refrigerator, lights, and Wi‑Fi without any trouble. The LCD display helped me keep track of runtime and load, and I really appreciated the quiet operation compared to my old open‑frame generator.
If you’re looking for a generator that’s easy to maintain and quick to get running, the 8000iE is an excellent choice.
I recently bought a new race car trailer. A friend suggested I try a cheaper generator first, so I picked up a budget 3500W unit from a discount brand. For $800, I figured it was worth a shot.
Big mistake.
It started fine, but the moment I plugged in my small air compressor and trailer lights, the thing nearly exploded — smoke, noise, total chaos. I was half expecting it to dig a trench under the trailer. Barely 2 hours in, it was toast.
A few days later, I decided to do it right.
Enter the Erayak 8000iE. It cost more, but what a difference. I ran the same compressor, trailer lights, and an AC unit — and it didn’t flinch. Quiet. Stable. Clean inverter power. I even tune my car with a laptop directly off it, with zero fear of data loss or dirty current.
My dad used to say: "If it's worth buying, it's worth buying once."
This generator proves it.
