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.
We’re building our retirement home out in the country, and one of our top priorities is being prepared for outages—especially during storms or winter weather. After reading up on various models, we chose the Erayak 8000iE inverter generator to give us backup power for essential loads like lighting, heating, and refrigeration.
After unboxing and setup, I was immediately impressed by the quality of construction. The design is clearly engineered with real-world use in mind. Electric start and remote start are major benefits for someone like me who’s not looking to pull-start a heavy-duty machine in the middle of the night.
What really surprised us is how quiet the 8000iE runs—especially for a generator with 6800 running watts and 8000 starting watts. We tested it running several appliances, and it didn’t even break a sweat. The enclosed frame helps a lot with noise, and the LCD panel gives helpful readouts for voltage, run time, and load.
Like many people our age, moving heavy equipment isn’t easy. Though it comes with wheels, I took it a step further and mounted it on a garden wagon that I can tow with our lawn tractor—problem solved. Now I can roll it out from the shed when needed without lifting.
I use only ethanol-free gas with a quality fuel stabilizer and plan to keep the battery hooked up to a trickle charger so it’s always ready. I also appreciate the built-in carbon monoxide sensor, which gives us peace of mind if the weather forces us to run it close to the house.
Overall, I think we made the right choice. With its quiet operation, remote start, long runtime (up to 9 hours at 50% load), and dual 120V/240V output, this generator checks all the boxes. I expect it to give us many years of reliable emergency service as we settle into our new home.
We moved to the coast a couple of years ago and didn’t think much about power outages—until Hurricane Isaias hit. That storm left us without power for days and made us realize how unprepared we were. We weren’t ready to commit to a whole-house standby generator yet, so we started researching portable options.
After comparing several models, we decided on the Erayak 8000iE inverter generator, and it turned out to be the perfect choice.
We were honestly a bit nervous—this was our first time owning and operating a generator. But the remote start and simple push-button ignition made setup incredibly easy. The LCD display showed real-time stats like voltage and load, so we could monitor everything at a glance. We had it up and running in minutes.
What impressed us most was how quiet and fuel-efficient it was. Even while running our refrigerator, sump pump, some lights, Wi-Fi router, and a portable AC, the generator didn’t seem to struggle at all. It ran for over 8 hours on half a tank, and our neighbors couldn’t even hear it operating from the street.
We also felt reassured knowing it had a built-in CO sensor with auto shutoff—safety was a big priority for us.
If you're on the fence like we were, this generator is a fantastic way to test out backup power without jumping straight to a whole-house system. We’re more than satisfied and may not even need to upgrade—this unit handles everything we need. Highly recommend it for emergency prep, RV trips, or home resilience.
