But after first usage, the generator will usually start up with a pull or two. When you turn on the auto idle switch, which will set the engine into a stationary state until an energy load demands a boost of RPM’s. Then the engine accelerates automatically.

Ryi2200 Ryobi Generator Review
In the course of the last blackout, I tested in this Ryobi 2200 review the Ryi2200 Ryobi performance by plugging to it an old 21.7 cu fridge. The fridge only needed 6.5 amps to run, barely moving the engine from its idle state. At the same time, I used the generator to power a saw. Even now, the idle speed didn’t show any perceptible increasement. Well, the overload light blinked while starting up, but the saw itself didn’t suffer any power decrease, even when cutting big pieces of wood.
To remark any negative trait, I must say it is so compact, it’s hard to access. You need a funnel and a tube to fill the oil. Its fuel capacity is also quite low. But a gallon gasoline can keep it running for about 5 hours. It also must be grounded. This device has its own grounding. But according to the National Electric Code, it’s needed to stick an 8” steel bar 8 feet into the ground.
The Ryobi 2200 Inverter Generator supplies 2200w when starting and 1800w when running. It’s enough energy to power several high-ranged appliances such as fridges, stoves, small air conditioners and more.
It runs quite fast. Hence, it’s very quiet. With a 4-cycle engine and 106cc OHC, this generator can supply enough energy for its two 120-volt outlets and one 12-volt outlet.
If its energy supply is not enough for you, you can get another generator and make them run in parallel. You will have more than enough power for all your RV or home appliances.
Very compact, measuring 24 x 13 x 15 inches and weighting 51 pounds, it can be easily transported since it has wheels and handle.
