| **Update** 7/3/2007 - I received my Boliy today. I fired it up and ran a few tests on it. I was able to run my A/C (2160w startup - 1200w running) and my computer (200w) and my coffee pot (780w) - all at the same time! Without breaking a sweat! I should have turned on more! Impressive! It also ran my microwave (1800w startup - 1560w running) and A/C (1200w running) and computer (200w) at the same time – but struggled a little. Very, very impressive for this altitude! I did have to turn the eco throttle off to run the A/C, but that’s no big deal. I am at an elevation of 4000’. The generator is very quiet and I like the way it is built. I just can't get over the weight of this thing! |
| **Update** 7/6/2007 - I listened to the sound levels against my Kipor IG2600 which is a 2600w unit. The Boliy is actually quieter than my Kipor. All Boliy generators that we sell come 100% tested before they ship out. |
| **Update** 8/24/2007 - I was up in the mountains of Colorado on a fishing trip at 7500'. I tested the Boliy again with my A/C, computer and Converter and it worked great! I am impressed at the power of this unit! |
| **Update** 9/28/2007 - As I am writing this, I am sitting in a sandstorm in southern Utah. I have the air conditioner running (maybe not the best idea, but there is no way I am going to open up!), my computer system running, my satellite tv system running and I am charging the batteries. I have about 85 hours of run time on the generator and it has been working great! |
| **Update** 2/8/2008 - We had a great time at the Quartzsite RV Show. We had a 13500btu AC on hand for demonstration. There were quite a few interested people and a lot of happy customers. I am now back to dry camping using my Boliy generator. We will be selling custom made covers for the Boliy in the near future. |
**Update** 4/25/2008 - We now have covers and high altitude jets available on our accessories page. I am back in Utah using my Boliy. I now have about 600 hours on my unit. I updated my unit to the latest 3rd generation generator at the show in Quartzsite. This has been a great unit for me. The only problem I have had is that I broke the pull cord. It was broken at the very end, so I just retied and wrapped it and I was good to go! Check out my new troubleshooting guide!

**Update** 5/1/2009 - OK. It has been a while since I added an update and I thought it was about time to write something! I have now logged about 1200 hours on my 3rd generation Boliy. It still runs great. So what problems have I had since day one? I have broken the pull cord twice - my fault. I had to make a slight adjustment on the fuel mixture on the carburetor. The on/off rocker switch went bad and the econo throttle switch went bad. These are covered under warranty so they were easily replaced. I did a little juggling until the parts showed up, so I was still able to use my generator. That's it! Am I happy with the unit? Yes! I rely heavily on my generator because I do a LOT of dry camping. I trust the Boliy to come through and start every time I need it!

| **Update** 3/21/2010 - Well I have finally gotten around to adding another update. back in September I upgraded to the elctric start version of the Boliy. I was hesitant due to the added 8 lbs. I was worried that it would be to heavy. When I got the generator, I was pleasantly surprised! I didn't really notice the difference. As I have said before, I have to move this unit around all of the time. I have been very impressed with the way the electric start works. It is a push button. So I don't have to worry about losing another set of keys. The electric start is really nice to have and it works flawlessly. Even after sitting for six weeks, I can push the button and she goes! |
**Update** 2/12/2011 - The 2011 Quartzsite RV show has come and gone. It was a very busy year for the show. If you ever get a chance to be in Quartzsite in January for the show, it is quite an event. I would highly recommend it! We hope to be back again next year...
Anyway, we sold quite a few Boliy generators. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to update my unit to the latest 6th generation version. They actually changed the color to a dusty red/maroon. I find it more attractive than the straight red color. The gas tank is steel. This feels like it adds about 2 lbs. to the overall weight. I will try to get some new pictures together and post them on the web site soon. Also, we are looking for potential dealers. If you have an RV dealership or are interested in reselling in your home town, please email us!
On to more dry camping.... beats paying $30-$40 a night! |
| **Update** 3/1/2011 -Yesterday I went out and changed my oil over to synthetic. I am going to try Amsoil on my unit. I also ran some tests for fun. I tried running my hot water heater, toaster, coffee pot, satellite TV reciever, and converter all at the same time. The Boliy did it with no problem. I only let it run for about a minute, but it was running a total of 3500 WATTS!! This was tested at an elevation of 900 feet and the outside temperature was 65 degrees. Once again, I am very impressed. |
| **Update** 1/10/2012 - Come see us at the annual 2012 Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show! January 21st through the 29th. |
