Hello, my name is Jim. I am the Boliy Guy. I am a full time Rver. I have been selling generators for two years now and I am a generator user myself. I understand the needs and wants of the RV community. I have used inexpensive (cheap) conventional generators - with very bad results. I switched to using the Kipor generator line about 2 years ago after my conventional generator surged and burned out my TV and Converter. It was an investment for me at the time, but it has paid off.
I switched to a Boliy generator for personal use about 6 months ago. I have always wanted to have the power to run everything from my rooftop A/C to my microwave, but I just couldn't manage the 130+ pounds of the big generators. When I heard that the Boliy could provide these power needs at only 70lbs, I jumped on it. I have been a happy Boliy user ever since then!
Below I have included some of my personal experiences using the Boliy:
**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 heavy duty 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!
