Subaru Robin

The Subaru Robin Silent Series of generators includes the R1700i at 1,650 watts; the RG3200iS at 3,200 watts; and the RG4300iS at 4,300 watts. The advanced inverter technology reduces running sound. The inverter generators run the engine at a slower speed for low power use and automatically increase speed as more electrical power is required. Further sound reduction is achieved through the advanced reverse cooling design. All Silent Series generators come with a one-touch control system that allows all engine functions to be controlled with the turn of a dial. Also, when the dial is turned to the shutdown position, the control not only shuts off the ignition, but also disengages the fuel supply.
