Briggs Stratton 30469 7,500 Watt 342cc Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit


Product Review

Shopped numerous months for a back-up generator within the event of a severe storm...which is highly possible here in Texas. Discovered the identical unit here locally....but Amazon had the top cost..and with cost-free shipping the choice was simple... Soon after some minor assembly and adding oil, it started up on the second pull....Runs smooth and is quite very. Plugged in numerous tools...fans...etc...ran excellent...now its time to put away for an emergency....I would very advise this unit... (Review More...)

ETQ PG30P11 3,500 Watt 7 HP 208cc 4-Cycle OHV Propane Powered Portable Generator


Product Review

I don't know what inspired me to acquire this generator, apart from having shopped for 1 casually for a while, but my timing was impeccable. We just had a massive ice storm in Kentucky that decimated power lines with fallen tree limbs layered with inches of thick ice. This generator came on the 6th day with out electricity. I added oil to the generator, cranked it up and ran it for four days (12-14 hours per day). I couldn't be a lot more pleased. Considering that all the gas stations inside a reasonable distance were closed, using propane was an outstanding alternative. I did break the plastic choke lever upon initial use, but I discovered I never ever had to use it - and if I ever do there is certainly enough left to enable me to choke the engine. Regardless, I didn't acquire it for wheels but to offer electricity and it has completed so in an admirable manner soldiering on (as I stated) for 4 days. I wish I had bought this earlier. (More...)

Generac 5791 iX800 800 Watt 38cc 4-Stroke OHV Gas Powered Portable Inverter Generator


Product Review

The price, $285, was very good. It's NOT as very good as the tiny Yamaha I had however it is surely worth the cost. It's somewhat noisy and not well-wired. In case you look at the jumble of wires inside the case you'll see a whole lot of chintzy consumer electronics connectors made for extremely light indoor duty. The engine and inverter appear well-made. The ECO throttle is just not steady, it wavers up and down having a steady load and it does not even come into play outside a narrow load range within the middle of the generators energy, about 100 watts either side of mid-range 400 watts.

Briggs Stratton 30466 4,375 Watt 250cc Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit


Product Review

I purchased this generator throughout hurricane Irene to energy a refrigerator as well as a few other appliances inside the home. This generator was really easy to setup and there is certainly nothing `cheap' or flimsy about it, even the wheels look like they had been meant to last. For the same watts, it looks like this 1 weighs 20+ pounds more than a similarly sized `no name / home brand' generator. I'm not positive that necessarily makes it much better (or worse), but I like the reality that the engine is a brand serviceable by several nearby dealers. Yes, it truly is loud like the others have mentioned, but I do not know how it compares to other similarly sized generators. (Review More...)

Yamaha EF1000iS 1,000 Watt 50cc OHV 4-Stroke Gas Powered Portable Inverter Generator (CARB Compliant)


Product Review

I wanted a smaller generator than the 1 built into my RV to save on gas and operate quieter. this modest yamaha did the trick. I use a 50 foot extension cord and run it to my rv by means of the window. It can power my laptop or computer, battery chargers, and tiny appliances on its quiet, low power setting. I barely hear when it genuinely is operating on low energy if it actually is 50 feet from the RV. Utilizes only 1/2 gallon of gas if i run it all day. but you do require to go to a neighborhood Yamaha dealer and get the proper oil. make sure you read the directions for this or you are going to burn out the motor.

Champion Power Equipment 73531i 2,000 Watt 4-Stroke Gas Powered Portable Inverter Generator (CARB Compliant)

Product Review

I simply acquired my Champion Generator today from Sams Club. Compensated $500. It fired right up and to date i am very impressed. The standard appears ideal for the cost. I've been playing by using it yesteryear handful of hrs testing out different electronics. I intend to apply it our camper. I might get a second one as we decide we want the Air conditioner. It's often cooler temp. where we camp. I have used the Honda EU2000 machines many occasions and this can be a much the same generator. When running on eco mode it appears to become just like quiet because the honda. When revved completely up it may be just a little even louder but pretty good whatsoever. Time will inform how durable this unit is but for the time being I provide a five star rating and would recommend it to anybody. It's my job to spend the additional buck to obtain something just a little higher quality however in this situation I felt good concerning the Champion Generator and i believe it's a good deal.
