    The choice for me comes down to which company actually has customer service so you don’t have a $2500 250lb paper weight. Predator requires a $650 warranty if you want more than 90 days, but if you live near a Harbor Freight they will give you a new one, once, but you can then renew the warranty. Northern Tool also has real stores for the Powerhorse. If you are lucky, Genmax and Duromax will send you parts for home repair.

    Good video & thanks for sharing the information.
    Yesterday I test ran my Harbor Freight's new Predator 9500 / 7600 watt - 30 amp per leg generator which I had wired into my condo's electric panel. It performed better than I could have hoped for. Prior to this test I hooked up the Mirco-Air Easy Start to my AC compressor which lowered my starting amps from 69 amps to an average of 21 amps! The running amps was also lowered, now averaging only 8.0 amps.
    I ran the AC at full blast along with 2 refrigerators, all the lights & ceiling fans, a large dehumidifier and was only drawing 15 amps on one leg and 13 amps on the other and this was over a 130 foot length of #8 wire from the generator to my electric panel then another 100 foot of #8 wire to my outside AC compressor! In fact I had the ESC Mode (Electronic Throttle Speed Control) on the generator turned on and it still ran at the lower RPM and never needed to kick itself up to the higher rpm to handle the load. Just amazing!

      Thank you for your comment! You're absolutely right, a soft start kit is a great addition when running a central AC home unit with a backup inverter. It helps reduce the surge of power at startup, ensuring a smoother operation. By the way, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a fantastic option for outdoor enthusiasts and RV lovers like us. It offers massive capacity, powerful output, and fast recharging. Plus, it's built tough and waterproof. Definitely worth considering for your outdoor power needs!

    I just bought a Champion model 201159 generator for home backup power after doing some research. Champion is a well established company, they seem to have a track record of experience. I considered the Predator 9000 watt inverter. But Champion just seemed like a better option. The model I bought has a 50 amp outlet. I'm not an expert, but I don't know why Champion isn't represented here. Is it regional (lack of) exposure?
    I like the Predator, but it's only a couple years old and it seems like it's a little dated. The generator industry seems like it's changing rapidly with more advance features becoming available. The generator industry is growing fast. Probably mine will be outdated next month. But looks like it's good enough.

    Seems to me that the deciding factor among all these generators is the state of service and warranty support available. What good is a $2500 paperweight ?

    • @GeneratorReviews
      @GeneratorReviews  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      When it comes to these generators you always have to keep in mind what you’re powering and your power usage. Just because I said you can power the entire house doesn’t mean it will power everything at the same time. when we run off back up generators you have to be conscious of that.

    • @JavierRivera
      @JavierRivera 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Short answer yes. You do not have everything running or on at the same time at your home anyway. Usually during the day you fridge, A/C , a fan. At night the same but a few lights. To cook if you have an electric stove then the stove for 20-35 min. Etc. Now. To be able to run the A/C you will need to add an EasyStart to lower the amount of amps needed to start the compressor. For example my AC starts with 78 amps. With an EasyStart starts with 26amps that is in the range of a 50 amps generator. Then after starts it drops to 14 amps while the AC is running. So in an emergency you have to choose your priorities and any of these generations will work to keep you comfortably during the emergency.

I know is a pain to spend this much for a just in case scenario but if you wait until you need it guess what? By then everyone else need it too and is too late you won’t find one right away when you need it. You also will need a power inlet and a soow cord and plugs 🔌 etc and everything will be sold out if you wait until las minute. Want to run your AC get an EasyStart. Think about it like an insurance, you pay for it now for when you need it.

  • @paul9387
    @paul9387 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello, so as of now the only option to have portable NG inverter generator is to purchase let's say a dual fuel one and convert it to NG, am I correct? The only downside is that a single unit can only power the house via 30amp outlet. In order to get 240V I would need to have two units where both were converted to NG, with that done I would need to split my gas into two flows somewhere. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm trying to find a best solution here.
    Regular generators non inverter have 12%-20% THD which is a big NO NO for my house.
    Thank you
