Had to buy one the day off the bomb cyclone that hit Washington. Paid full price even though on the 25th it goes on sale for 300 off for black Friday. I didn't run it the first night, being cheap I knew I could return it for full refund if not used. But alas no power next morning so filled the oil and hooked up the propane tank did a short run no load, cool down then another light load for abit. Now we are off to the races, running about 1000 watts continuous ( tv, fridge, freezers and blower on gas furnace )with a couple of coffee maker or microwave bursts thrown in. Was able to get 11 hours out of a 20lb tank.
I had no idea what a bomb cyclone was before this comment. Seems like a pretty scary event. We have tornadoes here in OK but usually we get some sort of advanced notice. Glad the generator is working out for you and hopefully you get power back soon!
I finally bought mine after putting it off for a couple years. Big enough to run our race trailer. Quiet enough, but still more noise than I anticipated, compared to the 3500.
What a great review!! Good job man! Just picked mine up. One question I had was did you get the warranty? Not sure if these things turn out bad after a few months since there pretty new in the market Thank you
We did not buy the warranty this time. While making the review we definitely put it through its paces and since my primary use is as a backup for the house and camper, we won’t use it enough to really have a failure in the next couple years. (Hopefully) if I was buying this to run on a job site every day I 100% would have bought the warranty. If you decide you want the warranty I think you have like 30 days to add it after the fact also
I got a 25% off coupon and wanted to buy this. Looking at reviews. 1st time on your channel and new sub. Based on thr houses are you located in OKC? I live just outside of norman and was like this looks like OK based on the homes lol

Still much quieter than I expected!
Bought one 2 months ago. Ive used it every weekend in the camper at a private pond. Runs the whole unit no problem on propane. Its prettygood so far.
Very cool!
that key fob range is crazy. just hope there are no others on the same freq / code close to you.
I went to a food truck event. Most of the food trucks had Predator 5000 or 9500 generators. Thinking of getting one for the house.
For sure. I see them every day on construction sites too

Yea man..... I have an older generator...... I swear it will wake the dead. Been looking at 1 of these for awhile. Great review!!

Heck yeah! OKC for life!
I didn’t see u put any fuel stabilizer like they said to do
I did after putting it away. Good catch!
Read the instructions lol I’m a real man. I don’t need instructions lol just playing and always read your instructions.
The more money I spend the more likely I am to read the directions
That’s a 23 feed man is where they measure decibels
where mine will be parked it will have a bit lessDB’s.
i have a little dog house for it.
Wyoming!!
