Hey I don't usually do this but thanku Gavin that was pretty damm thorough I kind of had some questions being it's a Harbor Freight product but you did pretty good job answering just about everything I had
I was looking at the firman 1700 for a while, then found an open box predator 1400 at a store nearby for about $370 with taxes .. I ended up buying it with a 500wh power station to use in tandem (power small electronics and charge it with the predator).
Did the yellow blinking light resolve itself? Seemed like a first time use. Does it have anything to do with the carbon monoxide shut off sensor? Manual says not to use generator until the issue re: blinking yellow light is fixed. Appreciate your insight! Thx!!
@@mannyfragoza9652 yes the price is a bit high. I'm sure the mark up is huge. Probably costs about 20 or 30 US dollars or less in China to make that and being sold for $450 or so is a bit steep. $280 is a fair price for that product. Ai POWER has a 1500 watt that can be had for low $300s but beware there is a low price Ebay scammer right now, be wary on low price generators look at their positive negative history. GAVIN, MABE YOU CAN DO A VIDEO, see ebay, low price generators have no sales history and they've stolen my money and ebay is impossible to contact.
@@thornyturtleranch4u I'm a regular ebay user and just got a refund this week. and one a couple of months ago. I have zero problems getting refunds from ebay. But I always liked the Predator line of Generators they seem to always get their share of positive reviews. This is actually the first time i think the priced is a little steep for a H.F. generator, they are usually reasonably priced.

Thank you for your tutorial. Question how can you tell how much gas is in the generator?
Thanks for watching. Most of the smaller gens don't have fuel gauges but if you open the tank you can clearly see the fuel level.
Good question
Website said something bout a gas stablizer...can u tell me info on this please

Yes when you have a CO detection and you restart the generator it blinks for a little while but it does resolve
How do you ground the generator?
I looked though the manual but it only said to ground it but didn't show how
On the front of the generator is a ground lug you can connect your generator there.
Thank you, this is very helpful.
Glad I could help
Can this run a ac window unit 5000 btu?
I would consider a 2000w it would have a hard time starting the AC
Running watts should be around 500 for that a/c Long as it starts should have no problem
Grounding?
It have a grounding point on the front of the unit
@@GeneratorReviews i know
@@thewonderingbuddhist6123 sorry I didn’t get what you were asking
@@GeneratorReviews I don’t understand what ur talking about does it have to be grounded to somthing?
Can I charge a standard refrigerator?
Yes it will power and run a full size refrigerator
did it come with oil?
No it doesn’t come with oil
the H.F. PREDATOR will be in competition with the Honda 1000?
i like the unit but the price is a little high, if it goes on sale i might get one

Ebay scams are real sorry you got burnt buddy.

Nice job
Thanks for watching
That generator is so small, you could probably fit it in a Faraday bag and be the only guy in town with power when the next EMP happens
Great video! You answered all my questions! Keep up the good work!
Thanks
Nice review
Thanks
Good thing it detects cobalt.
Cobolt?
@@GeneratorReviews lol you kept saying co sensor instead of co2.
@@Runslik3Wind lol my bad
1100's a lie..thing bogs down running 500 watts unless somehow I got a defective one..
Sounds like you have a clogged carburetor jet
My shit don't and i got the same one
