Generator - Event Date: 14 Jul 2017

Originally posted by mcarter I am not lazy but in tune. My Generac does what I want it to do, and I understand the limitations. So I am happy. I agree you can purchase bigger happy, but I chose not to do that, I chose a genset I can maneuver and meets my needs. Lot of products out there. Mine does what I need.

There are lots of choices for folks to consider. If I were wanting to purchase a genset today, I would be looking for something smaller, maybe 1000 watts. 99.9% of the time, I just use mine for battery charging.

Yes, the link posted does not work.

I'll do it the old fashioned way.

No it's not a Honda but weighs almost exactly the same as one or a Generac. Is as quiet, consumes about the same amount of gas as one and has 25% more power and costs half the price.

Just about everyone that buys a small or smaller model gen wishes it was a little bit bigger. Or has to turn things off to do this or that. Well this one is a lot less expensive. No need to turn off the converter to run the micro or A/C with this unit. It will do both all while being portable.

Hey, if you're up to spending $1000-$1500 on a similar unit knock yourself out. It's a generator not a smartphone. It only has one purpose.

I still love the dg3000 inverter I bought from Scooter wholesale for $479, (all in ,no tax no shipping fee). Runs the A/C except when it's 97 degrees at 9000 ft up in the Sierras. It's real quiet on econ mode when charging the batteries. Iv'e put 20 hours on it in the last year and it starts first or second time every time.

Disconnect the battery or turn the Converter CB OFF, that disables the charging circuit, I can run my AC with a 2K.
