Excellent Product For The Money

Date:May 25, 2011

"Had a Coleman Powermate 5000W with the tecumseh engine. Very low tech. engine ran poorly, dirty power. Got this on sale for $749 and I am just so pleased so far. Hooked into my house through a proper transfer panel, it powers up lights, water pump, furnace, fridge etc. (not all things at once) Good clean power that enable my Uninterruptable Power Supplies for my electronics to function properly. sent an Email to support in California asking a question before I went to work, got my answer back that afternoon. Runs much quieter than the Coleman. I marked 5 stars for durability, but that really is yet to be seen."

Best bang for your buck

Date:November 20, 2010

"We had a tree take out the power lines to our house last year and were without power for 8 days. Had to keep the fridge, freezer, etc. going so ended up biting the bullet and bought this unit, was looking at smaller ones but wanted to run anything I wanted. This generator is amazing..not only did it run my fridge, freezer, heaters, lights,computer, etc. but also had my 52" plasma TV on it and with everything I could throw at it, it never ran over 60% capacity. Just make sure you get a good surge protector to run anything sensitive. Electric start is fantastic, easy to read gas gauge, digital read-out gives you hours run, load and output. 240v. plug is also a bonus. The only thing I could fault it with is it's a little on the loud side but just find a good place to set it up and you won't hear it. At 50-60% load I was using approx. 1 litre of gas per hour."

Can I convert it to run 210 volts?

Question:

If it can be converted to support 210 volts (for the Philippines), can it support my TV, Fridge, freezer and house lights?

Answer:

There are many online calculators for estimating the generator size required for a combination of electrical loads. The Champion site is here:

Since we do not know the specific power requirement of each of the appliances, we cannot do this calculation for you.

will this unit power a deep well pump, stove, refrigerator and a few lights?

Answer:

The stove may be an issue, especially if it is self cleaning. They can use as much as 8000 watts or more if everything is on at once.

Answer:

Yes, it should – Add up your actual electrical loads (watts). Allow for a large surge load when starting the well pump, maybe three times the running load for about one or two seconds.

Answer:

Yes, so long as you do not draw more than the unit is rated for. You may need to be selective with what circuits you power with it if you connect it all breakers.
