What small generator to get

Oskar_Z28 · 04-29-2021, 04:01 PM

Need something for camping, track days - power a fan, some lights, chargers, warmers, possibly small heater (but not necessary). Needs to be quiet and fuel efficient. Leaning to Honda Eu2200i. Yamaha makes one but it's louder. Any reccomendations where to buy one locally?

This is what you need
If you buy two you can pare them up and power up an RV 30AMPS
Very quiet

I've been running predator stuff lately and I can't see any reason to NOT run them.

Currently I have 2 predator 3500's but you could probably get a 2000watt and be fine. https://www.harborfreight.com/genera...tor-62523.html

If not, I HIGHLY recommend a 3500 - https://www.harborfreight.com/genera...tor-63584.html

These can be had used for $450-500.

Dude, I should have taken a screenshot... It was not even $300 when I posted... and yes, predators are good and quite

I have 2 of the powerhorse brand (older models). One is like the one linked, the other is 5500 watts with electric start.
They have both been used heavily for 5 years. Always start on first or second pull, run quiet and the smaller will run a 10,000BTU window unit A/C.
Keep the oil changed and you'll be good to go.
