Great timing, I’m looking at this generator as we speak. A couple more months on my bass pro credit card and I should be able to get it FREE, if the price drops for Black Friday. Good vid.
Love those generators! In fact I have mine running right now charging batteries. Mines a bit harder to start now that it has a little more then 200 hours on it.
@@tomdehnert5867 you have no idea how Honda brain washed you are. Living off grid will show you a thing or two. Since living off grid I have worn out two Honda EU2000’s. The problem with Honda is soon as you start having problems repairing them cost as much as a new one. My last Honda got about 1500 hours on it before the oil pressure sensor gone bad,then it wouldn’t stay running. Not to mention the two carburetors that I had to replace a long with it just rattling it’s self a part. They are fine for weekend Warriors but not for hours and hours in the winter charging batteries.
New subscriber - great videos - instead of getting the predator 5000 would you think its ok to parallel the champion 2500 x 2 so you could shut one off when its not needed and that would also provide a backup if one fails? Thanks
Absolutely ! I love the champion and the benefit of 2 is that if you don’t need much power you can just use 1. It’s also good to have the other as a backup. Just keep in mind it won’t produce a ton of power but it’s more then enough for a fridge, lights, chargers, computer, tv, etc
I want to do a very similar setup but I'm told I have to be careful of multi-wire branch circuits that can overload the neutral when using a 120v gen set with a 240v service panel. I am thinking since this gen is limited to such low wattage, even if the neutral carried back some of the current, it wouldn't go high enough to cause a fire risk? Any thoughts on that?
Will this work if I have just an interlock kit I don’t have a transfer switch. I know I would have go turn off the 240 appliance breakers. I would like to be able to power my fridge, and lights tv etc
It really depends...in eco mode you're probably good at 1/4 load before you need to throttle up. If you pull more watts then it produces in eco mode, it just speeds up the engine to match demand so not really an issue.
Thanks for watching! An inverter produces cleaner power which is better for electronics - it’s like the power from the utility. It’s also quieter and more fuel efficient
