I found this geny and need some expert help from " yous guys ".
It's a Black Max, 3650 watt, 208cc OHV Engine. 4550 Start Watts / 3650 Run Watts 2- 120v 20 amp outlet 1-120v 30 amp twist lock outlet 1- 120v 30 amp outlet - RV Is this big enough to start and run a, Stand Up Deep Freeze, a Small Chest Deep Freeze, a side by side refrigerator? I know this won't run them all at the same time, but is it " Hoss Enough " to get them started and run Individually to keep the food inside from spoiling? If this is a good one what else would it run in powerless situation? As always thanks for the help! |

Well I looked at the one review and I think I should look at this one instead.
It's only $89 more and more output, plus good reviews. If anyone see's anythig neg. please give me a heads up. Thanks Again The other Generator Review of the $300 geny: $300 Generator Was this review helpful to you?YesYes|NoNo|Report inappropriate content Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 Black Max 3,650 Watt Portable Gas Generator,Date:12/12/2011By:truebee1 Read All My Reviews Bought this generator after reading the box. Thought with 3650 running watts and 4650 surge it would be a good generator for my RV. After adding oil and gas proceeded to start which took approx 15 pulls. I let it run for 30 min then shut off and tried to restart which took another 7 to 8 pulls. If you let it set for a minute or two it will start in 2 pulls. Also has alot of engine noise. Quality: 2 out of 5 Value: 3 out of 5 Pros: inexpensiveCons: quality, very hard to start, loud!Would you recommend this product to a friend? No |

It will be fine to run them all at the same time. Plug one in and wait a half hour and plug in the other ones. you want to stagger the starting of the motors. honestly, for 300 i would get a champion, because its much quieter and more fuel efficient than that one. I have had both and know the pro's and cons. all three are chinese BTW. http://www.championpowerequipment.com/products/recreational/ |

get yourself a big 3 day cooler too. you would be amazed at how long a 5 lb bag of ice will keep a cooler cold. I saved an entire 25 cubic foot refridg/freezer with 20 pounds of ice by taking some stuff out of the freezer, putting it in a 3 day cooler, then putting the balance of the ice inside the freezer part of the fridge and keeping the door shut. i did it for 5 days in the winter and the house was about 50 degrees on average inside. in TX its probably hotter than 50 degrees, but you can see how a bag of ice and a cooler would help you use less fuel running your genny. you can make blocks of ice while running your genny and use them in coolers when the genny is off. |

Know what stores have dry ice! I have seen people get angry after storms in Houston because the store was out of ice, but the Penguin cooler by the front door was still full of dry ice. And keep it away from your skin, transport it in paper bags, use towels to prevent contact, make sure ventillation is there to avoid suffocation (remote chance, but still), and so on. And about the genset –– if you have problems initially with the Chinese ones, take apart and clean the carb thoroughly. You want nitrile gloves for that. They should run OK afterwards. And know that a sine wave unit will be better than one of the units that doesn't even try to filter the power. |
