Title: New style generator by Briggs & Stratton.....quiet as a Honda Post by: greenmachine on June 02, 2006, 12:25:57 PM but much cheaper. It is a 2000watt with a 3000 watt surge power(which the Honda eu2000 doesnt have). I have one in stock & it sells for $649. I started it & it was really quiet, it has 2 110vac outlets & 2 cigarette lighter type plugs, also comes with a battery charging cord. BTW the Honda EU2000 retails at $1079.99. This is a great camp generator or track generator. I wish we had them in time for the tax break.

and super quiet ;-) a few have had coffee on a cold morning at Big Scrub when I plugged the coffee maker into it. Id@ Title: Re: New style generator by Briggs & Stratton.....quiet as a Honda Post by: Fox17 on June 02, 2006, 04:16:57 PM would it run a 8000 btu ac unit and other stuff?
Title: Re: New style generator by Briggs & Stratton.....quiet as a Honda Post by: greenmachine on June 02, 2006, 04:27:24 PM OHMS LAW states amps x volts = watts. Thats all I can tell you. I get the "Will it wun my AC?" everyday. I wouldnt know unless the answer to this formula is less than the generator power. I know my Honda ex650 will run my 52" Toshiba Big Screen.
Title: Re: New style generator by Briggs & Stratton.....quiet as a Honda Post by: Ida_Mann on June 02, 2006, 09:26:51 PM dunno about the 8K BTU, but a typical 5K BTU burns about 500 watts,,,,,,so even my 1500 watt inverter will run it easily.

I know my Honda ex650 will run my 52" Toshiba Big Screen. I have been an EE for almost 20 years. Ohm's law is always true, but a compressor has a heavy amp draw when starting, and will often pop a breaker. If the running Amps are say 15, the inrush amps could be say 60 or higher, but only for a fraction of a second, but enough to trip the breaker. |
