I used my Power Pro for its 1st "real world" test this past weekend at the NASCAR race in Dover. Previously, it was tested in my driveway.
Anyway, it worked great except it developed a noise that seems to becoming from inside the recoil starter area. Its like something came loose and is rattling around or the recoil spring has gotten some sort of nervous condition. VERY ANNOYING and made the sound go WAY up!!! I had a similar problem with a lawnmower in the past. This started after aprox. 5 hours of use(not continous). I am still pleased enough with the unit that I will take my chances and exchange it at Pep Boys for another.
As far as the units operation, as I said it worked great, even with the noise. Sunday night after the race was the only time we really needed the A/C and I was able to use the A/C, make a pot of coffee, watch TV and then play a DVD up until "quiet time" at 11pm. I had other combinations of electric appliaces on too at different times and still the Power Pro worked like a champ.
Hopefully this noise problem is a one time deal. Once I get a new unit I hope that it wont happen again.
THANK YOU for all of the great advice in this topic!!
