Firman Generator Report
As I mentioned earlier I purchased one of the 3300/3000kw Firman Generators from Newegg.com. I have to say I was really planning on getting a Honda EU3000, but it was too tall to fit under my Snug Top Tonneau Cover. I was limited to a Powerhorse(not Powerhouse), from Northern Tool or this one. I have to say, this little guy appears to be very well put together. I'm not a big fan of buying cut rate Chinese products and I have to say the price would indicate that it could fall in that catagory. It cost $715.00 to my door. It came very well packaged and with real good instructions and manual. I put a coffee cup on the top as an indicator of the units size.
This is the top view. Nice big filtered gas fill.
This pic shows the handle to pull it around. The early verdict is that it started right up. I ran it for five hours with small loads for the break in time.........then I fired up the 13.5 A/C and it never missed a beat. It has an electric choke, electric starter, low oil shut down. The only thing I purchase to start it was the fuel. Had the battery and the oil with it. Since we have it for emergencies only it should work out fine for us. I just need to make sure I start it now and then to keep up on it's maintenance and be sure it will fire off when I need it. Has a 30a RV type plug.......
