If you have owned a Predator (Harbor Freight) generator and have several hours on it I would like to know what you think. Thanks

I bought their 2200 watt model. Used it for two weeks at Quartzsite and took it back. They charged me 20% restocking fee but I was happy to get most of my money back. The 2000-2200 market has several other models available now and I'd look else where. Having been burned by many of the things I've purchased at HF, I'm buying less and less from them.
It was noisier than I expected and sounded tinny while it was running. I've had bad experiences with HF electric tools and didn't want to waste the entire purchase price on one of their products again. That and it was advertised to be equal to or better than a Honda - that's a joke.
I bought a HF electric pipe threader to convert my church from propane to natural gas. I had it 6 months before I used it. I threaded on piece of pipe with it and it was unfit to use. I donated it to the rummage sale and threaded the rest of the pipe by hand. I bought a 1-1/2 hammer drill and after a couple of holes, it stopped working - I threw it in the dumpster. I bought a Bosch off Craig's List to finish the job. I bought their small solar panels to keep my car charged laying them on the dash. They melted and the batteries went flat. Now I take the batteries out of the cars I leave home and put them on a float charger through the winter while I'm snowbirding. So you see I'm a little skittish about their products and can't recommend them base on my experience.
