whats the difference between the 40026 and the 46514 quality ?
I can get the 40026 @ my local lowes for $280 out the door, should I pull the trigger? I just want it to be good quality like the other ones you guys dissect in this thread.. any reason I should not get it?
Going to be used for hurricane/power loss situations in Miami to power my fish tank and a couple things here and there....
I don't think there would be any difference in quality between the two, but I only have personal experience with the 40026.
The 46514 has the advantage of either 120v or 120/240 output. For RV use (why I bought mine) the 40026 is fine, it is 120v only and all the power is available on the 120v outlet. To do the same thing with the 46514, you must flip the selector switch to the 120v only position. However, having the 240v position is nice if you have a well pump or some other appliance that runs at 240v. This was not a concern for me.
$280 for the 40026? Sounds like a good deal to me! It would be completely adequate for the tasks you listed. Also, the wheel kit is nice, which I think is a separate option for the 46514.
Got ya thanks, I hope my fridge is 120V atleast...
