harbor freight 2200watt generator

depends on what you need to use it for. It won't run a roof a/c unit that's for sure, or a microwave. Those have too much of a start up wattage spike for that unit to handle.

X2 on above. If you want to power something like an AC or MW you'll need a 2800w or more. I debated a long time before buying my Yamaha3000......but 6 years later I have no regrets.

I have a yamaha 2400 and it will run my ac. I would look at the harbor freight one to see how quite it is.

on specs its a little bit louder not much. A little heavier not sure on run time its less but it dosent tell you tank size.

My Honda 2000 ran my ac on my lance max 9 hours straight on a 110 degree day and night on the beach..with a spare tank..
Just had to run the fridge on lp. And didn't need the microwave..

thanks gbopp I didn't link it right

It will run many of the newer truck camper A/C's and certainly will run most truck camper microwaves. My Honda 2000I does both.

I was looking for what you guys think about it compared to the Honda. I know there are a lot of threads about how much power you may need to run this or that. Many guys use the Honda 2000 and it runs $999 and this one is $499 do you think it will compare to the Honda. I could buy two of these for the same price.

In general, HF quality of products is low end 'homeowner' . Most products do not hold up on a professional level. Replacement parts are avl. for Honda / Yamamha etc . Not so sure about HF products .

My friend uses a diff. model HF generator in his cabin and its loud .
Will HF return it if you don't like it , if so , try it .
