looking at the allpower 3000/3500 & the champion 3500/4450
OSH and pepboys have the allpower $269 & $329 respectively
kragen has the champion $299, both have 6.5hp engines
I wonder why one is rated for 3000 con 3500 surge and the other is rated 3500 con 4450 surge
and i couldn't find the noise rating on the box for the champion
( i have been very happy with the way my champion 1200 has performed )
I don't need the wheel kit (champion) as i will be removing the RV geset ( Generac XP45, i dearly loved ) and placing the subsitute on the slide out tray where the RV genset is ( solves the cooling issue ) slide tray out, while running in hot weather
it's really a matter of whether that extra 500 con watts is real
DOES anybody know ?
fwiw, the champion is limited by a 15a breaker on one leg, and a 20a on the other, so max 120v power available in stock form is 2400w by my calculations. Who knows where they come up with 4450w? Maybe from calculating something on the 220 side, I dunno? Realistically though, these two generators you are talking about have the same clone engine and should perform similar to each other.
