just checking back in, took the powerpro 3250 to NASCAR this weekend in NH, it was hot as all heck, so it ran almost all evening (from about 5 to the 10 pm curfew) with the air on full, a TV with DVD running, a couple of lights, the fridge, etc., didn't run the microwave, it didn't whine a bit, also needed to keep the battery up (need a new one i guess, kept running down pretty easily), it used about 1.5 gallons of gas over the 3 nights (and was on a bit during the daytime), started on the first pull each time, wasn't any louder than anything else around us, in fact, it was quieter than most of what we could hear, the hondas are VERY quiet though ;), still not worth the 2-3X price tag......
it did blow some oil out the exhaust the first night it ran (was the longest it's run since bought) but it wasn't doing that after the first night, i think i mentioned that there was no line for filling the oil and initially we overfilled the oil (it wouldn't run and was spraying oil everywhere, dripping out of the filter, etc), so now i'll change the oil for the winter, tried to run it dry last night, but curfew came sooner than running out of gas!
