Re: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
Richdel, If you are planning to use a generator as a house backup, doesn't it need to have three phase 220V or something? I'm not sure all generators are able to provide 220V that can replace the normal input to a house through a transfer box or that can even be split into two 110V circuits. At least I have heard some smarter people than I complain about this. Make sure you get a generator that will do the job you want, otherwise it will just be a waist of money. Now I'm going to study what allpraisebob did and see if I can follow it.363Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
whs9841, I bought the ELM-3600-SS Storm Series, which I suspect is virtually the same as the 3500. Anyway, the primary reason I picked it over the ELM-3000 was having wheels and handles to make it easy to move. I invariably end up moving things by myself. So far it has worked fine. I don't know if that helps you decide anything, but that is my two cents worth.363Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
VicT, Holy smokes it sounds like you had it bad. I also had trouble with the first shipment of my ELM3600, which I bought through their website, but it was clearly the fault of UPS and I had send it back for a new replacement. My neighbor say the UPS delivery man deliver my generator the first time. The UPS guy parked in my driveway and tossed the box with the generator in it out of the back of the truck onto the concrete driveway. Well, as you can imagine, anything that weighs 100 pounds and gets tossed onto a concrete driveway, it was severely damaged. As for the NON-DAMAGED unit that was sent the second time, so far i like it. I also really like the fact it has wheels and handles to make it easy to role around. It never fails that when I need to move heavy things I can never find help and thus have to move it by myself. So, to all units with wheels, two thumbs up.387Views0likes0Comments
