VERY happy with my Firman! Bought it on sale for $600 (goes on sale about twice a year) and I use strictly propane, because I can store several propane containers and not have to worry about it going bad. Highly recommend

Here’s a thing he’s gotta try…. I’ve had 2 Firman Gennys…. But they haven’t been inverters. One was a 7000 and the newer one is a tri-fuel 9000. A very important thing we noticed…. It’s much quieter on propane. Also much cheaper to run these days. I don’t know if the inverters will display the same behaviour…. But you should measure on propane and see.

I have the Predator 3500 and use it for camping. Easy to roll out of the back of my camping utility trailer. Use it to charge my 200 AH AGM battery that keeps my camping fridge cold. Also use it to charge batteries for 3 eBikes. Plenty of power to charge everything at the same time. Very impressed with how quiet it is on eco mode. Seems quieter than most of the other generators I walk by in the campgrounds.

@winstonrobinson67325 ай бұрын
The firman has the plug for an rv cord to plug right in while the predator will require a mod/connector. The delay on the firman allows you to go ahead and plug in your rv plug and then the unit has a delay much like at a campground power source where you would plug everything in and then flip the circuit breaker on the campground power outlet - this works great. When you are ready to cut the generator off you need to unplug the rv cord first and then power down the generatorl

My dad bought that same Firman from Costco. I have the Predator 3500. His isn't terribly loud, but the Predator is quieter. I have been asked at least twice while out camping what generator I had because it was so quiet. However, I will admit... - I installed a wheel kit because those tiny wheels are useless. - It's jetted for sea level out of the box. If you are more than 2500-3000 ft. above sea level, take the time to jet it to your altitude. I had to buy mine. Firman made my dad take it to an authorized repair facility, but they covered the cost of getting the high altitude jet installed. - They make kits for for adding propane to the Predator, but with the Firman you get it out of the box. - I installed a remote start in my 3500. Well worth the money. I do like my generator, but when you boil it all down, I think if I got the propane kit it would be nearly perfect, but now I'm in about as much as the Predator 5K that has all this out of the box and more power.

I also want to add that propane is quieter than gasoline on the same generator because it it less dense. That is why the power is a bit lower using propane and you'll notice the consumption will be more costly. I've though about connecting the main propane line in my RV up to one of these with a remote start and making it semi-permanent install. Such as a ventilated storage closet with the connections and some extensions, and have it reasonable to remove for distance or other mobile uses.

The Firman outlet covers only lasted a year stored covered in my garage. Apparently the plastic really doesn't like the ozone in Arizona. Other than that, really good, cheap, and VERY quiet (for a generator). Pretty sure I got it on sale at $499 or $599. I still have a more powerful Champion that got me through a couple of hurricanes when I lived in South Florida, but it isn't an inverter generator (but is dual fuel). It was what Amazon had in stock that could be delivered before a hurricane was supposed to hit, and is really loud (you can also hear the difference a modified sine wave makes on things like a fan motor). I really recommend the dual fuel, propane stores pretty much indefinitely.

While the thirty miles away Costco isn't big on returns, but I haven't tried a generator so maybe it depends on the product or if your try for a refund instead of swap out.

DUDE change the oil...it's an AIR COOLED ENGINE! they use oil up a lot faster than liquid cooled and it's one of the quickest ways of destroying an engine..unless you could care less about spending the money to keep buying new ones then whatever. I hope your vehicles get the TLC they need LOL!

ha i know..whats crazy is ive had an electrical issues on generators in the past (it would fire no problem but power wouldnt transfer to the panel), but never issues with them starting or running. But dont worry i have done the maintenance on the generators and my pressure washer since this video. I do maintain them but definitely not on the schedule thats recommended

Predator is trash. When they run they run great but I’m always running into issues with them

The Firman is difficult to service the air filter and battery . Good info on the generators but you said you do not do oil changes or Maintenace or the Harbor Freight generator ? OMG this is not good . I guess you predator will be fried / burn up some day . All engines need oil changes ------

1. hundreds of videos already have been done on these. 2. Its funny that your doing a video on generators that california (where you live) wants to ban people from buying/using.

It’s only a prototype but you might enjoy seeing this combo generator + pressure washer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oprPdoeKnaZgaJIsi=cJ-PuTHR0Ox01sxS&t=347

This is a BS review. You have the predator exhaust pointing away and you have the Firman pointing at the camera. Lies lies and lies. Why are you being shady?
