Power Pro Technology 1000 Watt Generator - Running a full size LG refrigerator

[@arnoldaltjr.2099]

I have the same one and it holds a full gallon and runs more than 4 hours. If you use them on a regular basis they start easily but if they sit for a few months they are hard starting. Removing the plug and adding a little gas works but this is better.Just add a primer. So easy to do. Look behind the air intake area at the carb. Drill a small 3/16 -1/4 inch hole in the plastic directly in line with the center of the carb intake. Then using a small squirt bottle appropriate to the hole size containing the same fuel you mixed for the tank tilt the jenny backwards and squirt some fuel thru the hole into the carb. Set it back down, choke it and pull the rope. Will start without wearing out the recoil. Back in the early days of snowmobiling those old single lung 2 cycles started bad all the time. Instead of buying primers that had to be cut into the fuel line and didn't last we used empty squirt bottles from household products. Raised the hood, gave the carb a squirt and we were on our way.

@0:58 Ain't there a "prime" pump on the thing ..??? It is also kinda loud...what is the db rating on this?

[@45AMT]

I have the Harbor Freight model. It ran my Samsung refrigerator during Hurricane Matthew for 3 days and saved our food. my generator is only rated for 900w max.

[@sschevmale24]

No way. You serious? I just sold mine

[@doughesson]

What about the surge load for the fridge? wouldn't that big down the generator?

[@rogerlong6929]

I bought one from Blain's as you suggested , I like it , runs good , 3 hrs. so far . One strange thing , my gas tank only holds half a gallon . It runs for 2 hrs. on the full tank . Looks like all the 63cc engine models .

I love how the closed caption says [music] 🤣🤣🤣

[@codybrewer8038]

Yea I have an older model it’s about 6-9years old and it always fires right up I try to clean the carb on it once a year but it will run about 6-7 hours depending on the load

[@mannykisa4437]

Running anything above the voltage produced by the machinery itself will cause overload. You can tell when it’s idle and kind of revs. I tried it with a 2000 watt inverter MI-T-M

[@ElChalis]

Can you use a welder with it?

[@ernest9606]

No way

[@arnoldaltjr.2099]

Another thing I found with this model the reset for the DC battery charge is very sensitive and kicks out often.

[@cafepuya]

Did you wait until the compressor kicks on? it dies? I'm pretty sure is over 1000W for couple of seconds when kicks on. Maybe its max wattage is 600 but it should run between 120W-200W average, but take a look on defrost mode and when the compressor kicks in, ... if you have no issues, its a great generator. Mine dies when the compressor kicks in. I have an Allpower America 1200w surge 1000W running.

[@UtahParents]

New refrigerators don't draw that much power. I ran it for a couple hours and the compressor cycled multiple times without any issue. I've also ran the same fridge off a lithium power bank and I don't think I saw it go over 500 watts on the display.

[@martinwagner2219]

What about when the compressor kicks on? How many amps is it pulling when the compressor kicks on? It’s a 15 watt max cable right?

[@UtahParents]

No problems at all when the compressor cycles on this fridge. I've since ran it with a battery power station and the power station has no trouble keeping it running. This generator can do it without breaking a sweat, but I prefer the power station.

[@martinwagner2219]

@@UtahParents do you know the amperage you’re pulling when the compressor runs?

[@UtahParents]

@@martinwagner2219 it's been a while since I've measured it, so I can't remember exactly, but I think it only maxed out at 4 or 5 amps.

[@shawng5799]

Our UK fridge is about a third the size of that one and only draws 65watts. I would guess you throw most of your food away because there is clearly too much to eat.

[@_noname617]

thanks for sharing i have the same model and haven't used it... yet

[@Delid]

How long do you think it will run on a tank of gas before it shuts down?

[@misssincere5762]

He said 1 gallon is like 5 to 6 hours. I work from home so I need this.

[@averagejoe6897]

The tailgator one at harbor freight they you have to have change the spark plug would you recommend that for this model deciding witch one to buy

[@UtahParents]

I'm not sure about the spark plug. The tailgator has lower output, so I didn't get it.

[@averagejoe6897]

I ended up settling on the firman 1050 pretty good buy from Costco

[@bigdog7914]

UtahParents Replace the spark plug, first pull!

[@deepakgurung3853]

How much fuel consumption in half load?

[@JohnathanLimCheng]

How many watts you fridge uses?

[@UtahParents]

I think the peak is around 600 maybe. Running watts is much lower.

[@rogerlong6929]

My question is ,where did you buy it ? It was made by the same factory as the Harbor Freight only made with extended features . The engine is certainly allowed to be more than the 2HP of HF model which isn't hard to do with 63cc and a little tweaking in the throttle arm on the carb.

[@UtahParents]

Roger Long I bought it online from Blain's Farm and Fleet. They had a great price and shipped it fast.

[@narcissistinjurygiver2932]

i just bought one that is 1200/1000 watt on ebay. search 2 stroke generator. 104.00 shipped.

[@danteerskine7678]

@@UtahParents fridges don't consume electricity that much compared to air conditioners . Where it will have a hard time starting an AC, it won't have any problem with a fridge. It's pretty remarkable knowing that your fridge is big

[@iamarxalan]

Do Canadian people really need a refrigerator? its extremely cold area even at summer I have seen a pretty chilly weather. please answer me.

[@doughesson]

I have 3 1000 Watt gennies to lend my neighbors who use cpaps to sleep with.

[@roonytoon]

Really? Sounds to me like it tried to start the compressor and couldn't. That fridge is 5.2 amps but probably surges to over 10 when the compressor kicks on. Sure the lights are on but I don't think it's cooling.

[@UtahParents]

Steve Rooney you're right that the engine bogged down when the compressor started, but the fridge ran like a champ. I ran it on the generator for over an hour and the temperature dropped 6 degrees in that time. It was definitely cooling normally.

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

Looks like the starter was very weak! Hahaha

[@luisdaniel75]

This fridge is equipped with inverter compressor, so I don't think it has a big peak when it kicks on.

[@daniellujan9633]

Runs 5 hours CONTINOUSLY ?

[@codybrewer8038]

Yea I have an older model it’s about 5-6 years old and it always fires right up I try to clean the carb on it once a year but it will run about 6-7 hours depending on the load

[@codybrewer8038]

It’s more like 7-9 years old 😂

[@daniellujan9633]

I Buy once more big and powerful, 3,500 watts. This comment is when i no have an idea of these machines. I use the generator for a food truck and runs fine

[@rogeliogabrielontiveros7522]

I was given a power pro 1000 watt 2.4 hep 4 stroke generator . Brand new in the box . It runs but doesn't produce power

[@doughesson]

With the generator not running,plug in a power drill & hand turn the drill backwards to recharge the magnet in the generator.

[@rajeshpanjawificonnectionf3216]

How much price

[@smackdowner]

Does this model give off a lot of carbon monoxide?I hear these gas generators can be dangerous if to close to the house

[@UtahParents]

It's a 2 stroke engine, so I'm sure it doesn't burn too clean. You certainly want it plenty far from a house and where there's plenty of fresh air circulation.

[@juanborges8192]

Powerpro or powersmart its the same maxhiney

[@steveeisenberg6189]

It's so small that I can keep it inside. Starting it frozen would probably not be fun.

[@UtahParents]

Just make sure you only run it outside!

[@willnewman7485]

Yeah Steve I agree with what Utahparents said. Let this run outdoors because you can die if the carbon dioxide levels rise in a building. Since it’s a gas engine it should fire right up in cold weather even if it hasn’t run in a while

[@iamarxalan]

[@fwoodman]

I would never run my fridge using this generator

[@frankdestra6576]

Sounds like i little quad lol . kind of loud

[@cbull1008]

It's funny how they show the lights on and say it working fine...lol we want to hear and see the Compressor running.....lol

[@UtahParents]

The compressor is running. Cold air is coming out. It's a quiet fridge with a linear compressor. I let the fridge run for over an hour on the generator and it performed flawlessly.

[@metaljoe9088]

It is an inverter fridge. It uses little electricity
