I have a farm and I purchased a Harbor Freight 8500 watt generator about 15 years ago . I'm ashamed to say I've only changed the oil in it maybe twice and I've run it very many hours dealing with cows and power outages and usage for tools and it sits outside in my pickup truck bed uncovered and still works perfect after 15 years

I bought this wen in Feb when I caught it on sale for 699 on Amazon. Best move I ever made. I am 8 days into hurricane ida. I have been running this bad boy for 20 hrs a day. 12k window unit. Both fridges. 3 fans. Lamps and TV all on ECO at 50% load! 8 hrs of run time. This inverter is a beast of a machine. Anyone looking for a inverter I swear to god you will not be disappointed. Only draw back is it did come with a shit battery. No clue why. I went to batteries plus and got a better one. Update. Just got power back. Ran this guy for 18 days straight. No issues. Very very impressed

I own two of the predator 3500’s for my 5th wheel and power outages at home. They are outstanding generators and really quiet. My Yamaha 2000 is louder than my predators. I run non-ethanol gas w/ seafoam, synthetic mobile one oil, and an upgraded spark plug. I’ve also disconnected the kill switch so when I turn the knob to off it remains running until it burns all of the gas in the carb. I exercise them once a month for 30 minutes. They have never let me down and are very fuel efficient. My only complaint is that they weigh about 100lbs and are difficult to lift with an arthritic back.

I have six 3500's for my home and work and RV. The top of the Predator fuel filler neck is the terminus for a (hard to see but it's there) small tube that is connected to the carbon evap canister that is connected to the carburetor air intake. It's essential to never fill the Predator with fuel while it's running nor above the red level tab in the filler neck. If liquid gets sucked into the EVAP tube it'll ruin the carbon in the canister. Thus changing the fuel air mix at the carburetor. You may get away with it a couple times, but soon enough it'll ruin the canister and the generator won't come off idle because it'll starve for air.. No cure, no replacement part available. The KZbin fixes are all bogus. It's the reason guys are drilling holes in the side of the housing to get more air in - but with time that fails and the generator pukes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaerg3qDj7iEh9k

Regarding your reading for the Wren- Take this with a grain of salt, but using DAFX decibel meter I am getting readings of 63 decibels at 23' non eco, and 58 decibels in eco, exhaust facing away. At 23' facing the exhaust there is a difference of about 2 decibels. Having said this the meter you use seems to have a huge impact. For example using my phone for a meter gave me results of 58 up to 72db depending on which app I used. Ultimately I'm confident the meter I used was the most accurate. The generator seems to be within a few db of every other generator of the size and rating. Thankyou for the great work you do though! I very much appreciate it, however it seems odd our numbers are so far apart.

Yea I use a designated sound meter now and try to measure in the same spot. Which you could see in newer test videos. But I always measure on concrete which will be the loudest. By adding rocks or bushes and even grass can change the numbers a lot. But I did test all these units except the wen generator in a later video. But correct most all units I test except Honda read about 60-62 db in eco mode. And thank appreciate it 😀👍🏼

This was a great test and comparison. I think if you're camping and noise is important, the Predator 3500 is the better choice. If using in situations where you can afford a bit more noise, the Wen 3800 offers amazing features and performance. Both greats at any price point, especially when comparing them with their "target"...Honda. I have owned a handful of Predator and a Wen unit and the behavior you described with the engine ramp up with new loads is spot on. I think that's how the Predator achieves much lower sound levels, they have their RPM strategy down to a science. The Wen tends to rev much higher for a second or so before settling. However, it must be said that could also contribute to the Wen's ability to maintain a higher voltage with the same loads. Thanks for your thorough review of both units! Can't go wrong with either.

@johnnysweekends3 жыл бұрын
You can read the manual and it gives you a idea but for me building many small race engines it has never taken me longer then maybe 20 mins to break in a engine. For the generators I would just do heat cycles with small to heavy loads for about 20 secs then bring it back down slow to no load and shut off. Then about 30 minutes do it a couple more times and you would be about done. That’s if you really wanna break one in which I bet less then ten percent break in a generator or make it they 50 percent of the manual. Heat cycle break in..... Start gen.... leave eco of let run for a about 3 minutes to warm up. Start with small load, and increase every 10 secs to full load for 10 to 20 secs and gradually bring down load back to no load for about 1 minute and shut down. Wait 30 minutes or till engine is cool and go again. 3 to 4 times should be plenty. But that’s my way or just read the manual and follow that. But again I won’t let it run for 4 hrs to break something in when I have built enough small motors and then tear apart at 50 to 100 to inspect and they look great with only minutes of break in.

Or should I just spend the extra money on the 3500 for the rare times when I'll need the extra wattage?

The predator 2000 runs a clone Yamaha mz80 motor like some wen models which are exactly the same gen just different plastic. They are made from a company in China which there are alot. I think Zongshen is who makes that in Chongqing China. The predator 3500 is made from a company called loncin in the same city I believe. Watch the single predator 3500 review video i included a couple tidbits. The powerhouse is the same as the 3500 running a Honda clone gx200 motor but 212cc. I would buy the Aipower for the sake of not needing a parallel adapter or the champion gen with the 3 year limited warranty and because how super quiet and light they are. The saying is still true, if your not buying Honda or yamaha your buying everything else. And at that point get the best deal with most reliability or warranty. But dont get a firman 2000, poor design.

@markashlock90173 жыл бұрын
To me, the Predator is a no brainer, and not just comparing it with the Wen, but most any comparably powered generator out there when you compare price and warranty. The nice thing about purchasing the HF Extended Warranty, is at the end of 2 years (or anytime in your 2 year warranty period) , you just go in and tell them your unit isn’t running as well as it did when new, and they will give you a NEW one, no questions ask. NOBODY ELSE DOES THAT! This can be especially important if you have high usage. I have both the 3500 and it’s little sister, the 2000 which I literally have several hundreds of hours on under almost max loads. Problem I had was, when my warranty was running out on the 2000, it had preformed so flawlessly, that I just couldn’t bring myself to replace it, fearing the replacement wouldn’t be as good as the one I had. They both have really been “bulletproof”. Lastly, I purchase Inverter Generators, which are vastly more expensive than Open Frame Generators, for one reason...The “Quietness Factor”. The Predator being around 3 db’s quieter then the Wen is HUGE!!! The way the human ear perceives sound, every 3-5 db’s doubles the perceived loudness. Definitely the best BANG...oops...shhh... ”bang” for the buck!
