Engine 210 cc DuroMax OHV 4-stroke
Voltage AC: 120/240V 60 Hz, DC: 12V
Power
Gasoline / Propane
Running watts 3,850 W 3,658 W
Starting watts 4,850 W 4,608 W
Running amps (@120/240V) 32.1/16 amps 30.5/15.2 amps
Peak amps (@120/240V) 40.4/20.2 amps 38.4/19.2 amps
Run time @50% load 10 h 9 h
Run time @25% load 23 h 18 h
Pros:
-240 volt can connect to a transfer switch and a house panel
-somewhat fuel efficient for a conventional but only when lightly loaded
- at 25% load can run up to 23 hours per 4 gallon tank gasoline 4 gal (fuel consumption around 0.17 GPH) ( 25% loaded ~800 watts ). If propane is used, it can operate for up to 18 hours 25 % load on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.26 GPH.
- at 50% load or only 1900 watts fuel consumption increases greatly to 0.4 GPH allowing only 10 hours run time on gasoline. If anticipated load is 2 kw or above better fuel economy with more watts/gallon is achieved with a 274 cc or larger generator.
-durable and reliable for small heating and pumping needs such as a space heater, counter top appliance
-select applications where 3600 watts of low quality power is acceptable and propane use is desired
Cons:
-Sold by Woot!
-3600 watts is too low to be of much use for house backup other than very basic needs
-under-powered 210 cc will damage equipment from voltage sag and surge if heavy loads are applied
-Heavy and bulky for its class
Champion 100519 open frame inverter has dropped to $500 several times this year. safe to use with home electronics it it rated 6250/5000 on gasoline. Dual fuel cost more. Inverters by design are less durable especially for electric heating which does not require clean power.
