What do you guys think?? Would you buy this model or something else??
I bought one last week,ran my 5th wheel camper all weekend,ac,microwave ceiling fan,toaster,tv,and elect waterheater,refrigerator, lights.ran without a problem.
Nice. Figured it should be good for most people’s needs…👍🏼
Thanks for the comment and thanks again for watching 👍🏼😀
@@johnnysweekends I have Predator 3500 as well. When its time to upgrade, the Power Horse 4500 will be my next move.
Same gen, more power and options, why not..👍🏼
@@johnnysweekends so which 4500 would you say is the best to get? westinghouse, cummins, powerhorse or champ? Thank you!!!
*100% best **Generater.Systems** I have used. A test for hurricane prep here in Louisiana: three AC units, 5000, 5000 & 8000, 3 fridges, 2 device power setups, 4 flat screens....AND I had 40% of the power meter to spare.*
6500 watts of power
Bought the 3500 Predalatator in 2017, it would not start after it was shut off and re-fueled. Returned to Harbor's Fright. Same year (2017) bought a new EM4000SX for $1999 and kept for 4 yrs. In 2021 sold it for $1750. In Jul/2021 bought a new EU3000IS for $1984 at Lowes w/military discount. In Dec/2023 bought a new EF4500ISE for $2699 from Amazon/Cyber monday sale. Both are up for sale. Am upgrading to the EU7000IS, $4500 at Home Depot with military disc. I steer clear of the Chiner Branded gens. F.y.i. = my EU3000IS and my EF4500IS were manufactured in Japan (high quality). The new EU7000IS is now made in India. I guess we'll see how that goes? Anyway, great vid as always Johnny! Cheers.
Yea unfortunately all Yamaha gens are now in china from what I have seen and Honda is working that way slowly it seems as well. Still japan for some models and Thailand i think and India as well. And thank you.
@@johnnysweekends One last F.y.i. regarding the EM4000SX: Although made in Chiner, I believe it was manufactured to Honda's exacting specs. In the 4 yrs. I owned it, not one, zero issues. For an open frame, non-inverter it was less than half the sound level any competitor. With the "auto-throttlle" on, it was even quieter. The "igx-270" engine was a beast. It could run the RV 15k a/c, the 6 gal. elec. w/h and the microwave (700 watts) simultaneously without breaking a sweat. In addtition to "auto-throttle", it had an elec. choke. Our low temps get down to +10 degrees F. With one turn of the key, the engine fired right up. The auto choke worked perfect, I never used the manual choke once. Honda discontinued the 4000 and now make the EM5000SX. If I were a contractor, I would not hesitate to buy one.
See I think those are good heavy duty units and great for the construction world. Or even back up unit on a farm or a area with a little space that way it doesn’t matter how loud it is. 👍🏼
Great review. Quick, clear and concise. Finally a video without all the superfluous BS and pre-resume’ garbage or needless distractions. Very refreshing for once. Thanks
You’re welcome…. That’s how I prefer..🤷♂️
Thanks for the comment and thanks again for watching 👍🏼😀
I'm good l well keep my 3500 l got it a pawn shop for 400$ with 24 hour on it. Love it.
It’s all about the deal..👍🏼
I would have bought this over my Predator. At one point in the past month, it was the same price I paid (accounting for the $100 gift card they gave)
Predator thinks that unit is gold now.
I would buy several other units over it
This video was unbelievably informative and helpful!!!
Glad it helped 😀👍🏼
I have the red one and I put a piece of foam between the wheel and the lock plate. I think i used a short piece of pipe insulation. It doesn't rattle at all now.
Yea I figured they would have upgraded it…🤷♂️ at least a little I mean why not
If this 4500 generator is exactly the same as the predator 3500 with exactly the same engine... then what makes this generator produce more wattage? Does anyone know?
It’s just a different inverter board which holds different electronics and capacitors.
And I assume more copper windings on the alternator to help produce more power. But everything else is pretty much identical and possible you could upgrade a predator 3500 if they kept the connections the same.
Don’t know.
It would be nice off the generators had thumbscrews instead of screws that required screwdrivers.
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 👍🏼😀
Thank you
You’re welcome 👍🏼😀
Does anyone know what the bolt size is for the choke throttle knob? Mine rattled out and it disappeared. I have called and searched and haven't been able to get the answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hmm it’s the same as the predator engine 212cc rato if I remember.
Mechanic's safety 101 NEVER attach the negative cable first on any battery !
Thought it was the other way around?
My house has a four prong input receptacle. May I use a 3 to 4 adapter to connect?
Yes!!
Random question, but out of all the generators you've tested, which one is most fuel efficient for running a 15k ac??? Or lasted the longest I guess you could say..
That’s hard to say with so many variables.
Size of engine
Heat or ambient temperature
And as far as longevity that can come down to owner.
For the most part Honda and Yamaha typically last the longest. And funny how I do not hear many problems with Yamaha but have been hearing more with Honda.
The knock off brands you just have to make sure you buy a extended warranty.
But many people have reported with predator or champion and more having several thousand hours on small units and larger units. You just have to maintain them and not run them at 75% and above capacity all the time.
I guess the sweet spot is 40-60% from the off grid guys. They put thousands of hours on gens.
It should be federally mandated that all generators should be fuel injected. So, they can run effectively at all altitudes. Thanks
Propane works great at altitude as well..😀👍🏼
we don't want the government to make more mandates/laws.
🔥 Nice..!!! And Thanks.!!!
👍🏼😀
I have a question today I used this equipment and I see link gas while hose on floor do you know what happens?
Hmm not sure I understand your question. You have gas on the floor from a hose? Like the drain hose from the carb?
@@johnnysweekends the equipment has a small hose at the bottom and when I turned it on it started to pour gasoline through that small hose I don't know what's going on with this equipment
It sounds to me like the float is stuck open letting fuel continuously fill the float bowl then over flow. Possibly need to be taking apart and cleaned. Maybe try tapping on the bowl a couple times and see.
Great review, cant wait for the face off with the predator. Because im torn between the two of them
Less then two weeks … hoping for 7 days..👍🏼
The predators are great I have owned 2 of them the only thing I don't like about the predator is the 3 month warranty. HF wants to to by an extended warranty whick I believe is about 150 dollars making the predator more expensive. The power horse has more wattage and a 3 year warranty. That being said the power horse is the better deal. The predator and the power horse have the same engine made it the same factory so I don't know why HF makes you pay extra for a warranty. My money would go for the power horse.
@@mikepolk5990 does northern tool give you a hassle if the machine has a problem. Because we all know horbor fright swap things out no question. With there extended warranty they have
I agree !
@@waltergray9182 I am not really sure about northern tools warranty I just know that it is a 2 year warranty included in the price. I do get what your saying that I do believe HF warranty is no questions asked which is a good point. I am just looking at the value with more wattage for pretty much the same money. You do make good point though.
Do you have to break this in for hours or is it oil up and ready to go?
Well I don’t know many people who break in lawn mowers, so kinda yea and no.
It’s a good idea to vary the load for the first 20/30 minutes doing heat cycles.
This will break in the generator coils and the engines a little.
After 20 minutes change oil and you’re kinda good to go.
I do have a recent break in video
I just tried to start mine i think its flooded out. Any suggestions it won't start?
If its flooded you normally can smell a little bit of fuel.
I dont know the history of the unit like hours or how long it has sat but if flooded its best to let it sit for a few minutes and then try again.
Sometimes taking the spark plug out and seeing if its wet will give a good indication if its flooded or if its dry then its not getting fuel.
I would also try pull starting if it been a while since its been ran for a higher turn over speed
@@johnnysweekends it was just running yesterday it ran out if fuel i refilled tried it on and choke i smell gas
Ok well could be flooded. Not sure how old the spark plug is but may need a new one. Buy two.
@@johnnysweekends i figured I'd pull the plug blow it out with air 1st 2nd sir filter
Yup, could work 👍🏼
How to turn off and run the gad out of the generator, Thanks
Watch this and try. It will work on yours 👍🏼😀

Would you choose this over the champion 4500?
No I would take the champion just from a lot of reviews, plus they also seem to have better customer service and warranty. And I felt the newer champion is better constructed. Both have good engines and both are a Chinese branded engine but both have been around along time so for the most part they should last.
I would buy a warranty with both.
So which is better or you recommend powerhorse or predator generator overall?
Well power horse has more power easy start button and rv plug which I prefer but the warranty replacement of harbor freight is the main selling point. If you didn’t have that people would be buying others like champion or this power horse with more power.
Both are good, if you have a northern tool near you that’s the way I would go.
@@johnnysweekends thanks for the input. I have a 7500 powerhorse inverter and had no problems with it. Though many people have had problems with HF and yes the warranty is their but how many times do you have to replace the generator every time a problem comes up. Or has issues. Thank you for the response.
I think the earliest predator models seem to have the best reliability. But since a couple updates it seems it worse now from viewers and groups.
Any your welcome and thanks for watching 😀👍🏼
do you notice that they never use or try the large outlets because its bullcrap
I use them 🤷🏼♂️
