    I wished I hadn't attempted to lift my new generator out of its original packaging. Still feeling it in my back 5 months later. Great advice JB...as always.

      If the most of the generators you see in your shop are Champion as you stated, then that is saying they are the most problematic and not at all “pretty solid”. At least that is how I interpret your comment as it is worded.

    Personally I’d rather get a predator generator because they’re better quality. I could probably make ten jokes on how Powersmart isn’t so smart when it comes to their equipment. Anyway, I’m in Bear Lake Utah this week, so far I’ve been riding my ATVs on the trail and zipping across the lake on a jet ski. And the best part is that I’m only two hours away from home.

    I have a DuroMax 13000w (10500 running) gen set with a 50amp cord that plugs into my main panel via a transfer switch.
    I can run everything in my house including two window A/C units, the fridge, and all lights and outlets.
