Ok,
Here it is for the final Review .

This is my review and opinions with the Generator 69729 'Predator Generator that is 3,200 watts with 4,000 watt surge.

Does it puls start on the firts time
Yes, it does sometimes but to do so you will need to run premium fuel and not the cheap stuff. Or you can convert it over to CNG and or Propane for 182.00.
that converstion is the trifuel conversion kit. I am planning to order the trifuel conversion kit later as gass has a bunch of crap in it now adays that will destroy motors.
Plus propaine has a lot longer shelf life.

This generator is not a PMA generator, it has Brushes as most generators have.
and this brings a second thing up.
It must be started at least once every 2 months to ensure the magnetic field does not disapear , Or you can start it once a month.

It producens 119 Volts A/C.
Howver with the oads I was running (more on this later) the generator did drop to 115 volts and at the lowest it dropped to 110.


Things I ran on this generator were :
a Dishwasher 552 Watts
A conduction Stove Top on sear 1,300 Watts
A refridgerator 780 Watts
-----------------------------------------------------
For a total of 2,632 Watts The generator almost broke a sweat
-----------------------------------------------------
Ok so what did I do for fun and House work aside from cooking?
Well I could wash clothes because the machines we have are two sensetive to the raw Current that is rather rough.
But on the side I could:
Use The New Wave 1,500 Watts
Vacuum The floor 500 Watts
Run the Fridge 780 Watts
-------------------------------------
For A total of 1,780 Watts
-------------------------------------

All in all I find it very difficult to break 3,200 watts

The cook top will heat water for cleaning ourselves and house
But then we always have baby wipes as well lol.

Nice, sounds like you got yourself a good machine.

Now make sure you run it a lot during its warranty period. At least get it through the break in period. Also change the oil often to make sure it lasts longer. Especially a new motor needs the oil changed more often.
