This generator good?

[RBphoto]

Saw this in pricesmart and I want to get something like this that has parts and support locally. Is this a good brand and is there a dealer for it locally?

[sleepertercel]

Get the one qith the SR20DET

[SMc]

It really depends on what you want to power with it. Check that first then decide if it will work for you...also check the decibel level as its a 2 stroke.

[RBphoto]

I don't need much load capability, maybe 400W, but I need small and portable. Quieter would be better. Is there any small 4-stroke on the market?

[Goolie]

i have this, worked for me, used it to power a fan, electric heater and a fluorescent 2 feet light. (not all the same time though).
It serves its purpose, portability was key, so thumbs up.

We have the 7000 w Honda generator to do light welding. It trips with the 110v stick welder, but it is just about that amount of current single line. 220v shouldn't be a problem.
But if we don't need to weld, just drills, saws etc we use a big 2000w inverter. It runs the 7 amp equipment good, I would say that 10 amps could work for short durations. The noise of the advan is preferable to the generator.

popular chinese generator sold under a variety of names
I think a tuner also sells them in the misc section

[Ted_v2]

great unit, really wanted to buy one but i cant see the use for this.

BUY locally from a dealer, there are certain things you should never buy from Pricesmart and one of those is a generator/

[pugboy]

I have a Coleman power mate(Subaru engine) from them, works very well, use it for welding too
The powermates are very well reviewed compared to the Chinese no name engine generators

RB I bought about 6 months ago and it didn't last. Would recommend you look elsewhere if you really need one.

[RBphoto]

Well anybody know a local dealer who has something this size? (as in physical size, more power would not be a problem)

[3stagevtec]

Check the reviews from Amazon on the unit.. for the price, the risk seems well worth it for those on a tight budget.

The 2000W Honda equivalent sells for around $8000 IIRC.

The Yamaha dealer has a 1000W model (ET1) for $2100 and a 2600W model for $5700. Call to confirm prices (contact 623-1221).

I'd personally go with the Yamaha for price / parts / reputation

[Chimera]

tell pricesmart hdmc

i realize most things they only giving 1 month warranty these days

even products that have 5 year manufacturer warranty. 1 month warranty iymc

[sMASH]

Bought a grinder from them last week, 1 month warranty. But it is the cheapest and 6amps, so it will work.

[pugboy]

plenty ppl buying the grinder and yellow(nondewalt) chop saw
time will tell if they last

[Chimera]

depending on what credit card you use to purchase, the original manufacturer warranty can be used though

[chingMAN]

Yamaha is the original make of those products and after they a while they sell the rights to re produce thus you have a lot of these clones built in china for U.S. companies with limited warranties and no parts . At that price is buy and if not working throw away . The Yamaha dealer is on 71st vincent street . p.o.s. I have a yamaha generator over 4yrs now and not a day of problems and yes $2,100.00 is the price

If you are running an electrical drill or a few lights at a job site



If you want a jobsite generator for a circular saw or demolition hammer

[AliceTowler]

What are you going to use the generator for? I would advise you to pay attention to more or less well-known manufacturers of generators. Patriot, Yamaha, etc.? helpful resources

[pugboy]

you could also go to an engine/wacker repair shop and ask their opinion of the engine reliability/parts of the ones on the market
they usually have a good idea

[gastly369]

Got the pricemart pulsar generator for camping /fishing ddi etc...ran for 3hrs and couldn't start back .. checked the spark plug and found some unknown plug burnt out ..got a ngk replacement and well running strong 2 years now normally use lights n 3 fans n holds up well

[TrinbagoMan]

I checked pricesmart and FT Farfan's. I saw the pulsar, which i may get. but also interested in a bigger generator.
Pricesmart had a 4200 Watt generator, but no bigger. Farfan's only had a 1200 Watt one.

This generator will be used for welding, and other general stuff, so i would like it to have at least 5000 W.

Any other places carry generators that i can check out?

I am considering ordering them online and shipping them in.

[tr1ad]

The bigger pricesmart ones not bad, I have one with a Subaru engine and it works well

how cylinder #2?

[pugboy]

Yeah pricesmart presently only have max 4250 sized
The 5000 will struggle to weld
Ideally you want min 6-7k
Starting the arc puts a big current surge
