My wife and I have been getting along with our old reliable Honda EU2000i just fine for years. Then we had a three day outage last winter which taxed our (wifey's) ability to get by. The main issue was that our home has a well and our little Honda can't run the pump.
So I recently relented and bought a HF Predator 4375 generator with 240 volt output so that I can run it a few hours a day to power our house. Our home came with a lockout panel so I can just tie into that when we need to. I plan to only run the Predator an hour or two in the morning and in the evening during extended outages.
Of course I bought the wheel package as well.
Then I chose Rotella T6 5w-40 from my inventory as an initial fill.
The generator fired up on the second pull and it ran great powering just a 500 watt shop light.
I zip tied an hour meter just because It's new and I didn't want to cut it up and void the warranty but I will eventually find a permanent mount.
