awful knawful Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 The 1000 was great for most things. But the girls like the hair dryer at the camp and when buying the new one the 2000 was only $150 more. Runs skilsaw too. No need to drag 3500 down.

For sure it wont handle the inrush when he turns on his 220v dildo. Poor Ben. Its not 220v and the nominal voltageis referred to as 240v regardless I already outlined what I needed to run. Furnace , Fridge lights and convenience items For that 3500 is continuous is perfect and it sips gas at .3 GPH !!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yamaha 1000 and new Honda 2000 are inverters. I haven't used the 2000 much but the 1000 was a miser on fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends how much load on them....my 2000 honda inverter will run for 12 hrs powering our old truck camper....my 7000 honda inverter would power most my house for 8 hrs.

We have chillers that run on 4160 v service. Electric boilers that draw 1250 RLA and the line power comes in on open buss duct. I'm in full arc flash gear regularly.
