View Full Version : What a relief!
2kdime 12-22-2009, 09:06 PM Been wanting one for a while and I found a deal on a brand new one off Craigslist.
Louder than crap and I'm happy as hell:D
I've always worried about what would happen during an outage. Granted it's not a home standby, it'll do for now.
The relief I feel is awesome.
You guys need to get one if you don't already!

Mrs. Norsmis 12-22-2009, 09:34 PM We need one of those. I hate not having power (cause I hate being cold):yessir:
Amen! I hear that!!!
2kdime 12-22-2009, 09:34 PM Check Craigslist Tama!
My step dad is rather cold hearted and we were talking about them at work today.
He told me that you can get em pretty cheap now since a lot of people were iddiots and bought em for the Y2K scare, haha.
Now they don't need em as much as they thought they did, so their selling em rather cheap.
I got a good deal on this one.

Mrs. Sputnik 12-23-2009, 01:04 AM Why I am sooooooooooooo glad we have our fireplace but would like to get one someday
FRoberts 12-23-2009, 08:35 PM I have been considering that purchase for some time now.
I've had the idea of picking one up since last year when we lost power for 7 days do to an icestorm. I really need to prioritize.... nah
JOHNS6068 12-24-2009, 01:40 AM Nice find :yessir:

SNSnakes 12-25-2009, 01:25 PM Nice pickup! 5500 watts should be more than enough to heat two rooms and then some. Where are the outlets? I don't even see a panel in the pics. You get 2 or 4 outlets?
2kdime 12-25-2009, 10:57 PM The outlets are on the opposite side of the motor on the generator.
They're at the end of the thing that actually makes the power.
There's 2 120v 20A receptacles and 1 locking plug 30A right next to them with push switch circuit breakers.
It came with a Generator cord that is the locking plug type which is 10/3 with 4 outlets on the end of it. That cord is 25ft and gets the power inside the house. Then I just bought 4-50ft extension cords to power up whatever I need.
