Testing My New Chicago 800-Watt Portable Electric Generator

[j70141]

I have returned three of these so far. Keeps giving me low voltage after a period of time. Drops to something like 80 or 90 volts after running for a while. I always purchase the guarantee.

Good morning, are you still selling the generator?



[nicksurreal]

put it in the grass! damn! running that on the concrete will tear it apart.

[oneworldkingdom]

@nicksurreal The generator itself sits on little rubber heels. It won't tear up anything.

Oh boy I've seen some interesting videos but?

[NBAGOATS]

That thing is screaming its butt off. Too loud. My goodness. I'd shoot my neighbor if he ever brought one of those home and actually used it.

How many watts was that hair dryer?

[Rarrin9378]

I have a coupon for one of these. It's a coupon for the store Harbor freight and it's 89.99

@ Rogelio67 or any one who may know...

What kind of spark plug did u use if u know the model because I took mine to replace it then some how I lost it.

[rmwtsou]

@1987fsg Sorry I have no idea. I have not fired up my generator since I made the video.

@1987fsg Use a NGK plug

[DeepFriedFuzzball]

@1987fsg Hi, these generators run well on genuine brand spark plugs, they're the standard size long nose spark plugs like in a car, try an NGK BPR 6ES plug, make sure it's long nose but also the piston doesn't bash it, that should work alright :]

i love mine and ive put over 30 hours on it.

[lysis666]

heelo. i need a generator that can run some lights, perhaps for 18 hours a day, but i need one that i can put on a timer. i need a genorator that can turn on and off by its self something that dosnt need to be pull started everytime. anybody got any suggestions??

[krl8814]

i just bought one thanks for the demo

[Hpangirl]

would this run a 90 amp welder?



[jeclone]

@Hpangirl NO, a 90 amp welder would need 1800 watts or more

[Hpangirl]

@jeclone what kind of generator would I need to run a fridge , an AC window unit (8000btus), and a tv, you know during an emergency?

[rogelio67]

update,, mine worked 30 minutes,, then it stopped ,,, i went to auto zone ,, got a new spark plu,,, and started on first pull,,, i was so happy again,,, all and all i am happy with this machine,,, i will  keep an extra plug from now on,,,

[rmwtsou]

@rogelio67 Great! I'm glad it all worked out for you.

[rogelio67]

mine worked for 30 minutes at the beach,, wont run now,, i think it got too much moisture from the beach air,,, any ideas???

[rmwtsou]

Have no idea. The last time (and the first time) that I ran the machine was when I made this video. It is sitting in the garage now. Hope it will work when the need comes.

[bassboy923]

@rogelio67 get a new spark plug

[lar4305]

I have the same one. The power went out last winter winter, and i ran our gas furnace on it for 12 hours. What a deal for $86 .

[lopez8122]

Wow, its loud! Thanks for the demo.
