When one of generators gave me trouble, I got a Predator 3500. That unit is awesome. I run my fridge and A/C on econo-mode, and once started, the generator just comes off an idle. The Powerhouse 3500 is the same unit. I was cautiously optimistic, and very pleasantly surprised. It is amazingly quiet.
My only warning is carefully break them in, change oil after 2, 8, and 25 hours. The Chinese don't clean out the case well during manufacturing.
Anybody wanna buy two Champion 2000s with low hours??

That's some great news!!... It sounds like you found a great combination!!...
