Powerhorse Generators

[Lew Silverman]

I've been using the smaller version of the Powerhorse inverter-generator, the 2000-series for about 2 years and I'm very happy with it's performance, Marc.

It's very quiet, and I've been able to power my small compressor and battery-charger on less than one tank of fuel, so it's economical as well. It's due for a service over the winter, so I'll be headed back to Northern later this month for a filter and tune-up kit.

One recommendation, and this goes for any small-engined equipment, is to use a fuel-additive designed to combat the destructive effects of the ethanol in in the fuel. Northern sells a product made by "Starbrite" which seems to work well, but I think Sta-bil also offers the same protection. If you have access to it, there are non-ethanol fuels available (VP's SEF is a great product, but a little more expensive).

I think if you maintain your generator properly and always use clean, fresh fuel you'll be very happy with a Powerhorse generator.
