PowerBoss 30480 - 1850 PowerBoss Portable Generator

I ordered this generator on black Friday on a great sale and was not disappointed. Unfortunately there was no review information online for this model but the specs checked out and the price was right. The piece I wasn't sure on was what wattage it would actually support. Typically generators have a running and surge wattage, this guy only has one rating which appears to cover both. The delivery came by freight and it only took about 10 days. The box was in satisfactory condition and everything was in one piece.

After unpacking, I noticed the unit came prefilled with oil but needed to be topped off. I filled it up with gas, followed the starting instructions, and it started on the first pull! It has yet to be put to an extended run test, but I did connect a 1500 watt heater and ran it for about 5 minutes. Sound level is good, right at or below 70db even under moderate load. When I am able to run the generator for a few hours and put it through a full load test I will post any findings.

I have a place at Lake Texoma. I have needed the generator twice for 2 days. It works great. Thanks for the good service.

I bought this generator to run a paint sprayer for an outlying shed. The price was a good value, and I thought the Subaru engine would be fairly trouble free.

Just to be different, I read the manual. Mainly, I wanted to learn oil type and capacity. When it was ready, I set the choke and started it up. It started on the second pull and ran smoothly. I plugged a trouble light into the outlet to make sure it worked.

I loaded it up and set out for the shed. I mixed some paint, fired up the generator and set to work. Well, after about 5-10 minutes, the power cut out. The generator was purring away. I stared at it for awhile, but that didn't help. Then I realized the choke was still on. I flipped it off and the engine revved up.

The power came back and I accidentally sprayed one corner of it. Oops. I like this generator because it is great for small jobs. It is not heavy, well 50 pounds. It continues to start easily and operate reliably as I find more and more uses for it. As a side note, I read through the manual troubleshooting chart. It did not help with my problem.

I should also mention that the shipping company was very polite, friendly and professional. I had a last minute shipping request, and they could not have been more helpful.

have purchased three of these units, one for each of my two sons and one for me. third unit was damaged during transport and PED replaced it: very satisfied service with PED.

I am not satisfied. they do not work well. The generator is not constant - the speed always changes. My generator is in Quebec, Canada. Do you have a place where I can send it for repairs in Canada?
