chevysoldier Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I just bought this one for $900. More than I planned but it's a Ridgid with a Yamaha motor so it should be quality. 6800/8500w, Auto idle down, electric start, 1 220v plug. It also has a pull out panel (you can drag inside) with 4 110v plugs, the start/stop switch a digital gauge with hours, volts, amps, hertz and maintenance indicator. hell, it even came with a quart of oil. 3 year factory warranty, I got the 3 year extended warranty too. It started up right out of the box. Runs smooth and fairly quiet also. Honestly, I'm extremely happy with it and expect it to last a long time. I'll update when the power goes out and I really use it for the first time.http://homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-6-800-Watt-Yamaha-357-cc-Electric-Start-Idle-Down-Gasoline-Powered-Portable-Generator-RD906812/203183985/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Thats a solid deal with the Yammy motor. Interested to see long term results on it, keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Nice. But do not plug any electronics directly into that such as computers, LCD TVs, etc. It stated it's okay for sensitive electronics but all it has is AVR, it does not have any built in inverter. Let us know how she run in the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit depressed that the power didnt go out the other day. I would have felt better spending the money. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fasttc Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I bought that exact one last year after the Derecho (june 29, 2012) or whatever the hell it was. We had no power for 3 days and the in laws were without for 8 days. Ours ran 8 straight days powering our house, then onto the in laws place. It was a little bit loud, but the thing is a beast. Cannot say enough about this generator, it literally saved our wedding since we had people in town and that storm knocked out power to their hotels, and the hair dressers place for the women. Good purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
