Just wondering I'd they are any good what you like or dont like? Are they as quite as they say? Is it worth it? Looking to run a small RV on road trips. Thanks in advance
Anyone own a predator 3500 super quite generator from harbor frieght?

It uses their rather common 212cc, 6ish HP engine. Iron block engine, 4-stroke, weighs about 35 pounds and throws about 90dB. They've put a muffler on it and placed inside a sound deadening enclosure for that particular generator which is dropping dB levels to the mid 50's, pretty quiet.
Never used one although the engine is fairly reliable, it's been on the market for a while now and used in all sorts of yard equipment. Also pretty popular with home builders of go karts.

I have a 2200 watt version. It’s really very quiet and barely sips gas. I’m a fan
My 3500 runs great, it is also very quiet. I like mine.
My son has one of their generators and has been a great one
anything from Harbor Freight that is electrical or has a moving part should be avoided.
Friend has one to run his RV, he changed the original sparkplug, bought a magnetic dipstick and its been bulletproof.
I was at an event yesterday where a vendor set up in an enclosed trailer had one running, lights, t-shirt screen print press, and AC. The generator was extremely quiet when when under a load like when the AC compressor kicked on. Not sure about the reliability or life span but Harbor Freight has, or used to have, an unconditional return policy.
Awesome generator.
58db
Runs my 35' RV with 1 AC (13,500btu).
Cant use nuker or higher wattage plugnins when powering AC.
Eco mode (low load) +/- 8hrs per tank.
Sign up for HF sales an deals and you can get <$800.
I bought maintenance plan for 2 yrs (real inexpensive), but never needed it.
Run StaBil in it
Mibe is 4 years old and has only needed a startrt battery (6V).
