All Power America APG3004 1000-Watt 2-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator

I  bought this All Power America APG3004 generator several months ago on a whim at Cost U Less in St. Croix where I live. I figure that if a Hurricane hit us it may be useful to have backup power. This proved to be one of the best purchases I ever made.

On Wednesday night into early Thursday we got hit with Hurricane Omar, a Category 3 storm. After the storm we had no power. My basement apartment that is occupied by a tenant was flooded. I fired up this little 2 stroke generator and plugged my wet vac into it. It worked great, it could handle the load the 3HP wet vac put on it (this is only a 2HP generator, we gained an entire horse). Within an hour and a half her apartment was cleaned up pretty good.

That night we still had no power. I was able to power up my 47" LCD TV, Satellite Box, DSL modem, and Linksys router off of it. I got about 6 hours with this load on 1 gallon of oil/fuel mixture....not bad. The next night we still had no power so my wife added her laptop to this load and got about 5 hours on a gallon of fuel.

Now it would not power my refrigerator or my water pumps from the Cistern which was a bit disappointing. The startup load of the fridge was just too great. Also, like all 2 stroke motor's, starting it can be a pain...when you let gas sit in it for a while the mixture gets a little oil heavy...adding a small amount of gas and "shaking" it seems to get it started again. You will have to yank the cord a few times which is challenging for my wife. It also is loud (as all 2 stroke motor's tend to be).

For the $130 I paid for this I got my money's worth. Just being able to get online and watch my Satellite TV after the storm made life post-Omar much easier. I am very glad I bought this product. It's not a solution to all your power problems but in a pinch such as the one I was in it has worked out great.

All Power America APG3010 2,000 Watt 4 HP OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Ready When You Are For Camping, Tailgating, Household tasks and Emergencies. The All Power APG-3010 gives you power when you need it at a price you can afford! This 2000 peak watt generator includes a durable 4.0 Hp, air cooled, four cycle, OHV engine with automatic low oil shutoff switch that protects the engine from overheating. The APG-3010 generates 2000 peak watts and 1700 continuous watts of power, but has an incredible operational output rating of just 56%. This means that the unit operates at just 56% of engine capacity to sustain the working power resulting in greater fuel economy and longer engine life than engines that have to work harder to provide the same results. The APG-3010 is a real fuel sipper with .6 gallons of fuel providing about 5.0 hours of electricity at half load. Structurally, the heavy duty steel engine frame is surrounded by an ABS plastic housing with a built-in handle. This provides for great looks and quiet operation. 

 

Weighing only 62 lbs and developing just 68 db of noise, the APG-3010 is designed for any outdoor activity where a pleasant conversation is still part of the equation. Those who have used this portable generator love the small size and also the convenience of the full power panel with engine shutoff switch, volt meter, circuit breaker and power outlets that are located on one end and we think you re going to love it too!

The All Power America portable generator is a lightweight, quiet portable generator that delivers long run time. 

 

Product Features

• 5 hours of run time on one tank of gas
• Small size for portability
• 4-Cycle 4.0 HP engine
• Brushless motor for high efficiency and longer life
• Non-CARB Compliant/Not For Sale In California
• 1 year warranty, EPA approved, 1 year factory direct warranty
• Product Dimensions: 19 x 13.8 x 16.5 inches ; 62 pounds

 I use this generator primarily for dry camping in a travel trailer. Of the other generators around, this generator did all the others would do plus. It runs relatively quiet and ran atleast five hours on one tank of gasoline (6/10 of a gal.). If you need a generator at a reasonable price then don't hesitate to buy this on. It'll be well worth the investment.

All Power America APG3301C 1,200 Watt 4-Stroke Gas Powered Portable Generator

I've only used it once so far, but it ran like a champ, and it's not too noisy. And, it's CARB compliant, which I had to have living in California. That tends to run up the price of a generator.

I had a little trouble getting it to run steadily until I figured out the choke. It is a heavy little monster- 55 lbs in a very small package- not heavy enough to require wheels, so you have to lift it by the handle.

I was worried about using it to power my electronics (DSL modem, router, computer), but I emailed the company for advice and received a response in about 24 hours. Good support. They recommended using a line conditioner for sensitive electronics. As it turns out, the voltage coming out of mine is a bit high. If you want to power electronics, be sure to buy a line conditioner or voltage stabilizer along with it. I got a voltage stabilizer here on Amazon for $24.

Do be aware of the fact that 1200 watts is not a lot of power. You won't run a hot plate or a hair dryer with this generator. But computers, TVs, and low wattage fluorescent lights are no problem. I can power everything that is important to me in my study for about 350 watts. But check your wattage requirements before you buy.

This generator is a great value for the price. I had a little difficulty getting it started when it first arrived, but as soon as I noticed the rubber fuel line was crimped, and trimmed the line a little, it started right up. I use this generator regularly to power a pitching machine, shop vac, etc. It is reliable and has a very good run time before needing refuel. Other generators might be a little lighter and maybe quieter, but this is an outstanding value.
