I bought one of these a year ago when a tree dropped our utility pole. We used this for two days to run the fridge, fan and 5000 BTU AC in one of the bedrooms. Well, Hurricane Helene came through last night and we have been without power for 15 hours so far. This generator is great, kept us from spoiling a lot of food and is keeping us comfortable. I use non ethanol gas in it. The only complaint is engine oil is not included. Well worth the money.

Because of your video presentation. I purchased the 4375 for my hubby for Christmas 2020. I hope he likes it.

I have been looking at buying this generator for about a month now when I came across your review of it and absolutely helped me make up my mind to purchase this for our family. Your review was so thorough, informative and user friendly. You helped me see that this would be the right generator for my family. We live out in Oregon and we’ve been getting some crazy ice storms the last few winters. All lines are above ground which means regular power outages. As a father and husband, this generator will help me feel confident about keeping my family safe the next time a freeze comes through. Thank you so much for doing such a great job with the review. In fact, you did such a great job I think Harbor Freight should put you on contract. 😂 Wishing blessings to you and your family. Be well. 🙏

Just bought one and did a two hour break in. I'm glad it has a 14hr run time. Great video you posted. Oh yeah...Go Blue! 〽

Thanks for your review. I think I've spent weeks at looking at reviews on over a dozen generators I liked. I ended up buying this one and also bought the 3500 watt inverter as well. I bought two because I wanted a dedicated generator for the home front, and with the 30 amp on it, can run the RV as well. But when we are out camping or to run computers and such, or maybe on small appliance, I got the other one to take with us or to use around the house. About to unbox these and get them going. I haven't had much luck in the past with my very first generator which ended up just falling apart with hardly no hours on it. So here goes!

I got one of these about a year ago, has performed well and am impressed with how quite it is.

Great video. Harbor Freight should be giving you royalties. Yours is the only video of all generator videos that actually makes sense to me.

Came straight from the embedded video on harbor freight website on the product, Very informative, It’s exactly what I’m looking for just enough to run a fridge and a small window ac unit and charge cell phones. Thank you.

This video, along with the owners manual I found online was a big help this past weekend when we set up the generator and used it for the first time during a power outage. Two things worth noting that were not mentioned in this video are that the generator needs to be grounded using #6 AWG copper wire and a grounding rod and the generator needs a cover if using it during rain or snow because moisture cannot get on the generator.

Thanks a bunch, I bought this during a power outage to keep my fridge and deep freezer going and could not find the oil plug for the life of me. After your video I had everything plugged in within 10 minutes.

I have the 9, 000 peak watt version of this and ran it for 96 straight hours non-stop during a 5 day power outage in Maine. Thing ran great and got a good oil change after that. Worried about long term reliability after that but for the price, I'll take it. These are great generators.

I don't know how they did it, but the run time has increased dramatically from the model that this is replacing (Predator 4000). The 4000 has a run time of 10 hours, and this new 4375 has a 16 hour run time. Yet they have the same size engine, and same size gas tank. Plus the 4375 obviously makes a little more power, too. Impressive improvement.

@hangerGarage. Great Video, I bought the Same Generator back in November of 2018. Great Machine. Remember when you run it to use Premium fuel not "Rec Gas", although it may be sort of the same thing- easier to find in pinch. DO Not run Ethanol ( E85 based Fuels) - and always use Sta-Bil or Sea Foam. This will allow the Fuel to Burn really clean and slow, and maximize the run tine on as little gas as possible. I ran my generator for 28 hours straight out of the box. Also. it does not erode at the fuel lines. When you Shut it down- First close the fuel valve to drain the carburetor, then hit the main switch. All in all.... Great Review my man!

After owning several gasoline generators I took the leap and had installed the 20KW Guardian Generic whole house generator.
I don't have to keep a supply of gasoline on hand all the time. The installation of this generator took about 2 days.
Whenever power goes out I just start counting 1, 2, 3, 4 (generator comes on)5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (Solenoids on the control panel outside the house disconnect the city power) 10 the generator switches the house over to the generator's power.
Every Saturday morning about mid-day the generator starts up, does a system check, runs about 15 minutes and shuts back down.
The generator runs on natural gas or propane. If it has to run a week or two I don't have to worry about having to haul gallons of gasoline (even if I could find it) back to the house and store it.

FYI:
It dosen't come with oil inside or out because you can't ship with fuel or liquids, it has to be shipped dry.
Thanks for video

Before shutting down the unit....close the fuel valve and run the carburetor dry.
stazym
a great tip: change out oil after 3 hrs. and repeat after 20 hrs. or less 15 hrs. ! scale inside engine will wear off in this time frame. also no synthetic oil in small engines... great vid. thank you...
