Product Description

Take the LP3250 along for outdoor events, camping or job site use, or use it around the home for projects and emergency backup. As consumers become more conscious of their green footprint, they look for ways to use less fossil fuel, but ideally not at the expense of convenience. For many applications, propane is the answer. Unlike gasoline, Liquid Propane can be stored indefinitely without deterioration, and safely transported without spillage. Propane is also readily available and is used by millions of people to fuel everything from furnaces to grills to vehicles. This means you wont need to run out to a gas station to stock up on fuel when your power goes out. Liquid propane also emits low carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons and fewer toxic pollutants than gasoline. Liquid propane is also non-toxic and biodegradable. Until now, the only options available in a portable propane generator required the propane tank to be separately carried, where it would then sit to the side of the generator while in use. The LP3250 incorporates a tank holder into the frame itself, so the propane tank sits securely out of the way. This eliminates the hassle of a stand-alone tank and the awkward fuel line that goes along with it. The LP3250 also includes your quart of oil, a wheel kit for easy portability, and a 2 year residential warranty. The propane tank is not included. This unit has two standard 5-20R 120V outlets, and one L14-20R 120/240V twist-lock outlet.

Generac 6000 LP3250 3,250 Watt 212cc OHV Portable Liquid Propane Powered Generator with Tank Holder Review

UPDATE: The generator runs fine and I made the decision to skip running it 30 minutes each week. I'm hoping that that recommendation is really a hold over from their gasoline powered generators... as was their (printed booklet) starting instructions! These instructions are different from the decal on the generator...but that decal is small and basically icons and therefor easy to ignore if you have the booklet in hand.

>>>With a gasoline small engine you apply the choke to make the mixture rich, pull the starter cord gently to prime the engine, and then pull to start, keeping the choke on until the engine warms up; with the propane engine you prime the engine by pressing a button for two seconds (you can hear the propane filling the cylinder), apply the choke and pull twice (don't know why), then OPEN the choke and start by pulling. The engine will not run (or start) with the choke applied.<<<

I've been waiting for my electrician to wire up an outside, 220V outlet so I can use this generator to power up selected circuits in my house during a power outage... so I actually haven't powered it up yet! But I have made a couple of observations (below) that might be helpful for deciding whether to purchase this generator. I will update the review later after firing it up.

First the good:

1) Delivery (by contract trucking firm) was very efficient

2) Assembly was easy - even for one person (a second person would have been handy to hold up end while attaching wheels)

3) Seems to be well-built

Now the gotchas;

4) Instructions recommend running generator for 30 minutes.... once a week! at half rated load you will use up the propane tank in 18 weeks and, since you can't top off a propane tank (well, you can if you are willing to pay for a full tank), this weekly run will leave you with less run time in a power loss.

5) Instructions also recommend you adjust the valve clearance after the first 50 hours of use (and then every 300 hours)... but provides no details. Suggests you take it to the authorized service center if you don't feel comfortable with this service.

6) To change or regap spark plug, or adjust valve clearance, you will have to take the generator's housing apart - not a good design.

7) If you are not going to run it for more than 30 days they recommend changing the oil and putting some oil in the cylinder to lubricate and protect the cylinder - again, taking the generator housing apart.
