Two Predator 2000 vs Predator 3500

[jzaldivar]

So I took three inverters on trade for my Yamaha inverter.

2 Predator 2000

and

Predator 3500

All new in the box. My question is should I keep the two 2000s with a parallel kit or keep the 3500. Hope this makes sense.


Thanks in advance.

The big thing comes down to weight and storage space .

If you stick with the 3500 , are you going to mount it somewhere , or are you going to need to move it. I had a 3500 Honda years ago and it was all I could do to get it from the ground to the P/U box, and getting it over the 5er hitch was something else too.
JMHO: The pair of 2000s might use more fuel , if / when you need both , but moving and storing them is much easier.

I’d keep the 3500. It’s e-start, and has enough power for running everything in my needs.

Besides starting, maintaining, storing 2 smaller ones is a PITA.

Trust me I have 2 Honda 2000 with parallel and I really wish I had the 3000 instead.

In your case the extra 500 Watts is not worth it to me.

the 3500 is lighter than a honda 3000, still not easy to move for some people..
other than that i vote for the 3500,,, 2 of the 2000 will not realy out put much more do to losses...

only bit of advice on the 3500 is to take the secondary exhaust (internal) fine mess screen OUT.. they clog,,alot..
also do nott over fill as it will chug and die...

otherwise it runs my 14.8K old 1996 AC all day...plus fridge..
