Generac/DR Power GP3500iO 7128 / PRO 3500iO 3000/3500W Gas Inverter Generator New

I have a Generac GP3500io and I purchased this one to complement it so I could run 50 Amps. It’s the exact same generator only with the DR color and markings, It is still in the shipping box. I also purchased a Generac iq3500 from Factory Pure and was blown away by how quiet it is which is just what I need. I called Factory Pure to try to exchange the DR for another iq3500, offered to pay return shipping, restocking fee, anything so I could have matching Generator’s and the answer was No. I love supporting any business that isn’t a chain that’s why I was ordering from Factory Pure. Had I just bought it at a big box store it would have been exchanged that day instead the guy from Factory Pure suggested I sell it on Facebook marketplace. (I don’t even have Facebook). The DR is a great value and I would give it five stars however I’m disappointed with Factory Pure and support is also part of your purchase.

It started on the second tug. I ran it for 3 hours and during that time I connected my refrigerator and a fan to it. Both ran just fine. I bought the inverter generator to run the refrigerator, a box fan, the TV and wi-fi during a power outage. I can also run my 1200 watt microwave but I will use it after disconnecting the refrigerator. They might work at the same time but I am watching the amperage as well as the wattage to ensure no overload.
