    I don't know REALY. Best I can tell is 9000. It was a freebie.

    I'm at home testing this and the sun starting to set now and had to turn the AC unit down cause it was getting cold in here .
    My truck is a mid roof which helps ....the real test will come this weekend in Laredo where it will be 105 .

    Well I left today and got to Waco Nebraska and was about 90 and humid .
    Put the unit in and have had to keep turning back the thermostat and fan speed to keep from freezing to death .
    I ran it 6 hrs at home yesterday and the generator used less than 2 gals of fuel .
     
    nonsense007, blr300, Terry270 and 2 others Thank this.

    Based on this now it's a no brainier and get a generator with remote electric start .
