5.0 out of 5 stars McCulloch FDD210 1800w Inverter Generator, October 19, 2007
By 
In December 2006 Seattle got smacked by a huge windstorm and our area was without power for 6 days. No lights, no heat, no fun!

I bought the McCulloch FDD210mo 1800w (1600 running watts, or 13.3 amp continuous output) to avoid a repeat this year. In looking at generators I found my priorities were:

1) Enough power to run my furnace (had to wire in a 3-pronged plug), fridge and a light simultaneously for a few hours.
2) Portability.
3) Relatively quiet.

This unit has fit my requirements well. With an output of 13.3 running amps and 15 surge amps, it supports the max requirements of my furnace (6 amps max), fridge (6.5 amps max) and lighting (60 watt bulb). In reality the furnace and fridge run at about 200 - 400 watts each, or 1.7 - 3.4 amps each. So, unless the furnace blower and refrigerator compressor start up at precisely the same moment, the theoretical max isn't going to be an issue. My P4400 Kill-A-Watt meter ($25) allows monitoring of this. The P4400 also confirms my unit's voltage output is good, right around 120v, which I've read is a concern with lower end generators.

The FDD210mo uses straight unleaded gas, a benefit over 2-cycle generators that require a gas/oil mix. At 1.45 gal. the fuel tank is a bit larger than comparable units from Honda, Subaru/Robin, Yamaha, Kipor, which typically are 1.1 gal. or less. That supposedly allows the FDD210 to run up to 4 hours at 100% load - I ran it with the SmartThrottle on during a 5 hour outage this week with no refills necessary. The SmartThrottle setting ramps power output up and down depending on the draw from your appliances. This allows for fuel conservation since the generator doesn't have to crank at 100% all the time. That setting also further reduces generator noise when the power load is light.

The advertised noise rating of 59 dB seems lowballed, probably to draw comparisons with Honda's EU2000i. The FDD210mo manual claims a noise rating of 60 dB at no load and 70 dB at full load. Note the ratings are at 7 meters, or 23 feet, so up close you'll think it's louder than advertised, which it will be. But I consider the unit from my neighbor's point of view and so actually it is pretty quiet, especially if it's raining or windy outside.

The inverter's "clean sine wave" is a bonus that should let me run my laptop and DSL modem during an outage without fear of damage.

Bottom line: at $500+ the FDD210 is pricier than non-inverter units, but it is quieter and manages fuel consumption better so that made the extra cost worth it to me. It's also a lot less than other portable inverter generators out there. I've been very happy with my purchase.

I was very skeptical about purchasing a chinese manfactured unit, but couldn't resist saving the money. Similar brand name units cost twice as much. I have used this unit several times and I am very satisfied with the quality and the performance.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: McCulloch 1,800 Watt 2.9 HP 105.6cc 4-Cycle Gas Powered Digital Inverter Generator FDD210 (Lawn & Patio)
It was easy to get the generator ready for operation.
Well designed and manufactured with quality components.
Primary use is for power backup at home. I tested it running a 21 cu. ft. fridge and it was ok.
