True. I have a bunch of Harbor Freight tools and have no complaints with them and I did a lot of research before I bought our Predator. Everything I read said they are good units. The 9000/7250 model we have can go 12-16 hrs on a full (8 gal) tank at a 50% load from reading user reviews. Ran ours for the 4 hours our power was out Friday night and it used less than 2 gal.
