Sunny, aren't you an electrician? This was a very poor argument, at least clip on an ammeter or watt meter, there is no way those were drawing their max amperage in that test. Stick a sock in the vacuum hose and stand on the floor buffer and see how the test works.
I'm not saying that the generac can't put out 2000w, I'm just saying that test proved nothing, the floor buffer should be pulling well under half the rating and the vacuum probably more than half, but definitely not the full pop. I wouldn't be surprised if a 1 kw generator could run both of those in your test if the starts were staggered.
Or maybe people like Caboose have no clue......
1 Generac generator - 2000w continuous
1 Eureka Vacuum - 15a x 120 volts = 1440 watts
1 floor brush machine - 4.6amps x 120 volts = 552 watts
total = 1952 watts
I ran this for 10 minutes, it could have went all day I'm sure.
any other questions?

Ok, ok, because I like you.......
Name plate amperage : 12 AMPS
TESTED AMPS.........
We're going to need the voltage at the load to go along with the current to come to a power figure.
I think somehow you've been proven wrong already.
I hope that msg was directed to Caboose....
Wow thank god spring is near. You guys are STILL arguing about generators?

Burn this and life will get soooo much better
Kind of expensive to run in a generator dontcha think?
I can't wait for the snow to leave so I can pull the dirty bike out and burn some oil.
The same reason the Mc Donalds coffee now says HOT...they sue for anything in the States. Common sense...whaaat???The USA model has a caution sticker warning that the exhaust is hot and might burn you. My canadian model has no such sticker lol
