OK for an emergency back up, for a couple hours, but not to run your grow continuously.
Small generators will have the same problem, only they will run out of gas even faster.
Don't waste your money.
10/4 on that but how do people get away with using all that power on there electric bill? is there another way all i was using b4 was about 1500w but i have a bigger place now and wanted to go bigger

and why does it say on the bigger ones 3000w or better that they will run 12hr continuously?
