All the food is fine.
Today I called Coleman PowerMate and the recording said they have
no
services rep available at this time. I thought maybe they weren't
open yet so I waited an hour and called again, same message.
I checked the internet, The company is closed, employees have been
laid
off. http://igeneratepower.com/archives/30print/

They are being sued for overrepresenting specifications and service
problems.

Hope you had a better weekend.

PS. Sunday I found out my brother-in-law bought the same unit, his
only worked a short time also. He bought a Honda.

You need about 4 K watts per fridg to get good reliable starting
cuurent. You would have had to start each device in sequence for a
small generator like that to run several freezers.

Greg, that may be fine in theory, but, I ran 6 freezers, all of them
started, all of them
ran and all of them had a 4 to 7 degree temperature drop in the hour
that they ran.
I have individual thermometers on each freezer. Four of these
frezers are
newer Kenmore freezers if that means anything. Luckily they were all
set between -4F
and -12F when the power went out. One old freezer got up to 12F, the
new ones only rose to 7F.

WHAT do you use SIX freezers for? Waiting for the big disaster?
You've aroused my curiosity.

Its business use.

Very expensive if it thaws unexpectedly.
