As the Powerhorse LC2000i and the Predator 2000 do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary.
Power Comparison
The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the Predator 2000 compare to the Powerhorse LC2000i.
- Power: As both the Predator 2000 and the Powerhorse LC2000i share the same running wattage of 1,600W, they will both allow you to simultaneously power the same appliances. In addition, as the 2 generators have the same starting watts (2,000 W), they will both give you the same boost needed to start the motor of your most demanding appliances.
- Runtime: When loaded to 25% of their max capacity, the Predator 2000 offers a higher runtime on a full tank than the Powerhorse LC2000i: it can operate for up to 12 hours, whereas the Powerhorse LC2000i offers a maximum runtime of 8.5 hours.
- Fuel Efficiency: With a gasoline consumption at 25% load of 0.1 GPH (gallon per hour), the Predator 2000 is more fuel efficient than the Powerhorse LC2000i and its 0.13 GPH. The former's operation will therefore cost less in terms of the money spent on gasoline. Inverter generators like these 2 are of the most fuel efficient (and quiet) type.
- THD: Both generators offer a low THD (<5% for the Predator 2000 and <1.5% for the Powerhorse LC2000i) and are therefore perfectly suitable to safely power your sensitive electronic devices.
- Noise: With a noise of 52 dBA, the Powerhorse LC2000i allows for a quieter operation than the 58 dBA of the Predator 2000. The former will therefore be the most suitable for you if you take noise emission seriously.
Portability Comparison
- Bulkiness: With dimensions of L19.6" x W11.2" x H17.1", the Powerhorse LC2000i offers a much more compact experience of power generation than the Predator 2000 and its L22.6" x W12.6" x H18.5".
- Weight: With a weight of 46.3 lbs, the LC2000i is slightly less heavy than the 2000 (which weighs 49 lbs).
- Portability: Both offer a handle, which improves your grip when you wish to move them around.
Feature Comparison
- Starting System: Both devices can get running via a conventional pull-start mechanism.
- Outlets: With a total of 3 AC outlets, the Powerhorse LC2000i offers more AC receptacles than the Predator 2000, which has 2 AC outlets. None of them feature GFCI outlets. The latter also offers a DC output. In addition, it is worth noting that they both only produce 120V. For more detailed information regarding all their respective receptacles, refer to the Predator 2000's and the Powerhorse LC2000i's product pages.
- Fuel Gauge: Thanks to a fitted fuel gauge, the Predator 2000 provides instant visibility of the fuel level.
- Technology: The Predator 2000 benefits from a welcomed additional security feature: its CO Secure technology monitors carbon monoxide and automatically shuts off the generator if the ambient levels become unsafe.
- Warranty: The Powerhorse LC2000i benefits from a significantly longer warranty. It is covered for up to 2 years, while the Predator unit is only covered for up to 90 days without purchasing a warranty extension.
