works well
Bought it during an ice storm, no power for 4 days. It powered our whole house, however our house is new and very efficient all lights are LED. gas heat, water heater, dryer. Gas tank was large enough to run all night-NICE! only down fall is there is no gas tank drain, will need to siphon gas out of tank to run engine dry for long term storage as we seldom are without power.

I REALY LIKE THIS MACHINE , MY BATTERY WAS BAD, I CONTACTED THE COMPANY AND RECEIVED A NEW BATTERY, NOW EVERY THING OK.

Besides being portable it has EXACTLY the features I was looking for!
I have been considering purchasing a backup power source for my home and had actually purchased a portable generator years ago. But as I've gotten older, having to pull the cord to get it started takes a toll on my shoulder and then there's the thought of my wife having to start it if I'm not home or able, it's no longer practicable. So I have been weighing my options and this unit looks great, compact, has electric start! Even included the battery. Although, I haven't needed it just yet, I feel confident that when I do I'm going to be able to get it going without injuring myself. and i won't have to worry about having being without power!!

No idol control
Little disappointed.. my other generator has idol control slows motor down with no load.
Not a deal breaker... still very happy with the 3 generators I have bought thorough out the years

Works as advertised
This unit was recommended by my electrician. I’ve only needed it once, and it worked as advertised. assembling was very easy. It had sat idle for more than a month in a cold shed but started right up with the. Push of the button yesterday.

Easy enough to use. Can power the whole house, just not everything at the same time.
Received the generator. Did a test run. Works great. Hope I don’t have to use it, but really nice to know it there if I need to.

Works well, enough power for the whole house
Except for hurricane Sandy, over the last 30 + years we had never lost our power for more than a couple hours at a time. And even those weren’t frequent. Then this past summer we had a Nor’ Easter with 60-70 MPH winds that lasted for a full day. We lost our power and did not get it back for almost 8 days because of the extensive damage causing slow repairs. I did not want to go through that again especially in the winter when not having heat is a safety issue. Bought this generator because it had enough power to run the furnace or central air plus the the two refrigerators and freezer we have. Had an electrician do the wiring to do the whole and not run extension cords. Have used it once since I bought it when we lost our power during a snow storm with high winds. The electronic start worked great and we had power enough to run everything. for the six hours till power was restored. Found the generator easy to start and run. Is small enough to store pretty easily in my garage. On the minus side it would be nice if it was quieter. And this is knit picking but it’s not easy to register and the serial number is hard to find. Added gas stabilizer as there is a decent amount of gas left in the tank and I intend to run it once a month till the gas is used up. Overall I am very happy with the purchase and is well worth the price for the peace of mind and convenience for the infrequent times of power loss.
