One of the best Generators out there!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This portable generator by Generac is exactly what you need for camping, power outages, or basically whatever diy project. It's tri fuel which makes it convenient and it's not very loud so it won't disturb your neighbors!

Huge!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This generator is huge! It's super powerful and loud. It powers a 250amp welder with no problem and powers our small RV with the ac easily. It is loud but it's a beast! It is heavy but easy to move with the handle bar and big tires. My husband is very happy with it.

Must have!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed when receiving the generator. It is heavy and the packaging met the needs so it was protected during shipping. There was even a couple strips is 1/2” wood to protect the parts. You will need a couple people to load it into a pickup bed. The first thing I do with all equipment is read the manual and check for missing parts. One very small issue, the bolts in the parts list did not match what was shipped. There were 4 of the M8 bolts and the list showed 8. There were 2 bolts in the. Kit that were not on the parts list but matched where they were needed to be installed. This is not an issue with the unit at all but I do like when the parts list matches what is sent. On to assembly. There isn't a lot to do to get the unit ready for use. Bolt on the wheels, frame feet and handle. Then add oil and install the included battery and it's ready for use. The tires are run flat tires and once mounted with the feet the unit sits level. After turning on the breakers and filling with gas I hit the electric start and it fired right up on the second try. I plugged it into my 5th wheel camper. I used my sure protector and it did not show any faults. I then turned on every light, refrigerator, microwave, exhaust fans, two air conditioners, and the furnace. The unit had no trouble at all keeping up with the load in fact pretty much seemed to just idle through. The unit is a tri-gas unit. I plugged in the easy quick connect propane hose and hooked it up to a 20lb propane bottle. I turned the fuel selector knob from gas to propane and it switched flawlessly with just a slight hesitation. I didn't notice any interruptions with the loads when it switched. After letting the unit set for a few days I pulled it out of the garage and rolled it outside. The very sturdy u shaped handle is great and makes rolling it around a breeze. The temperature was 45 degrees so cool but not cold out. I wanted to try starting with the pull cord. It is a big engine to pull start (500cc) and it started on the second pull. It may have fired on the first pull had I anticipated the force needed to pull it. I let it warm up and plugged in my welder. I don't typically use a welder on a generator but it is a need occasionally. My welder is a Vulcan Mimas 215, I'd prefer a Miller or Lincoln but I work with what I have. I used it to weld using.30 flux core on 3/16” steel. A little heavier than suggested on 120V power. As soon as I started welding it tripped the 120V GFI reception the generator. Usually I don't plug into a GFI receptacle for welding but I reset it so I could see if it would actually run my welder. The second time it didn't trip and yes ran my welder as well as if plugged into shore power. I don't know why the receptacle didn't trip the second time but it held. Al in all I love this generator and am anxious to get a transfer switch set up on my electrical panel for the house. And have back up power during a power outage and have a good outlet to run and exercise this beast with a good load on it monthly. The noise this unit produced was not that bad, a lot quieter than others I've dealt with.

Great to have as a backup for extreme weather

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live in a place that is prone to have extreme climate, and sometimes the power can go out when it's either too hot or too cold. A generator is a necessity for those occasions, particularly to help keep the house at an adequate temperature - whether by powering AC or help turn on space heaters and/or fans. What I like about this product is that it is tri fuel - it can work with gasoline, propane, and natural gas, depending on your needs. We tested it out with gasoline and it worked just fine. Gasoline is also how you can get the most wattage and longest run time. Noise level is pretty ok as well, about what expected for a generator this big. The unit is very heavy, which makes a little bit tricky to get it out of the box for the first time. But once you install the wheels and handle, moving it around becomes super easy. Assembly would also be easier if it included the hex tool, but otherwise it was ok and pretty straightforward. We now need a natural gas hookup so we can have the option to use any of three methods it needed.
