Awesome Generator

I purchased this generator to replace my older generac 5500w unit. I plugged into our home with the direct 30amp 240v plug and it worked perfectly. It ran our furnace, well pump and refrigerator. I love the flexibility of gas and propane. I have only used it with propane / and it worked just great.

Just what I was looking for

I purchased this unit recently, It appears this generator is a perfect fit for my needs. I have been looking and comparing generators for the last six months to fulfill my needs. It came with everything needed, all I needed to supply was fuel. The unit started easier than previous units, I have had several in the past 30 years. I am well pleased. It is nice to have a generator made by a company that has been making generators for well over a 100 years. Ray

Easy setup. Easy start up

Just bought this unit for those unexpected outages due to storms in the spring. Set it up and had it running in less than 20 minutes. Started on the 1st pull. Plugged in some tools to make sure it worked and it didn’t phase it. Ran like a champ.

perfect for hurricane prep

I bought this generator as a main piece of my hurricane kit, and it has proven to be very useful. Obviously it does an excellent job for running power tools/pressure washers in the garage but it also worked great in power outages for running a refrigerator and a small ac unit. Overall I couldnt be happier with this unit.

Perfect Size & Features

I purchased this generator almost two months ago to use around the farm and to provide emergency power should the electricity service go down. I opted for the manual start instead of battery start as there might be long periods of time when I don't use it and I didn't want to have to rely on the battery to start it, plus the cost difference wasn't worth it for me. Being able to run on either gasoline or propane allows me great flexibility when it comes to fuel sources. The generator always starts on the 2nd pull. IMHO it's not too loud like some other units. I have used the generator to power my air compressor, drills, saws, grinders, and even my 50 Amp plasma cutter. Great buy!

Quieter than expected! easy to operate.

Bought this in Apr, 2020. Quieter than I expected it to be. 1/2 day operation on 1 refuleling is nice. quick flip from propane is nice. Emergency start on propane while I run out to get 5gal gasoline allows ease for emergency power without storing flammable fuel just in cae. As an amateur radio operator involved in emergency communication, this allow for lots of equipment with different electrical lines spread out.

Exactly what I needed

I have a sub-panel installed on my house so if the power goes out, I can hook up a generator and run my essentials, HV/AC, fridge, and sump pumps. Power doesn't go out very often so I wanted a generator that ran on something other than gas so that the fuel doesn't go bad in the tank waiting to be used. Propane never goes bad so this is perfect! Work great to power my camper as well at sites where there is no power.

Solid Purchase

I recently purchased this generator and am very happy with it. The build quality is good. I put in the oil and some fuel and it started on the first pull. It is easy to use. I bought for emergency use and it should be capable to running all the appliances in my house. I was concerned it might get beat up in shipping based on other reviews, but fedex delivered it in good shape. My only complaint (which is minor) - the oil drain plug is located directly over the lower support of the frame. Oil changes could be messy as there is not enough room to fit a pan between the plug and frame and oil will drain directly on the frame.

Novice Generator User

Am someone with no generator experience . This generator was very easy to assemble with clear and precise instructions. Everything I needed to get my product up and running was there (including oil). Test ran everything without a hitch. Just waiting for power to go out to use. would highly recommend

Nice power to cost ratio

I bought this generator as a back up for my home. I has all of the features I need, including the option to use propane instead of gas. It may not be the biggest generator but it will serve my needs in an emergency. An added bonus is it is from a well regarded brand, Westinghouse.
