Great Portable Home Backup

Order after Hurricane Irma did in our 12 year old generator. Great price for the features and power output. Took about 10 minutes to assemble, put gas in and it started right up. Would recommend. Power cord is a nice included additional item.

GP8000E

Product is an excellent buy compared to other competitive products. Easy to operate and can be moved without any difficulty. I would recommend this product to others who do not want to spend for a outside permanent generator.

Product is easy to use

I purchased this as backup when we lose electricity. It was very easy to setup, has good features and is very easy to run.I was surprised at how little I had to do to get it running.

Back up Generator for home

I bought this generator for a back up power source for my home . I have only had the one chance to use it but it did what I want it to do.

Typical features

Tank has a coating that is flaking off .no good way to clean. Replacement is half cost of new. Probably replace with different brand
