Great unit, nothing but pure power

This unit is even better than I thought it would be. It has the ability to power everything in the house with power to spare.

This product is amazing

Starts up on first try. Quieter operation than most generators. Had it for over a year and it's never let us down. Great product.

I have not had to use it yet, there have been no power outages

I bought it in case of power outages, so far I have not had to use it. The reviews I have gotten from friends is the main reason I bought it.

Good value but the battery for the electric start is an issue

Good value for the money but have had problems keeping the battery charged - without the battery at full power you cannot start the engine.

It's a nice unit

It's nice that this unit has gages and the instructions on the unit itself so you don't have get the manual out to figure it out

Could be lower decibel level

Generator runs great but it’s LOUD LOUD LOUD!!!!!! With the technology figured the noise level would be lower a decibel.

Wanted a quality generator

I looked for a while in line and decided to purchase the 3600. It will support our needs quite well.
