We recently lost power for a couple of days and a friend let us borrow a generator to save our cold stuff. Loading and unloading the generator was tough and I said then that I was buying one when the outage was over. After a good bit of research, I chose this model for the power I needed, brand and price.

This generator is perfect for us. Good backup for our little house when we lose power. Relatively low fuel consumption yet meets our needs perfectly. Easy to assemble and started on the first try no problem. I read reviews saying they had problems. Just take five minutes and read the instructions. After adding oil and gas had it running in 30 seconds.

Assembly was quick. Pull-start worked on first attempt. Runs more quietly than any generator I have had. Doesn't strain under load. Will hopefully provide us with back-up power for many years to come. Great Product! (New England power outages are frequent. This summer we were without power for 9 days after Tropical Storm Isaias.)

This thing is a beast right out of the box! Very sturdy and just feels like it has great quality. Started it up and it's not as loud as I thought my would be, and so far the power is pretty consistent on a 25% load. Assembly was a breeze! Not bad so far!

I've had the unit six weeks. It assembled as expected. It started right up, first time and every time since. I ran it for the prescribed break-in period, then again 3-4 weeks later. We had not had a power outage in that time. That will be the true test. I'm glad I spent the extra money getting a electric start model, as I was not successful in starting it with the pull rope. (I imagine a younger person could pull that rope faster, and therefore get it going that way.) I am quite happy with my investment in keeping the basement dry!

I just got hit by a 14-hour power outage. That was my first time putting the generator to test. It performed very well. I have it hooked to a 6-circuit panel running 2 furnaces, my kitchen including all appliances, my family room and 2 bedrooms. I would definitely recommend it.

I caught this generator on sale right after the New Year. I had been meaning to get one for some time but held off. Luckily I bought this when I did because it came in two days prior to a major storm that knocked out our power for 12 hours. I put this baby to use right away! Worked great powering our fridge and some entertainment items, with plenty of wattage left over if we needed to plug anything else in. I am so glad I bought this when I did!!! It was super easy to set up (minus some oil funnel issues I had at the start but squared it away quickly) and worked well throughout the outage, providing reliable power where it was needed.

Everything needed was included in the box. In less than 30 minutes I had the generator unpacked, wheels and feet installed, oil filled (supplied), filled with fuel and had it purring away. I let it run for about 15 minutes before I put it underload for the very first time. I connected our RV to the 30 amp outlet (TT-30R 120V 30A) and powered up the all the RV lights, fridge, electric water heater etc and then the air-conditioner and it worked great. I could hardly hear the generator once the AC was running. I went outside and was very happy with the noise level emitted by generator with basically everything electrical in the RV powered up and the AC running on max. It was much lighter than I expected and very easy to move about, however I would caution you to only pull the generator behind you don't try to push it with the handle or it may end up flopped over on its back (don't ask me how I know this :D ).

The generator is compact, well designed and reasonably easy to move around. Assembly was a snap as the unit can be rolled over (with no oil, etc.) on surrounding protective bars allowing wheel kit installation. Test run proved excellent. Bring on the next power failure!

We bought this to power the house. Living in the woods we do lose power and need to work from home and keep the fridge and freezer running. This generator was easy to use and quiet enough to run without all the noise. With the wheels we are able to move around without a second person. We are buying another for a family member.
