Works Well

Generator works well. Surprisingly at lot louder than advertised. Co sensor is very sensitive as well. It's a recent purchase so will give it some time.

Looks perfect

Just got it. Already to start it up. I'm hoping it works sweet. To run AC in the summer when power outages. It's a big bad boy generator. I have it 4 stars because I haven't used it yet!. But if it's works perfectly then 5 stars.

Great Generator

Great generator for the couple of times we've used it. My family and I live on acres and we all get to use it. It is a great investment if you are thinking of getting it. It is super huge and heavy but if you have a lot of man power it will be fine.

A lot for the Money

Preliminary Review - Easy to set up and run. Huge amount of power and features for the price. Versatility on the Tri-fuel. Modified Natural Gas line to run and was inexpensive.

Great generator with nice features

We haven't had to use it yet for a power outage but we have ran the generator several times just to break it in. So far so good. We are happy with our new peace of mind.

Respectable price for size of generator

1. Surprised the gas tank was made of metal and not poly 2. Assembly instructions mentioned the use of four (4) washers when attaching wheels to frame, (a) no washers were included (b) if washers had been provided there would not be enough space on axel shaft to use them - assumed change in axle design 3. Use as house backup power in event of hurricane or ice storm. Plan to follow breaking procedure and then put up in long term storage - owner's manual recommends draining carburetor bowl for long tern storage. Owner's manual does not provide details on location and steps to perform this task. It appears its located under the air filter housing which may be a challenge.

Easy Set up!

Just received my generator. The way it is packaged for shipping makes it super easy to put together. The wheels go on easy! The oil supplied was in a 1.6 L bottle which is exactly the amount of oil needed for set up. I saved and refilled the oil bottle so my next oil change will be easy. One thing I would have like to have included was the male quick connect for the Natural Gas supply side.

Pros and cons

I use this generator daily on the farm. It works great. I like the low idle feature to conserve fuel. However, one of the 30a receptacles has gone out after 9 months, and on low idle it tends to burn out capacitors on compressors when using the low idle mode.

Unbox, assembly & Break in review.

I purchased the 28,000 this season because it's one of the only portable generators capable of powering my entire property. I like that I can run the house off the 50amp outlet and run the well pump off the 30amp outlet at the same time.. without over working the machine. Now this is not a long term review, because I have not ran the machine longer than the break in period. But my unboxing, assembly and break in of what I received has been impressive. The packaging is proper, on a hand built wood platform, adequate for the massive size and weight. The assembly was simple and not full of unnecessary steps to get the generator ready. This is important, because maybe you need power immediately and don't want to fart around.. and I like that the machine came with a quality break in oil, looks like a Castrol product. The first start up was without issue. And for a 999cc engine, this thing is surprisingly quiet. So far I am very pleased. I have faith that the quality I feel in my hands, will be dependable when the power is out. Don't plan to lift this without 4 of your best men.. your gonna need an equipment hook.
