This generator performs very well. I really like the fact that the 240 volt plug has a real circuit breaker rather than the pop out type. Makes a big difference in hot weather. The only thing I don't like is that it does not charge the battery when running. After multiple starts you have to charge it with a charger.

I have not had a chance to run this new generator for any extended period of time, but I can tell you do not buy a generator under 5000 watts if you intend to use many appliances. My 3/4 horse sump pump alone takes over 3000 watts to initiate. For the money you cannot beat this generator mine started right up after easy assembly and I have ran it a few times for 10 minutes for my personal beliefs for break in.

My generator has worked flawlessly since I purchased it. Unfortunately I have been unable to get it to work as I had intended, which is to run my pool circulation pump during winter power outages. I have verified through multiple electrical experts that my connection from the generator to the pool equipment is correct. My next step is to adjust the Hertz output down to 60 from the 62 it is currently producing. Any direction you can provide me to make that adjustment would be sincerely appreciated.

I put a meter on the outputs and ran different test loads. The generator voltage dip was minimal. Fast recovery. Pretty consistent voltage and current output. Very happy with this generator.

I've only had the opportunity to use the generator a couple of times but it does everything I could ask. This unit actually has enough power to run essentials for myself and my neighbor. He's got the snow thrower and I've got the generator.

This just what I expected it to be. The electric start is wonderful. The handle folds up to move the generator and folds down for storage. Everything is easy accessible and viewable. We have used it twice so far for power outages.

It is a little louder than I expected but does everything I need it to do. I used it for five days straight only shutting it down for gas refill and oil change with no problems.

Living rural, having back up power sources are a must. It’s an investment in the tools that helps forced, rustic living tolerable. Consider the top 3 best pieces of equipment and get learned about them. I know you will choose Generac also.

I haven't had to use it yet. I've started it a few times since it was delivered and am very pleased. The electric start works well. It is easy to start with the cord too. I hope I don't need it this winter, but have it if I do.

Haven't had a real reason to use yet, did try it and worked great, very easy to use and easy on gas.Run my whole garage onit just to see if it would take care of different tools at same time, no problem
