Great whole house backup generator

I bought this generator for emergency backup, I've owned this generator for two years now and I couldn't be happier. It has kept our house warm and comfortable through 10 power outages and has started every time even down to 5 degree Fahrenheit in a snow storm. I leave it outside year around I couldn't be happier.

Great Generator

I bought this to power my 2,200 sq ft home. My home is totally electric and it powers everything in my home. It also powers my central a/c unit which is an a/c, heat pump combination. I tested this generator by turning on every single light, in my home and I also started my washer and dryer along with my electric stove including the oven, and even my microwave, and air fryer. I went to extreme by running EVERYTHING in my home at the same time which will likely never happen in daily living. I wanted to be certain this generator would handle the load in a power outage and it surpassed my expectations. Great generator.

Great features, product and value.

I bought this two weeks ago. My residential power source is a rural electric cooperative. I bought it to provide backup power to my house in the event of future storm related high winds that can disrupt power for extended periods as happened this past summer. I am very happy with the quality and price of this generator.

So far so good!

I bought this in October 2024. I received it in December because it was back ordered. I bought it for a home back up power supply. I just got my transfer switch installed and the generator is now ready for it's initial start up and break in. I love it so far but tomorrow 2/6/25 will tell me if I made a good choice. I will be using propane for fuel.

What I Needed to Power The Whole House

This generator is exactly what I need to power my whole house. I live in Texas and occasionally have to deal with outages due to hurricanes. Having the option for three different fuels is a must. I highly recommend this generator for all of your needs.

Scotty, more power.

I had a smaller generator that could only provide me with 220/30 service (5700 watts). It would run everything but my A/C and hot water tank. I purchased this one so I could have 50amp/220 service and run everything in my house. I was amazed at all the features it had. Easy to set up and had running in just a few minutes. Really like the volt/amp/warning meter. The electric start is a big plus because at 73, I'm not a big fan of pull starting! Will be looking forward to testing it.

It's a BEAST!

Use this generator to charge my batteries due to being off grid. Could barely tell the engine was charging (no bogging down). My only complaint was that it came with negative battery cable disconnected. I understand why, but it was not noted on the quick start guide.

First Generator

This has to be the easiest piece of equipment I've ever assembled. Have not started it yet because I want to put the 5W30 synthetic oil in so it can run below 20 degrees F. I have read good things about this generator and I am looking forward to using it.

Great Generator

Purchased this generator because of 50 amp plug and the surge, running watts and dual fuel. When Helene hit Western NC, gas was hard to get. I like the propane run time. Just started it up and tried both fuel sources. Both worked great and 240 volt output. Easy to put it together and I liked the oil funnel. Great product at a great price.

Great Features!

Great experience using it so far. Everything is labeled well and self-explanatory in how to operate the generator. Super easy to start with the touch of a button. It is quiet when running. Very easy to move around. I recommend using a set of ramps to load it into the back of a truck, as it is too heavy for one person to lift.
