what an awesome home back up Gen - quiet, easy to manuever, powers EVERYTHING in my house (HVAC, Appliances, lights, fridges, etc) i used this duirng the last outage and it powered my home for almost 16 hours straight connected to my NG line at the side of my house- it gave me the confidence that should i be forced to run for an extended period of time- i can with my NG connect. i love this thing, super quiet- genmax Ultraquiet tech is a lot quiet than some of my other generators that ive had int he past- and this is an open frame inverter- so i know all my devices are safe due to the clean energy out put (THD <3%) shipping was super easy - i ordered on tuesday and had the unit at my doorstep fridya morning. took my about 30 minutes to gett it all set up and connect the wheels - once i did that, the unit fired up right away and i ran it for almsot 8 hours straight to break it in. thing works perfect. i cant see myself buying another unit anytime soon - it small enough to load up and use portable, and packs enough power to be a stand by for my home
