Excellent backup generator

Have had this unit for about a year and it has done an excellent job providing reliable back-up power for my house. We are on a well, septic and natural gas, therefor my electric needs are specific. Power for the well pump (240 volts) gas furnace and water heater and an select assortment of electrical needs are easily provided by this generator running on gasoline or LPG. Natural gas limits the ability to run simultaneous use of high amperage items, but we use NG as a last resort. The unit is heavy but the wheels allow placement with minimal difficulty. Starting is easy on all fuels as long as one uses the correct procedure. Our NG line is 60 feet long (1/2 inch) and does not restrict the starting or running of the unit. The unit is a bit loud but being in the countryside, that is of little concern. It may be a bit more bothersome to your neighbours in residential areas, but easily disarmed by offering an extension cord. Overall the unit is effective at an attractive price. Easy to maintain, maneuver and refuel. We run this through our panel with a generlink and 50 amp 40 foot cable. Look for deals and enjoy this excellent piece of equipment.
I would recommend this to a friend!

THD is NOT ACCEPTABLE for electronics

Verified Purchase:No
Well made and tri-fuel. Used for propane in the cold -needed babysitting, gasoline was okay. Dont connect electonics - cell, pc, circuit board appliances. It seems THD will ultimately damage them. My mistake for buying but what doesn't have electronics in it nowadays?

Response from FIRMAN Power EquipmentBy Dawn Mayer, FIRMAN Technical Support, October 14, 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear you appreciate the build quality and tri-fuel capability of your FIRMAN generator. However, we’re sorry to learn about the challenges you’ve had when running sensitive electronics.
Most standard portable generators, including this model, produce a Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) level best suited for tools, appliances, and general household use. Since this is an open-frame unit, it operates with a THD level of approximately 11–14%
If you’d like, our team can review your current unit and discuss options under our Repair or Replace policy to ensure it’s performing as intended. Please reach out to us at 844-347-6261 or by email at info@FIRMANpowerequipment.com
so we can assist you directly.
Thank you again for choosing FIRMAN, we truly appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to support you.

Set up the generator today, but the plastic oil filler cap immediately became cross-threaded and I couldn't get it screwed back in - VERY frustrating.

Good Unit, BUT....

Backup power for my cottage and works great. Be sure to research on Hz and engine speed if running electronics. Frequency was too high, had to adjust to run my furnace. Only real complaint is no fuel shut off from tank.

Exceeded my expectations.

Length of ownership:1 year or longer
Great unit. Runs my entire home including the central A/C, furnace etc.
Have installed a Generlink on the house with a surge protector built in and have no problems on gas or Propane.
Year 2 - won't crank. (thus the 4 stars). Small problem, just irritating. Have to short solenoid to crank it over. Either bad solenoid or ignition switch. Will fix it soon as Ifind time.
Otherwise very good unit and very glad i bought it.
Worth noting tho... rather heavy to move around and quite loud (not sure how it compares to others).
