I bought this generator earlier this month and have been getting the 50 amp transfer switch connections completed for whole house power operations. I have yet to fire it up yet. I plan to update this review as soon as it is tested and run under power out conditions. I give it 4 stars just based on it's capabilities and features.
I originally purchased a smaller Ryobi generator after a power outage due to a hurricane and it did the job, but I wanted to get more power! (Que grunts) I looked into all the options and in my opinion, this is by far the best in this class range compared to the others with the options and power available to me now. Now I can power anything in the house I need for long power outages without the need to pull start(even though the motor starts right up with the first pull anyways). Haven't had to use it for that yet luckily, but I know I don't have to worry about that anymore. For the price, this is a great long-term investment.
I bought this generator two weeks ago and love it. I live in florida and connected this generator to my transfer switch and work as perfect as expected. I will recommended.
We needed a generator to power electrical tools at many locations on our property and as a backup source for our travel trailer. This generator was easy to assemble (attaching the feet and wheels). The instructions in the owner's manual for running the generator are very good. The remote starting feature is very useful as is the dual full capability (we use a small propane tank to run the generator in stead of gas). I was surprised the generator runs so quietly. This generator is portable (has wheels) but at over 200 pounds, I cannot lift it myself into the back of our jeep. Thank goodness for the winch on the jeep.
We got this generator to power our home in case of storms and/or blackouts. Not much faith in our depleting grid. This is at least peace of mind. Overall great machine with great features. Assembly was pretty quick, install wheels and supplied oil. Gas it up and connect the battery. Started right up no issues. Haven't got the wiring ready on the house yet but I'm sure this machine will be just fine. And the dual fuel option is pretty awesome too.
