We went through hurricane Ian last year in SW Florida and was without power for a week. We had my folks and my sister and nephews staying at our place and we were all stuck due to the flooding. No power means no water (we’re on a well). 9 people stranded in one home in the heat with no water equals a pretty rough week. Learned my lesson. Got a transfer switch installed in the home and bought this generator for home back up so that situation never happens again.
The minor assembly was a breeze and I was very grateful it included the oil. No scratches or dings at all. Now…I wait for the next storm.
Great features . So much better than the old one .

Just got it today and I had to try it out already . I love the electric start and the remote start the most . It's enough to run my wall mounted A/C unit and everything I might need in a power outage . I've been needing a new generator for a while and I am very happy to have this one .
Easy to set up following the included instructions. Took about 10 minutes. Started up and runs fine powering an air compressor and power saw. Still in its break-in period so keeping load below 50%. Not super-quiet, but not too loud either.
Bought this a few months ago to live off grid in my RV while building our permanent solar power system. I love the dual fuel feature. Friends and family had the same one and highly recommended it.
I upgraded to this generator from a 5000 watt, 30 year old generator that still worked, but was struggling to keep up with the modern demands of a household. In addition to keeping the lights on, I can run my well pump, sump pump, furnace, 1 or 2 burners on the electric range, window AC, and even the oven. Not all at the same time, but it will hold these loads as needed. That is just what I need when the power goes out here in the Northeast.
Bought this for peace of mind for when we may need it due to hurricanes. Excellent piece of security to have on hand. Great functionality. Assembles easily. the Fact that it runs of propane and gasoline is the best feature for me.
