bought the unit after the last power outage in our area. Since then had another one that lasted a day, main reason for the purchase was the house has a sump pump, but a bonus was I can have a lot more utilities added, the refrigerator, furnace and a few light.
I bought this after hurricane season last year and had no need to crank it after purchase. However, now that we have a hurricane in the gulf for the 2023 season, I decided to get the generator out and test it. Following a few simple instructions, I had the generator purring like a cat. Brings a little more peace of mind knowing that if the hurricane comes through my area of central Florida, I will not have to endure days of waiting for power to be restored. Also gives me peace of mind that I can run it on one of two fuel options.
Just received this generator.. Very easy setup. Well built, sturdy, daul fuel (gas/propane) with manual pull start, electric push button start and remote fob start capabilities. I plan to use it for emergency power as a whole house generator, connected to the main electrical panel via an interlock kit.
Purchased this for a business as a backup power to run our primary IT equipment in case of power failure. The dual fuel is nice as we always have propane on hand for our forklift. It delivers plenty of power to keep our main network and few primary servers online in case of a power outage. The push button start and 50 amp twist lock make it quick and simple to start up and connect to our transfer switch to keep things running.
Honestly just bought this and am leaving this review now because while I’m registering the warranty it was an opportunity to get a free cover if I leave a review. Hopefully later after I’ve tried it out and used it awhile I can do a follow up. But so far I love it. Very well made and heavy, which to me means solid and substantial, what I think a heavy duty generator should be. Very pleased so far!
