The unit is quite the hefty beast! Our first unit arrived with damage that looks like it originated at the manufacturer. Not sure if this is a wider issue with quality control, but thankfully, the retailer we ordered through was quick to send out a replacement.
I had noticed this unit receiving very positive feedback and reviews via YouTube and other places, so I knew I wanted to get a good one. Despite the hiccup with the first unit, I am still very confident in my purchase.
I stayed home waiting for this to be delivered and it was well worth the wait. This thing is loaded with just about every feature possible!! I have no doubt that it'll perform well as needed!
Assembly was easy right out of the box just having to install the wheels & fill with oil. Waited for my electrician to assist with starting it up for the first time. Went with the 50 amp whole house setup. Had to make sure the ground wires were correctly configured. Followed instructions to a T. Used the remote feature. It cycled twice before actually starting on the third cycle after enough gas was delivered to where it was needed. Ran 2 1/2 gallons through it at about 1/2 load as recommended. Ran for almost 4 hours. Ran the whole house. I haven't installed LEDs around the whole house yet & it ran everything. We did not try to run the AC & will do that in the spring. Was satisfied with everything overall. Hope this helps. If you don't know a lot about generators or electrical stuff definitely rely upon a professional to guide you through everything. I dictated the steps to set it up & install everything & I had my son video it all so I can rely upon that if needed in the future.
