I bought this unit to provide emergency backup power to my home in the event of winter power outages like the ones we experienced last year here in Texas. This unit is a perfect size to power just about everything in my house and the with the added benefit that it will run on either gasoline or propane. Also, its portable, so I can take it camping or to relatives if they are have power outage issues as well.
I bought this generator for small home backup - fridge, freezer, well pump, water heater, etc.... It will not run my A/C or HVAC but I have an electric heater already so I'm good. Easy to setup out of the box, you may need help as it's decently heavy to get out of the box. But setup was a breeze, took my time - 20 min tops. Easy to start - 3 ways - remote, electric or pull. Not nearly as loud as I thought and easy to move with the handle and wheels. I highly recommend. Just waiting for electrician to install my transfer switch and I'm good to go.
We live on Whidbey Island, WA, north of Seattle and have frequent power outages during storms, sometimes for several days. This generator, hooked up to our house electrical system, and powered by our main propane tanks, gives us peace of mind that we will not lose water and septic sewer use, and electric lighting and heat. It is easy to use and can run for long periods. Setup, with services from an electrician and propane piping plumber was not difficult.
