I purchased this from the contractor that installed the outside-house wiring and cut-out on the circuit board. The unit is "reasonably" quiet. The wheels on the frame make it possible for 1 person to move the generator. The electric starter is working very well. There is a remote keyfob to start and stop, which will be nice when it's raining (how often does the electricity grid fail on a sunny day?). The gas tank holds 6.5 gallons, so it can run quite a while. Our house is all electric heating and cooling with well water. I can't say that I'm looking forward to using this generator, but the next time the electricity goes out we'll be ready to continue living in our house.
We have had 2 very bad storms and the power has gone out twice this year, so we bought 9500 dual fuel generator. I love the remote start. Now we are ready if it goes out again.
I bought this a month ago and have been very happy. Well built and love the option to run off propane which I mainly due unless there is an absolute need to use gasoline. I don’t want to him up the carburetor with ethanol.
