This is a beast of a generator, but capable of powering our whole house. It is quieter than most 6000-8000W generators. It is easy to move around. I have put it through 1 hurricane and 1 ice storm so far with flawless results. Love the remote and push button start!
Exceeded my expectations! I made this purchase for back up Emergency power, and never had the need to unbox it for a year. When I did, the assembly was easy, 45 minutes, one man. Although unit was extremely heavy. Key fob paired first try. Unit cranked first attempt, and powered all of my needs. I would have rated it excellent but had to subtract a star for the weight of the unit, price range, and for not having any Options for cell phone controls or status reviews.
I literally just got this. The delivery was perfect set up was easy. Alot of stuff was done for you already like key fob paired and stuff. Will unnatural transfer switch and put it to work soon.
This actually has understandable instructions for ltd. assembly and for starting and usage. Very "woman" friendly. I live in a mountainous area that loses power for week at a time in winter sometimes so this generator with a Generlink allows me to power the whole house rather than to be confined to fire heat and candles because it has large wattage to handle the job. PLUS it has a little remote control to start the unit with from the house. What a plus. I am SO happy. Oh, and a handle to moving this 300 lb unit is a snap whether you are big and strong or not!
I needed a portable generator since my wife is now on oxygen and where we live we get above average power outages. Took me 5 minutes to put wheels on and rubber feet, 5 mins to add oil and review quick startup. Electric start fired generator right up. After a few minutes I added 4 power tools just to see how it ran. There was no sound difference like it was struggling! I am very pleased at this point with the generator. Next a electrician to update the fuse box and I'm all set for next outage!
I purchased this item about a month ago and I’m quite pleased so far. Easy push button start, remote control, or pull cord. Lots of power for a portable generator and not nearly as loud as I thought it would be.
