I purchased this after a prolonged power outage in Connecticut. Two days after the electrician wired a connection we lost power again. I had the generator running on gasoline powering nearly the entire house in 10 minutes. It kept us going without a hitch. It's easy to start and reliable. What a comfort to have for emergencies!
I bought this as a home power backup option with the freedom to take it out for powering future outdoor events etc. I haven't had a serious power outage yet to really put it through it's paces but where I live the power can potentially stay out for days. I did do some diligent testing though and was very impressed by it's ability to power pretty much my whole home at full blast, minus the electric cooking range and the electric dryer. And this was only using the 30A outlet and running on propane. Whole (4bdrm) home= propane force air furnace, 240v well pump, all lights, several computers, monitors, 40" plasma screen, etc. You will always have to do your own wattage calculations for your home.
This generator feels very modern and cleanly designed. With the remote electric start, and how it auto restarts if it stops for any reason, these features make it feel like a modern sportscar where other generators I've used feel like a smelly rusty ol chevy. It's heavy but pretty easily maneuverable on wheels.
Powerful, flexible, portable, and affordable, feels like a win to me.
Purchased this generator because it is dual fuel and should be big enough for emergency home power. The unit was received in excellent condition with no damage. I ran it for about 30 minutes with no load on gas and then switched it to propane with no issues.
Ultra quiet very nice well worth the price . Can't wait to use it I tried it running it for 10 minutes and this thing was so quiet I couldn't believe it. I drove 3 hours one way just to get this
