I must say this product has exceeded my expectations. It's more than capable of running my whole house and having power left over. The generator came fully assembled other than needing oil put in it and the battery needs to be plugged in. it's basically ready to go. I applaud GE on this generator
Purchased this generator for whole home power outage situations and misc power requirements. It's a great brand with a very long history of making great products. This generator should last a very long time.
load calcuation for home was well within 9500 watt capasity. was advised to size generator a few thousand watts above calcuated average use. 50 amp transfer panel accommodated well, dryer, water heater and required lights and outlets. performed well with initial trial.
Setup was very straightforward. Good instructions. Quieter than I thought it would be. Dual-fuel works fine...I tried both but will probably be using gasoline until it is hard-wired and then I'll plumb propane to the same location from our house tank. 2 minor issues: A hose was pressed against the choke lever when I unpackaged the unit. It wouldn't allow the automatic choke to close and the generator wouldn't start until I discovered the issue. It just needed to be bent out of the way. Also, the remote starter fob was clipped to the recoil start handle. I expected it in the wheel kit. Overall, an excellent value.
This generator is great! Dual fuel option is a nice feature. Wheels, and legs go on in no time, very sturdy construction, easy to start, and switch over.
