Big, Powerful, Heavy
on March 31, 2023

Overall satisfied with this machine. It's a beast, but able to power my whole house with an outdoor 50A receptacle and interlock switch put on my panel
PRO's: Powerful, appears to be well built, looks good, has 50A outlet and PLENTY of other plugs, has clean low THD power, good value, I like the low idle mode for warming up and cooling down the machine
CON's:
- Very heavy. Ok to roll on flat surface, but challenging to roll on even a slight incline. Don't expect to move this into a truck bed or up any kind of hill without some major help.
- Loud. You probably expect this, but it's about as loud as a riding mower at full throttle without mowing deck engaged
- Large Size. Before you buy, check the dimensions and make sure you have a plan on for where to store it. Will be a challenge to store in a garage if you also plan to park a car in there too.
- Oil dipstick is hard to remove and replace
- Connecting battery is a little tricky due to weird angles of wires
- Location of 50A plug means that you have to tuck the cord behind the generator wheel. Not a big deal, but could have been thought out better

My first gen was replaced under warranty. The replacement that has less the 100 hrs and is now not running well enough to power the well pump. Warranty people were very responsive to the first one. I will see how they do on the 2nd.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wicked awesome

We bought this as it had many great reviews. The shipping was great, no hassle. We were able to pickup the generator at our local shipping transportation because our roads were posted for winter. The generator was well packaged and came with more than we expected. After the wheels were installed, it is a very easy pull around. We tested the remote from inside the house and worked perfectly. We have since discovered quite a few others on our road and at work have the same generator and love it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
