Works exactly as advertised

The rated power output is accurate. So many portable generator manufactures are overly optimistic but this generator truly has 15,000 peak watts. Yes it is heavy and noisy, but the power is consistent and clean. We use it with our ice cream trailer and as long as the generator is located 15-20 feet away from the trailer and we use acoustic baffles it is great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the generator so far. Appears to be a beast. Love the portability and dual fuel option.

We just bought this July 1st. We haven't had to use it yet but I hope it'll power up our whole house. The generator itself is very powerful so it should power up the house

Still Disappointed

It's asking me to do a review for each of my warranty registrations, so this is my second one. As I mentioned previously, two new 20,000 Watt generators arrived without the washers for the axels, or the trickle chargers necessary to keep the battery ready to go during a power failure. I let the washers slide and just went to the hardware store, but the chargers are a different matter. There is no pull rope on these big units. No battery, no start. What's worse is that we've cranked them so they can run for the 5 hour break in period as you're not supposed to exceed 50% of the load during that time and we wanted them to be ready for a real power failure. Unfortunately we're experiencing random shutdowns. It can be restarted after about 30 seconds or so, but I'm wondering if the auto choke is kicking in and choking the engine. Whatever the case, this is not acceptable for units that are for emergency use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

VERY Disappointed So Far

We ordered two of these expensive generators. They say not to exceed half load during the first 5 hours. So, we decided to run it with a small load for 5 hours to have it ready to do during a power failure. So far, it has randomly died a few times. When it does, it's as if it tries to recover, but then dies and you can re-crank it after about 30 seconds. This is not going to work during all night power failures. Additionally, neither until had the washers in the box for the axels, or the trickle charger for the batteries. These are 20,000 watt units. They have no pull rope, so if the battery is dead when you need it, you're out of luck. They're supposed to come with a charger that can be left attached so the battery is hot when you need it. This is referenced throughout the manual, yet neither of my units arrived with one. If they keep dying, If you buy one, use your American Express card so you're protected.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
