I bought this for the eventual power outage either in the summer when the Texas grid is overloaded, or the winter, when the lines go down. It offers enough power to let me run all the essentials in the house at an economical price. It fired right up the first time. Came with the oil needed as well as cables for parallel hookup, which I won't need, and a spark plug tool.
Power went out a few weeks ago with no fix time established by com-ed Found this unit the following morning and by noon I was up and running; plugging in an unbelievable amount of stuff! I love the screen showing KW in use / gave me a great window into capacity of the unit / power came back on days faster than expected but so glad to own this beautiful little machine/ sitting on a shelf in the basement ready for the next outage!
