Larger portable generator

I bought this larger generator to pretty much provide power to the whole house without the expense of buying a permanent one. After receiving and assembling I added oil and just enough fuel to try things out. I installed a manual transfer switch and 50 amp receptacle between my disconnect panel and my house breaker box so I'm never energizing the utility meter while using my Generator. Dont have a lot of use on Generator but the initial trial serviced the house with several lights on, refrigerator running, Electric oven and electric dryer all on at the same time with no issues. Now if the electric water heater was in use also there would probably be more drag on the generator so I imagine I would still have to monitor my usage but time will tell. Rated 4 stars only because dont have a lot of time of use yet.
Love the fact I can use gasoline and LP gas to run generator. I live in a rural setting and it makes it more convenient to keep fuel on hand. The fact that you can switch from one to the other while still makes it even more desirable.
I have 3 other generators, none of which can handle the load that I need, (two A/Cs in my camper) this generator does it with ease and has power to spare!
We are very happy with our generator purchase. The shipping was timely and it arrived in perfect condition. The manual and setup were easy to follow. We did start it up and it ran perfectly. We really like the manual start button and bonus remote start feature. This generator has enough power to run everything we will need during a power outage.
