Bought this generator for emergency use and luckily have not had to use it. but its pretty much ready to go right out of the box! the remote is a nice feature. I'm going to have a professional set up a cable from the unit to my breaker box. I'll be able to close off the main breaker and then back flow power to the box during power failures. Its not an automatic solution, but we don't experience many power failures where I live.
Have not used yet so will update when we do but assembly was easy and has everything needed to run our house when the power goes out. Hopefully all works well.
