Purchased this with a little hesitation after reading the reviews. The box was all beaten up when it arrived but the product was in perfect condition! after assembly, it started right up with no issues and has been operating fine since.
Bought this about 3 weeks ago, got our house wired today to switch over and run off the generator in case of a power failure. Tested it after wiring....runs the entire house including A/C.
very easy assembly out box, only took a few minutes. instructions included just need fuel. Started first time like champ, good choice in purchasing this generator
This generator can run my 3 ton A/C, all lights, tv, and another decent load. I can run either the microwave, one stove burner or oven, well pump, dishwasher, and even the water heater. My water heater is on a 20 amp 2 pole breaker and draws about 15 amps. The water heater running with the A/C does pull it down quite a bit but it will carry the load. If I was in an emergency situation I would probably just heat the water in the morning and then turn the A/C on. I'm sure it would not run my electric back-up heat in the heat pump in the winter so I am going to put toggle switches at the unit to turn off the 24 volt signal from the t-stat to the electric heat just in case I want to run the heat pump. I have a gas propane wall heater so I really wouldn't need to run it, but it never hurts to have extra options. Very pleased with the design, power, and functionality of this generator. The battery is easy to access.
