Peace of Mind!

We bought this after going 12 days without power in our home following an ice storm in October 2020. We have such peace of mind now, knowing that we won't go through that again! We love the ease of storage, and the capability this generator has. We'll never be in that position again!
I picked up this generator a few months back when I realized that I'd be working from home for the foreseeable future and it works like a charm. Power went down a couple of times due to storm and the generator kept my house going, wifi, fridge, heat etc.
Bought this in prep. for hurricane season. Unit came 99% ready to go - putting on the wheels and feet were a breeze!
So far, I have only done the initial start up, but was able to plug it into my 220V, and do a "dry run" of it. It was able to power up one of my central A/C units with no problem (the smaller of the two), and I also hooked up some of my essentials (fridges, t.v., a few lights/power outlets).
The noise isnt as bad as I thought it would be. At this running wattage - it is what it is.
This this looks like it will easily handle any hurricane that comes our way - and I am not expecting us to be out cold for a week, here in Texas again, like we were earlier this year!
I will have to use the generator before I can give a thorough review. The machine seems to be well made and the assembly of the wheels is fool proof. Once I have a chance to use/test the generator I will provide a better review
