The generator came in yesterday and took me about an hour to get it up and running. I have a 6000sqft house and everything runs off of it except for one of the AC compressors. I'll need to alternate between my AC compressors. This thing is AWESOME!
I purchased this a little over a month ago. I was concerned when it showed up in a damaged box with oil all over the bottom of it. However, after opening the box I was relived that the unit itself was undamaged and I have no clue where the oil came from. Easy, minor assembly and the unit started and ran perfectly. I have only put approximately 25 hours on the unit, but so far it has been excellent.
Added oil and started manually and remotely. Great feature. Should not have any issues. Much nicer than other brand I had. Very happy with the product.
I just bought this over the Christmas break to prepare for rolling blackouts over the summer and during windy seasons. I wanted a generator big enough to lift the whole house, primarily my central AC. I haven't had a chance to load test it yet, however shipping was in perfect condition. Unboxed it with all parts included. Mounted the wheels (Took 5 mins). Battery was already hooked up to the terminals so all I had to do was connect the pigtails (10 secs). Added the oil (supplied) and gas and fired her up. She started right away with the push start button. Ran her for 15 minutes without load and she sounded great. Programmed the remote (another nice feature) and started her up with it without any issues. I'm having an electrician come out to install a transfer switch to my panel so time will tell how she performs when she'd needed. But I have no doubt she will.
Well built with lots of extra features that most generators don't have. Easy to put together. The easy disconnect battery feature is nice as well. If you are thinking about getting one of these I would recommend it!
