We bought this a week ago and are very happy with the investment. First the value vs RW of the machine is hard to compare to anything else on the market. The aesthetics even are very nice. Seems very well built and I hope it lasts for many years to come. Went ahead and purchased a 50 amp inlet, 25ft cable, and interlock kit for my panel. Will be very storm ready the next time neeeded. All this and really hoping we never have to use it but ready to be prepared and not be left in the dark (or cold).
Gen was super easy to setup with clear directions. As others have stated have abit more oil on hand as it will take the whole can provided and a bit more. Started on first electric start, tested pull cord, and remote start as well. Turns over with ease and seems very quality manufacturing. Looking forward to completing the project and truly running a load test against the house.
I bought this generator because when I lose power I usually lose it for several days at a time. It set up very easily, not much to it. I ran it solo several times using the remote start. Excellent. I had my electrician install a transfer switch with ten breakers on it. Once everything was hooked up we did several trial runs. I was able to run my boiler (heat, hot water) 2 refrigerators, 2 microwaves, 1 freezer, 15000 BTU A/C, 3 TV's, and 95% of the lights in my house (Not including outlets as well). No problem at all. I didn't even bog down or strain under the load. The electrician was impressed with it. As I said this was a trial run but it performed very well.
I just got the generator - I haven't used it yet but it was easy to maneuver The only complaint i have is that the wheels are plastic - at this price they should be rubber
