I bought this a month ago, so far haven't had the need to use it. However, after doing a lot of comparisons this particular unit I felt had the best power, for the price. In addition to this it had the automatic battery charger, was easy to set up, has a 40 and a 50amp outlet. Customer Service is great! I called with a question and with a very tolerable waiting period spoke to an agent who answered quickly and professionally in layman's terms.
bought this to upgrade from a 5500 during Hurricane Laura. This gen ran a 10,000, (2) 5000, and portable A/C. Also had on refrigerator, deep freeze and well pump plus lights. No issues using all that.
Was delivered a week ago, just put it together today. Went together really easy, started right up. Our electrician will be here next week to do the wiring. After living through category 5 Michael I will never go through another one with out a power generator. I’m hoping this unit will run most of our house. The electric start will be great for my 82 year old mother in case I’m not home and we loose power.
Bought this a month ago when we had a local severe storm, Our electric stayed on but our daughters was off for four days. After 10 hours off we had to scramble the entire family to find enough space for her freezer and fridge contents. Because of corona virus everyone was well stocked with their own goods to avoid frequent trips to grocery store. It took six households refrigeration space to accommodate her needs and we still lost some of the cheaper condiments etc. Done right, this unit will run my entire house and the fact that it is portable will allow me to lend it out if above described circumstances happen again.
I bought the generator about 3 weeks ago to replace a 6000 Watt generator. Having the extra power will enable me to use some of my 240 Volt appliances during prolonged outages. The ability to remote start and connect the smart switch at a future date are a plus.
