I recently bought this model in anticipation of power outages due to severe weather. Living in SW Florida I was without power for 11 days due to hurricane Irma in 2017. After reading the many positive reviews I determined that this model would power my 3 ton AC, refrigerator, TV and some small appliances. The day that it arrived I unboxed it and followed the start up instructions. Started up immediately, let it run a bit, plugged in some electrical tools to test. Works great! To be honest I hope I never need to use it but I have it now for peace of mind.
I am in the process of installing a transfer switch in preparation for hurricane season. My generator will be ready in case of need, but I’m praying it will only be ran occasionally to keep it working order, but just in case!
