Prefect size Generator for my 2400 sq ft. home. Runs the well pump, all lights, computers, TV's, 2 Refrigerators and more. I like the smaller engine because it is easy on gas, an important consideration for extended power outages. This unit took 1.5 qts 10-30w motor oil. I drained the oil after 8 hrs to get the metal shavings out of the new engine, then replaced the oil with synthetic 10-30w Mobil 1. This reduced the noise level and vibration considerably. Very well built for the price. Super Happy!
i bought this to replace a smaller unit. it ran a table saw, 2 freezers, and a large floor fan with no problems. we will put it to the real test when the storms come. i dont see any problems with it keeping up.
Just got it during Florida Hurricane Prep week. Just finished running it for an hour break in. I connected the generator via a 50 amp transfer switch. It took some work but started 11 hrs old 3.5 ton trane AC. However it could not start the tankless water heater rated at 54 amp with no additional load on the panel.
