Kept the refrigerator running plus some lights using extension cords during the PG&E power shut downs. The only issue is that one of the 20 amp duplex outlets stopped working after just a few hours of operation so I need to get it fixed. Hope to eventually get it set up to hook up to the house through the 14-50 R outlet.
50 amp plug in is located in bad place,just above rear tire. Since most 50 amp plugs are shaped in L for strian relief for cord it makes pluging in difficult. Also the could have put a dedicated gas drain valve to drain gas for storage. Over all this gen is realy is good. Runs great. easyto use.
Just bought this for California's power shut off and it is exactly what I needed. I am on well water and that proves to be a major inconvenience with no power. This unit runs my well, lights, appliances, and even the dryer if I shut down other loads appropriately. Would definitely recommend. It even arrived 3 days before it was scheduled to!
