I had to borrow my neighbor's generator and use a 100' cord. Not good results so NOW I have our OWN generator for the countless storms that seem to be the new normal.
This unit works well and more than handles basic household essentials (and more) during a power outage. Great piece of mind for my family. Highly recommend!
Have fired this up and run it through its break in period. Started easily and runs reasonably quiet. Only minor issue I had is that my battery tender wouldn't make connection through the battery disconnect so I had to hard wire a battery tender lead onto the battery.
The generator works well. It powered all our lights, refrigerator, heating system and water pump simultaneously. We are now prepared for future power outages!
