I purchased this generator a little over one month ago and have used it once. We lost power for 8 hours one day and the generator worked great supplying power to the refrigerator and a few other appliances and lights.
My wife and I bought this generator as our Christmas present to each other. Like insurance, its something you hope you don't need, but you sleep better at night having it. It took me awhile to find the wiring link to get the starter battery connected - the directions were not clear here. It started well and my initial impressions are favorable. Time will tell!
Great generator, especially price and value. We have had to use it through one hurricane already and are feeling good about having to do it again. Easy to use and strong.
