Live in the woods - - - need a unit to power my cabin when the power is out. This unit came out of the box and was running in a short time. This unit is quieter than my friends' Generac. In fact, after helping me set this up and getting it running, he bought the same model.
This was bought to mainly replace to an older 6500 watt generator for backup power. Living in the northeast we can lose power, especially in the winter/spring and need to make sure heat and sump pumps stay running. Its light enough for 2 to throw in my truck to take it with me. Just got it so I can't rate it excellent til it gets used more. Worked very well on a test though. Quieter that my current one.
