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.
Bought this to be prepared for any power failures. Can run all necessary appliances so we are ready for any power failures like what happened this past February with the storm that Texas wasn't ready for and still isn't. Love this generator.
