I caved in and purchased a generator after losing power several times over the winter. This generator has exceeded expectations and provides great reliability and features for the price.
I bought this generator to replace a 2400 watt I had and it really does the job! 7500w really handles my house when we lose power. It runs my fridge, furnace, phones, computer and enough lights to function during outages. I like the key fob start, or you can use the toggle on the side of the unit. It came packaged very well and very easy to assemble. You may need another individual to assist putting on the wheels and pads, the gen is quite heavy even without gas and oil. But I found it not too heavy to move around with the supplied handle after assembled. Please read the manual before running the gen! Especially where you have to add the supplied oil they give you prior to operating! This is important for your safety!
We recently had our first power outage since we got a dual fuel 3700/4200 generator. Turns out it wasn't big enough to run the well pump when the fridge started up. This 7500/9500 generator is about twice the power as that other one. My Wife was scrolling through a generator search and the remote start fob caught her eye. After doing some research I determined that it had what we needed plus the automatic choke control and remote start. This was a pricey investment but after being inconvenienced and disappointing we decided to up our game. This is just one step down from the big auto start units that run even if you are away from home. We don't need power while we sleep... Since then I have twice gone out to the garage and turned on the switch before a storm was predicted so we could start it from the comfort of the house. Give it a couple minutes to warm up, then switch the interlock and feed the house safely. And not even put on my boots!
