It's very nice to have this peace of mind here in the garage. The electric start is a must since I don't want my wife to have to deal with a pull start when the power goes out. I work in Emergency Services, so when there is a disaster, I'm not home, so I need a unit that she can just get running quick and easy, when she needs it, and this generator does that very well. It's large enough to handle most of the house except the air conditioning, but it will run a couple window units along with the fridge, microwave, computers, WiFi and lights, which is more than enough. In these uncertain times, it nice to have something so reliable.
I bought this generator a few weeks ago. It was easy to set up and started easily. We haven't had any power outages so far so I can't attest to how it powers our lights, but so far so good. I would recommend this generator based on my current experience.
Overall well packaged and easy instructions. Only issue was that mounting foot receiving nut was misaligned to receive flange bolt on one of the feet. Using a smaller gauge bolt I was able to overcome problem.
Finally got this delivered, it's hurricane season so I wasn't expecting it too fast. I have a manual generator that I've needed to use a lot these past few months. I'm excited for auto start, no more yanking a pull cord, especially in the dead of winter when we usually have power go out. Very happy with purchase
