Right out of the box...powered two refrigerator/freezers, an industrial fan, and inverter for our electronics, a microwave, and a coffee maker. Instructions were very detailed, and especially appreciate the info on grounding, as we never considered this with out previous smaller generator. We have an electrician scheduled to come and wire a transfer switch, as this beauty will be able to meet our minimal to moderate household needs during outages. We are a 3,000 sqft house, 2 adults and 3 kids; living in NE Florida. ***Note: Industrial fan does not = central AC unit...this is not a whole house generator,even though it is transfer switch ready. The above "seemed" to be pushing its limits, but it NEVER tripped, stopped or stalled.***
Reading other reviews and how consistent the good reviews were I decided to purchase. Maybe it is to early to write a good review, but so far so good. Maybe they need to contact me after 5 years to see if I still feel the same way. I really wanted that free cover , I have plenty of power strips. That was the only negative thing. Westing house has to change their supplier for the covers!!!!
