Just got this generator after weeks of research. It was consistently one of the top rated in performance and reliability. It started right up first push of the electric start and ran quiet and steady for an hour with no issues. Can't wait for the power to go out to use it for real.
My generator was a joy to get running. It started on the first try. I tested starting it in all of its modes (pull, electric, remote) and it started perfectly each time. I ran it for a good hour and it ran just fine. I'm almost praying for a storm or other outage so I can give it a good test.
I purchased this generator to replace a 30 year old Generac 5000. I choose this model for the power, price and options. Once delivered, it only took about 20 minutes to unbox and setup. This model has electric start with remote start/shutdown key fob. All items were included to setup and run immediately (wheel kit, battery, oil, battery charger, etc.) I installed the wheels, front feet, oil, connected the battery (which already had a charge on it) added fuel, turn on the gas and the run switch, held the start button for 3 seconds and 3 seconds later it was running! I have a 20 AMP transfer switch installed on my home. This generator has a 120/240 30A socket. I simply had to purchase a 30A-20A adapter for $19.95 and all was good. This is a very rugged and solidly built generator! Very happy with my purchase decision !
This generator was easy to set up. Directions were very clear. Started right up, with no problem, the first time we used. I would highly recommend this generator.
Purchased the generator for power outages we get up in Maine during the winter. Setup was a breeze. Took about 10 minutes to set up and get running. Even came with oil. Love the ease of the remote start. Has enough power to easily power up my furnace, refrigerator, freezer, well pump, septic living room lights, television, and misc. lights throughout the house.
