Great combination of features

We live in an all electric house now so I bought a generator as back up for power outages. This unit is a great combination of features. It has 5300 and running watts and electric start. It was furnished with the battery and with oil which many other generators are not. It has the power to run enough things to get through a power outage. The only negative is that it’s a little bit louder than I would’ve liked but it’s still not too bad. I think it’s going to be a great generator.
I bought this today and very excited. It is what I have been looking for. I like that is duel because when Ida hit Louisiana last year gas was hard to fine. Could get plenty of propane. We will be ready when an emergency happens.
It starts right up every time and runs very quiet. Very easy to put the wheels on and easy to move with the handle. Very easy to store in the garage too. I wish I bought this sooner.
After the 2021 snowstorm, I decided to get better prepared for the future blackouts. I've installed a disconnect and an exterior 240V outlet that let me inject the power into the main panel after I disconnect the main breaker and isolate the whole house from city's utilities. A smooth run requires quasi-balanced loads on L1 and L2. The oil inlet could be better designed for easier access, but it is what it is.
I bought this and it is a good, sturdy generator. Luckily haven't had to use it yet, but glad I have it for the future. Easy to move once you get wheels on.
I purchased this back in November just before cold weather hit. Due to high winds we have been out of power at least 3 times and up to 2 days. This generator was wonderful! First, I only had to refuel once after 20 hours. It kept my fridge running, kitchen lights, 3 lamps, TV, and two separate electric heaters. It comes with a multi-plug so you don’t have to run wires everywhere and I can actually move it anywhere myself - it’s not super heavy and it has an easy grip handle/bar so you can roll it around on its back wheels without breaking your back. Only thing I could possible complain about is it’s a bit loud, but you get use to the sound.
I would recommend this to a friend!
