Nice generator for small home emergency backup

I purchased this generator to use for emergency backup of essential circuits in my home. I have a small 1,500SF home and this 5300 watt unit is the perfect size to run my refrigerator, boiler, computer equipment and verizon router, some kitchen appliances and a few lights. I chose it for watt capacity and weight/size. It has a smaller engine than other models and weighs a little over 100 Lbs which is no problem to transport from the garage to a spot in the yard. To have an easy to use backup system, I also installed a Reliance transfer switch (also purchased on Amazon). The unit was well packed and arrived in perfect condition. After installing the wheels and feet, reading the operating manual and putting in some gas and oil, it started right up with the electric start. I've done a pull-the-plug test in my home and everything worked perfectly. I'm ready for another power outage if it comes along. The one negative comment I have is very minor; the graphic on start switch is is mis-labeled - easy enough to deal with. I would definitely recommend this product for someone with a small home and only a few home appliances to run in an emergency.
Purchased for an older person so the wheels and push button make this perfect. Very easy to set up. Started quickly. Bring it on New England winter storms!
