Ordered this recently to replaced old leaking generator (different brand & less power) that would've cost as much to repair as this one cost new! Easy minor assembly. This has push button start option which is GREAT! The design is better so looks like much of the periodic preventative maintenance will be much easier. And this has enough power to run most of the critical house needs if necessary - including lights, fridge, heat, sump pump, TV, etc (minus the air conditioning & stove if running the other items). Had an electrician install a 30 Amp transfer outlet outside so easy to hook up to all the house power along with a safety transfer switch on inside of electrical box. Electrician tested all the circuits, fuses & lines and everything worked great. Heavier than my last generator (approx135 lbs is approx 103 lbs), but the wide pull handle & slightly larger wheels make it just about the same effort to move around.
We purchased this product to replace an older, crank start model. So glad we did. It is compact, easy to move around the garage and is already set up to use with our existing built in connection. No more pulling on a cord to start. Awesome!
