Was hesitant because of the price however I'm glad we made the purchase. It's quiet so much so we get asked if it's really on, powers a/c unit and refrigerator without problems
I haven't had this generator very long but it has worked great so far. It was slightly difficult to add the oil as a hose was blocking the fill hole. I run it from a 500 gallon propane tank. It started easily and ran everything I needed it to run.
Well, the generator came in today and I was incredibly impressed with the packaging. It was banded to a pallet, incredibly well padded inside, with plywood on top and bottom of the box. Unpackaged it, added oil, added gas, glanced at the quick start guide tossed it to the side because I'm a man, selected gasoline turned it on and press the start button. I expected it to crank for a while since I just added the gas but it started within one second. It just started right up. It has been running for about a half an hour. I wanted to burn the new off of it before I added any load and started my break in. I went with the 11,000 W model because I want to be able to run my well pump and my water heater at the same time. I also want it clean power so I would quit frying my electronics every time the power went out. I live out in the middle of nowhere and we lose power about 10 times a year. It's little things like this that make me smile.
