Be Wary

Posted by: William
from Reno, Nevada
I purchased this XP16000ih because oit was 16kw rated and cold handle most house loads(items on) with room to spare I did not want to chase watts. After paying for it and unboxing while witng for the elcetrician to wire the transfwer switch - I stunmbled onto something no one explpained evben in allmy converstios on email. These genrators are altitude sensitive. Rated at sea-level to 3K feet. and a reduction of 3 to 5 percent for each additional thousand feet - I live at 5K feet in Reno, Nevada. This puts my loads at 75% at roughly 8.2Kw - barley enough - actually not enough to give me any choices at running other than the necessary infrastructure of the house. I am really upset - this is very expenive with a bunch of perpheral expenses and enourmois planning time. Oh , and in additrion you need to modify the generator by installing a different - high altitude - Jet . the Jet is unavailable across the United States and is backordered for 90 days wiith no estimated date of avaiablilty... Really upsetting... I haven't even started using it and instead of the tool I had hoped for this has cloudeded an exciting addition to the house and turned the experience dark. My wife says - well, it's better to have a generator than not - at least the well pump, and the fridge, lights and other essentials will operate...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent whole house Generator

Been using this model through one hurricane and a few outages. I have mine hooked up to LP gas and it starts right up every time. The 16,000 watt inverter model ( pure sine wave ) allows us to run certain appliances and sensitive electronics without damage from a modified sine wave. It has TWO 50amp outputs. We run 4 deep freezers, 2 refrigerator/ freezers, full house power, full shop power without having to be conservative. The Deep well, & 4-ton A/C surge voltage is nothing to this beast. I have been 100% satisfied so far.

Bought this to power my house after a hurricane or normal summer outages. So far, no need for both, but when I do the monthly run and power to the house, all works flawlessly! I run straight propane. I would buy again!

Our 16000 handles every bit of our 28' Concession Trailer. We also use it to power our emergency panel at our brick and mortar.

Has been a great generator. I have not had to use it yet during a power outage, but when I do the monthly run under power, it has no problem powering the entire house: Variable-speed AC system, variable-speed pool pump, every outlet in the house, including the refrigerator
