Reliable machine that works great.
Works great. I let some family members borrow it after they lost power, and it was able to power their fridge, washing machine, a TV, 3 table fans, iPhone/iPad chargers with no problem. This machine is a beast and maintenance is easy.

Powershot 3645 Generator
I was very happy my generator came out of the box in perfect shape, put oil, and gas in, and she fired right up, I haven't had the opportunity to give it a full test , but it held up fine while running with my large air compressor. So for right now happy, happy, happy.

7500 watt generator set-up
I purchased a 7500 watt generator with electric start. After also purchasing the correct battery; (which could be more clearly defined on the exterior of the box) I brought it home and it sat in the garage for several weeks. When I finally got around to opening the box and setting up the machine I found all necessary parts in the box and the instructions fairly clear. I will say that you could just say add the FULL bottle of oil so I did not have to stop and check the level over and over. Once t...

My Simpson PowerShot Generator
I purchased this generator shortly after Hurricane Ian. I did not get the chance to utilize the generator before power was restored to my neighborhood. I have tested the operation and most of the power outlets. I will complete my test in the next few days. Too many other hurricane distractions get in my way.

Thanks for sharing your experience, George. We're glad you have so far enjoyed the performance of your portable generator & hope you recovered quickly...
Excellent choice for mobile power
My good friend and I purchased two of the 5568 models. The store had just received a truckload of generators. They were very expensive, but with our area of SW FL just missed being destroyed by Hurricane Ian and out of power for 4 days, we bought 2 and returned to our homes. Set up units in carport areas and ran extension cords for fridge, freezer, some lights, fans medical equipment, phone chargers, etc. They worked extremely well, but are very loud. Was not aware that these units are designed ...
