No good for power tools

Would Recommend

Very nice but if you want a generator to run power tools do not by this one. It will not even run a skill saw or a chop saw. The 14 amp breaker is to weak for these kind of power tools

Smallest and lightest i've found with 240 volt plug

Would Recommend

Works great. Starts Easily. I like that I can use it to run my 240 volt well pump. Other brands would have forced me to buy a larger unit to have this option.

Purchased when hit by tornado, power out for 19 hours, the unit was lightweight and easy to start, very economical didnt use tons of gasoline. We liked the looks of the unit, and we were able to share the power with a neighbour and kept both our and there freezer and fridge working efficiently.

Perfect for my needs

Would Recommend

The price point was reasonable and the GP3250 is perfect for my needs, including emergency power at my home and cottage and portable power for construction projects. It was easy to assemble out of the box. I added oil and gas, gave it a couple of pulls and it started right u.

perfect choice for my needs.

Would Recommend

I was looking for a model that was easy to move, performed as quietly as possible and was easy to operate. I have all that and more with this unit.

Great Value

Would Recommend

Great value and great reliability. The only option it doesn't have is the auto-throttle for on-demand power, and those units were out of my budget range. It's not too loud and supports all the tools that I need to use in the field.

EXCELLENT POWER SOURCE

Would Recommend

Lost power a few days ago, suppose to be without power for 3 days, turned out to be 26 hours. Went to the hardware store and bought the GP3300 model, wanted to run the freezer and fridge( also the pellet stove in the winter if need be). The unit is outstanding, so EASY to start and everything worked well! Could not have purchased a better unit. I would recommend this unit to everyone!
