awesome portable at a very reasonable price

Would Recommend

Used many times and it never fails to be a great investment. I bought it for camping and outdoor activities and it is well worth the money.

This generator fills my needs completely

Would Recommend

This generator has all of the features that I was shopping for and will eliminate the need to try and store gasoline. Storing gasoline, even with additives is nearly impossible today. My new generator starts with ease and the instructions were concise and easy to understand.

Great generator

Would Recommend

I bought this generator a few years ago and love it. With it being LP you don't have to worry about the gas going bad. The sound level is quiet enough to have a conversation next to it without yelling.

This generator is built very well

The unit is easy to start and very low noise for a unit like this. It seems to handle load smoothly and no change in voltage to source.

Great Product

Would Recommend

Great Product start on the first pull very eazy to handle and assembly. Runs all my DJ equipment for outsides tailgating events. No matter what team you are cheering for you can always depend on the Generac to start. It rans for more then 8 hours without putting fuel in it. I would reccommend this product to any one who as an outsides event that needs power. Nothing runs like a Generac. The best thing it not nosiy at as others I have heard.

Just unpacked and started right up

Would Recommend

Brought home from the store today. Easy assembly. Started after a few tries and we ran it for a while too test. Good product for the money. Electric start would have been a plus. But bought as a backup for home, probably will run it once a month to excursive it.

Reliable . Easy to maintain.

Would Recommend

Starts everytime. All outlets give excellent power generation. Seems very efficient on gas. Cons: 1. Does not have a voltage regulator for connection to furnace. 2. Fuel gauge is very hard to see at any level. 3. Is not powerful enough for interface to Main power line with special interfaces. Requires 4000watts min.

Very pleased with the power!

Would Recommend

I purchased this as a "when I need it" kinda thing. I use it on our camper when we are dry camping, as well as when we are at the cabin and need to service the quads and equipment. I have put roughly 15 hours on this unit and plan using it a lot more. Very pleased with the product that I purchased!

Overall satisfied with my purchase

I purchased the generator because I was without power on a hot sunny and windy day. It took a little while to assemble and get the generator started, but it ran fine and handled what I needed it to.

Great generator.

Would Recommend

So far this generator has started up every time on the first pull. The process for starting is also more simple than other generator I have used. Additionally, the gas gauge is easy to read and I love how it gives you an estimated amount of run time left based on the remaining fuel. My only criticism would be that the oil that came with it was not labeled, so there is no way of telling what type of oil I put in.

Reliable power plant

Would Recommend

Had been looking at purchasing a generator for some time now. Well "Mr Murphy" decided to knock out the power to my house for a few hours and I decided to pull the trigger. I couldn't be happier. Straight from the box, add oil, gas, and pulled the crank 3 times. The rest is history. Had plenty of power for what I needed it for. I already have plans for other projects.
