What Customers Are Saying
The generator provides ample power to run essential home appliances and electronics during power outages. It is easy to start, durable, and fuel-efficient, with a portable design that makes it easy to position as needed. However, some users found it to be quite loud, and the fuel gauge may discolor over time.

Nice Generator
Would RecommendSo far so good, bought for NC hurricane season. Amazed with the ease of starting. Out of the box, added oil and maybe 12 oz. of gas ( thats all I had at the time) pulled the rope with two fingers and it fired right up.

All around great generator
Would RecommendWell built generator that should last many years with proper care & maintenance. Starts easily and has been able to provide steady power to run a freezer, refrigerator, lights and a bunch of other small items. It's quite large, heavy and loud but that comes with the kind of output its capable of.

Great Generator
This generator is a great buy with good power. I used it after Hurricane Matthew in Florida for 4 days straight with only short breaks for adding gas. It ran my fridge, portable a/c, well pump, lights and fans. It never missed a beat. My last off-brand generator died after a week of heavy use during Hurricane Frances. A good generator is a must in coastal Florida and you want it to run when you need it. Great Quality and value. Easy to start and would highly recommend.

awsome and efficient
Would RecommendI bought this generator for my framing crew. It has plenty of power to run all the saws and compressor. Also we get 2.5 days of all day running out of 5 gallons. That way better then any other generator ive owned.
