burns oil, shuts off every couple of hours
Would Not RecommendI was able to run two tanks of fuel through this machine before it would not restart. during these two tanks I had to go restart repeatedly because the CO detector shut it down even though it's in an open field with a light breeze. the reason it wouldn't restart is it was 3/4 of a quart down on oil.

Powers the Whole House
Would RecommendOur old generator failed during a storm related power outage. This one is slightly more powerful and it is capable of powering the entire house, minus the heat pump. We need to manage to a degree what appliances we are using, but if we pay attention we can have hot water for showers, cook, light the entire house and keep the food in the refer fresh and in the freezer frozen. I like that I can use propane or gasoline to run it, although it won’t run long off of a 20 pound propane tank before th...

Great product so far
Would RecommendVery little assembly just had to put the wheels and the front rubber bumpers on. Put the oil in, connected the propane, connected the battery and she fired right up. Working like a charm. Much quieter than the one it replaced.

Work Horse Generator
Would RecommendI live in the country in central Kansas and I own 2 of these well built machines. Just had a winter storm hit and this being the second year with these generators, the units performed flawlessly. Just do the pm's on units, e.g. oil changes and fuel treatments for storage, and these babies will not disappoint!!!! Great Product!!

Works well, no surprises
Would RecommendThis generator works very well and the operation of the features is easy to understand. The switchgear is very high quality and should last a long time. However, the engine runs at full RPMs all the time regardless of load, and is extremely loud, so I would say this generator is preferable for those without close neighbors. I would prefer to see a smart feature that would lower the RPMs (and would save fuel) when the generator is less loaded.
