compared to more expensive generators,
October 19, 2009
By djJon
from Southern Vermont
"This generator has all the features that the more expensive generators have including electric start
The size is just right for powering up an average house yet it is portable
as far as the small size tires that are foam filled great idea, no flat tires.How ever a larger pair of tires can be mounted in place of the small ones for vary little expense.
I was impressed with the motor , it does have low oil shut down it also started one pull (out of the box)
One other feature i like is the auto throttle control is dose save gas when power is not needed

great generator,
October 19, 2009
By Darrell1
from Sanford, Maine
"I thought this generator was great, had my electrician put in transfer box next to the electricial box, with the ground outside to ground the generator during a power outage, the main reason I got this, no problem, did not even get a battery for this, the pull cord works quick and on the first pull, shut off the power to my trailor, turned on the generator, with no problem, like it I didn't even have a generator, its not loud at all, Quiet really, for the price of some other generators, its so much better then I could even imagine, great price, alot of power to boot, but also if I sell my trailor, and get a lot bigger one, I got the power to do anything that I want to use it on or for, the automatic powerer shuts down to only for the power it is asking for, great feature, and you save fuel at the same time, glad I bought this product, I did alot of research before I bought it, good product, good price, very happy. buy it, its worth it."

July 26, 2009
By coastalplainsbsion
from Ga.
"It works fine.It powers a fridge ,frezer,lights,small water heater,commercial
restraunt ventalation fan,water pump in a mobile kitchen plus tha aircondition also. The only thing i did not like was that the crossmember that is the motor
mount is too flimsy and needs to be beefed up .the welds on mine broke easily.
I bolted on a piece of channel iron to make it stronger. I bought the extra warranty but i choose to solve the problem myself.Why have the company replace or repair when i can do better.

"This is the best generator I have ever purchased. Checked a lot of places and found this to be the best watt/'dollar anywhere. The performance is great, the power is perfect for our emergency power needs at the house. We can run all our refrigherators, and salt water fish tanks with this generator and not worry when the power will come back on. The battery is easy to find and install."
