Pretty good but get the better one2008-08-04
I bought this for my parents who had three outages in two years. It was installed professionally and has already powered them through another outage. It also powered everything in their house except the air conditioning condensers and the electric stove/oven. That is the good news.

The not so good news is that this unit cannot be installed with an automatic transfer switch. That is a switch that automatically senses a power outage, turns itself on and then switches over to backup power. This unit uses a manual switch which requires someone to go to the unit, turn it on, and then go to the transfer switch and flip a switch. Not horrible but not the best if you can buy the better unit and automatic switch.

My parents are very pleased that they had the unit and someone came over to switch it on for them.
Two thumbs up.2007-05-14
I bought this generator to run my irrigation system in the back of my farm, so I would not have to run 500 yards of power cable or gas line. The choice of portable bottles or perminate is great. I us my tractor to shuttle the portable tanks back and forth. The generator starts easy and runs great. My irrigation system does not even raise my generator past an idle.
