 First Generator September 10, 2007

I purchased this generator too use with our travel trailer to recharge the batteries and run the airconditioner. It works well and starts very easy. Only negative is that it has a higher noise level than some of the more costly units.
 EXCELLENT FOR THE PRICE September 10, 2007

This is a fairly high quality unit. It's pretty compact so it won't be a pain to store and it fired right up after assembly, filling with oil and pouring some gas in it. Tried it with a 6A load and it never changed RPM.
The engine is an OHV of a very popular Japanese design that should be reliable and durable. The aluminum block casting clearly has the Briggs icon cast into it which means it's a Briggs engine rather than some just some random east-asian knockoff. Lastly, I was surprised to see the words "Assembled in USA" on the generator. Hang in there Briggs & Stratton!
An excellent emergency generator June 12, 2007

This is a basic no frill generator. Just what I needed to run my sump pump and fridge/freezer. Assembly took about 20 min. Put on the wheels, handle and front foot. Added gas and oil, and it started in one pull. This unit puts out 29 amps at 120 volts. More than enough to power what I need in an emergency. It is a little loud, but at $460 who can complain? I switched to synthetic oil after break in to help starting in cold weather as recomended in the manual. This is a very nice, well made, simple to use generator.
