This is the perfect size generator to handle essential needs during power outages. It packs 5250 continuous watts of power driven by a 10 HP Tecumseh engine with cast-iron cylinder sleeve. It also has low-oil protection which will shut the unit down if the amount of oil is too low for safe operation. The 7-gallon gas tank provides over 10 hours of run time at 1/2 load and 7 hours at full load. It's outlets are 120-volt duplex and 120/240-volt twistlock. This rugged unit has 9-inch wheels and an all-weather carburetor cover for smooth running in hot or cold climates.
Bought this generator over a year ago at Home Depot for under 400.00 at a clearance price.PROS:Has low oil shutoff/Rigid tires/2 110 volt plugs/1 220 plugs./low fuel consumption.Have ran this generator continuosly with 2 jobsite air compressors and 4 roofing coil nailers with no problems.Aiso had 3way hooked up charging 1 Milwaukee 3 bay battery charger and 1 V28 battery charger.CONS:Minor-Fuel shutoff is inline wing type/No oil level indicator glass/Could use 2 more 110 outlets.FINAL THOUGHTS:Have been well pleased with this generator as it has withstood all tests I have thrown at it.
I own one of these bought from Home Depot. Price was EXCELLENT. May not be a Honda, etc.. But for 400 it is an excellent back up generator. It is made in the US. Starts EVERY time, runs nearly the whole house including the furnace.(No AC) (Will run Window AC). I keep the gas treated, run int once a month or so (As you should ANY gas engine, unless winterized) It is a purchase worth the money.
