Generator is Okay

Review Posted 09/21/2016
The generator work but doesn't exercise as little as I wanted. It runs every week on a day of my choice. I wanted it to test run once a month. This would save fuel and wear and tear on the unit since it is used only for back-up. The installation cost were a lot more than I expected and I installed it myself to reduce the cost.

Review Posted 06/14/2016
Found this on line and could not pass up the deal. Installed the generator the following week and the wife feels she is more secure and safer with back-up power, just in case. Happy wife happy life.
Tried to purchase a second unit and they were not listed any more......need one for the in-laws house....any way to get another?
