Good Portable For Power Outage
By Michael V
California
Purchased 11/21/2024 |
Review Posted 01/18/2025
Have only used it a few times, but it's a nice combo of being light enough and having enough power to handle the refrigerator and other basics in a power outage. Definitely recommend. PED was great on delivering to CA w/ a good shipper. Got it after a friend had used it for an emergency generator after HI fires and said it did everything for the crew w/o a hitch. Good reco. Also, got a CA PGE rebate for it so that really helped too!

Review Posted 10/27/2024
Two weeks after getting the unit I had my first power outage in my neighborhood and I was the only one with power, people were wondering how was it that I had lights so I showed them my Generac Generator, and to say the least I had to sit outside my door with to guard the generator from being stolen, it is my best Investment yet.
