Best Uses
Comment:
We used this product during bad weather power outtages; most recent was Hurricane Sandy. The unit ran for 26 hours with only two stops (refuel). Sure it is a bit noisy but we had every appliance in the house going with the exception of the central heating/air conditioning unit. Very happy with generator performance and reliability.

Comment:
Since TROY-Built sold out, products don't seem to have the same engineering. While this generator supplies much needed emergency electricity and starts easily, it is much, much, too, too LOUD ! Again engineering stumble.<br />If it is built this loud, why does it not have an idle switch to use during the exercise periods.? Consumer Reports recommends ear protection while in close proximity, that is ridiculous. This is a HOME generator. I would only recommend this to a friend with reservations about the NOISE. And I am hard of hearing
