Craftsman Briggs & Stratton Generator, 5600 Watt 10 HP —
I bought this Generator in January of 2008 and got it all wired up to the house with the reliance transfer switch. After that I thought I would never get a chance to really use it. I exercise it for about 20 minutes every month to make sure it is stays running. Well, this past weekend we had an ice storm which I knew was coming so I changed the oil and go plenty of fuel to be ready. Power went out Friday early monring and did not come back on until Sunday later afternoon. We ran the generator from 5AM every morning until 8PM every night and it ran like a champ I only burned about 5 Gallons each day which impressed me. We powered our Well, Furnace, Refrig, Freezer, lights, computers, with plenty of power to spare. I changed the oil once on Saturday afternoon and then again Sunday evening when the power came back on. I just felt it had worked so hard it derserved it. Beware, if you have one of these generators, everyone will want to be at your house. We had many people over for showers, dinner, surfing the internet...we basically had everything we needed. I have been telling everyone I know what a great purchase this was. I have about $1,200 into the whole project and this past weekend made me a believer. Great product, great price!
