Better than I expected

OCT

2006
I ran this unit for 63 hour stopping only twice for oil changes and I am sooooo happy with this product. It ran 10 to 12 hours on a 5 gallon tank of gas! I ran 2 sump pumps, a refrigerator, a freezer two lights a TV and a VCR on this unit and I ran it through the night with confidence that everything would be OK. This is a quality unit at a reasonable price and I recommend it 100%.

What a workhorse

JAN

2007
I bought this generator after losing power due to an ice storm. We ran this generator for over 7 days straight except for fueling and changing the oil. I heard many other stories about other brands of generators locking up after just a few hours of use. This one had no problems at all. I would highly recommend this generator if you are looking for something with value.

Can't fix oil leak

MAR

2009
I bought this unit in Sept 08 and have yet to pull the start cord. It has leaked oil since I bought it, and it's on the third trip back to the repair shop. It takes two to three weeks turnaround to have them try and fix it. Each time I get it back, I let it sit in the garage for about 7 days, and there is a pool of oil on the floor. I just hope they can fix the unit before the warranty runs out. Would certianly like to see if it runs.

Solid Powerful and Mobile Generator

MAR

2009
I bought this generator to run my 2HP Craftsman air compressor at a garage I was renting without power. It did this with ease and I barely used two tanks of gas the whole summer. I had no trouble hauling it around in the back of my truck. Did the first oil change at 5 hours on the dot with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5W20. It would be nice if they could make an easier no spill/mess oil drain. I was able to prevent a mess by putting it up on bricks and placing a huge plastic container underneath. The first thing I did after purchasing the generator was install an hour meter. I believe the higher end... review »

Works like a champ!

DEC

2008
I bought this generator in September of 2008 along with a manual transfer switch kit. After installing everything and testing it in the fall, the generator was put away in my basement until this past Friday. New England was clobbered this past Friday with a fast moving ice storm. The entire region is without power as there are trees and utility lines down everywhere. The generator came out of storage at 4:30 AM on Friday morning, was filled with fresh gas, and started right up on the first pull. It has now been running nearly continuously for the past four days, stopping only for refueling and... review »

Outstanding Purchase

DEC

2008
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... review »

Bah, what hurricane?!

NOV

2008
This generator made civilized life possible. It worked great out of the box and got us through Hurricane Ike in September 08. It is noisy, but they all are. This thing powered: the side by side fridge, 2 computers (modems and routers too), 2 TV sets, a room lamp or two, two window fans, and other smaller items (cell phone chargers) all at the same time. It never even grunted at the strain! At night, it powered a room a/c unit and the side by side fridge, and a small lamp. The most it showed on the display was 20% of capacity. It did well on gasoline and oil changes were easy. Truly, one pull got... review »

Reliable

NOV

2008
Purchased new following Hurricane Rita, stored two years until Hurricane Ike swept through our area this summer. First use, worked great, moderate loading of about 2300 watts, surge to 3000. Got about 12 hours to a tank of gas, no oil consumption to speak of. Easy for anyone to start (use full choke). The included Adapter Cord Set was real handy. I had to laugh though that the maintenance reminder cames on to check the oil every 8 hours, that seems rather conservative, unless there is a puddle of oil under the unit! Ran solid about 36 hours until we ran out of gas. Don't plan on siphoning gas from... review »

Excellent

After reading the reviews in search of a generator I decided on this one. And a good thing I did because I live in Houston and we just got nailed by Ike. I have been running this unit for 6 days now. It gets between 10 and 13 hours on a tank. I am running the Refrigerator, 7 ceiling fans, 2 oscillating fans, 1 stand up fan, any light I want on, the big screen TV, a playstation, the computor and a small window A/C with maybe 40% output. It will run the toaster oven or Microwave then goes up to 70%. It also ran my dishwasher, and washing machine but couldn't run the dryer even though it is gas. But... review »

Dad & I got two during Buffalo's "October Storm!"

NOV

2008
My father and I each got one of these models for about $800 each after tax during Buffalo's October Storm last year. They work great! I love the heavy-duty cable that is supplied, and how it starts right up. We powered half my house with this generator (went right into the circuit breaker) and my neighbor's refrigerator too --- all without even pulling a quarter load! Pretty darned impressive. Haven't had a need to use it again, but it still starts right up and runs like a top. If it's anything like my 7 year old Craftsman mower, it will continue to run like a top, too. Great job, Craftsman engineers...... review »

Generator for Dad

OCT

2008
This was my first time to buy a generator and I had no idea which model I should buy. I read all the reviews and chose 5600 watt, 10 hp. unit. We took it to central Louisiana because thay had been without power for most of the week and would be in the dark for at least another a week. Thanks to hurricane Gustav. We found all the reviews to be accurate. Out of the box, less then 10 minutes to put together and start! I was really happy with the service at sears too! We bought it online and picked it up at our local store, very easy!

Briggs & Stratton Generator

DEC

2008
We had to get a generator in an emergency when we had a power outage during a storm. This was the only available generator within a 25 mile radius avaialble. I am so glad we purchased it. It ran 5 heaters and 4 lights. We are goingt to have the generator wired in to the furnance soon - so incase this happens again we will not be without heat/power. I think this generator is a must have! If you do buy one just make sure you have at least 2 gas cans full of gas.
