  • Very powerful and relieable for the cost with free shipping.
Style: PM3800, 49 ST
This Generator should easily cost $700.00 considering it was shipped to me for free. It weighs over 100 pounds.

  • Good generator, slightly more quiet than expected
Style: PM7500, 49 ST
Took forever to get here but after 4-5 power outages, i like it alot. Starts easy, rolls easy on concrete but may be a challenge for older folks. Powers most of my house but did have to shut off and restart it a couple times as my new Heating system wouldnt power on all the way. Phase issue?

  • A life saver during Hurricane Ian
Style: PM2000, 49 ST
Bought this unit a year ago in anticipation of storm related power outages. Although we were at the edge of Hurricane Ian, we lost power during the height of the storm. When wind and rain died down, I slid generator outside and hooked up power cord to inside freezer, refrigerator, some lights, coffee maker and cell phone chargers. Started on second pull. Ran continuously for almost 60 hours. Gas was not easy to find, so at one point it ran continuously for more than 14 hours (as advertised). Many neighbors had bigger units (>5000 watts). More power than they needed and theirs ran for only 8 hours on twice as much gas. We are very, very happy with this unit. Paid for itself simply by protecting frozen and refrigerated goods (and making sure I had my morning coffee!). Also, when my gas powered chain saw ran low on bar oil while cutting downed trees, this unit worked fine for my small electric chain saw (14" beaver tail). I hope we do not have another Ian, but I am happy to have this unit taking up very little space in our garage and knowing it will start if and when I need it! ... show more

  • The worse customer service I have ever experienced
Style: PM2000, 49 ST
I bought this generator because of the reviews and because I live off-grid. I am 66 years old and needed an easy-start generator and loved this one until it stopped functioning correctly. It no longer is easy to start and I have not been able to start it at all for several months. I reached out to the manufacturer and the seller more than 3 times and have yet to hear a peep. I do not know what to do at this point but as a long-term Amazon customer I am completely saddened and it has changed my opinion a lot. This was a big purchase for me and one I cannot easily replace and with me living off the grid it is a necessity. It has been difficult without a generator and it will take me a while before I can afford another ... show more

  • Great Buy!
Style: PM7500, 49 ST
After searching for a generator for some time I came across this one and purchased it. Luckily for me it happened to be on sale, big plus since they can get pricey. The generator arrived late and was damaged. Upon contacting the company, they responded immediately and resolved the issue. I must admit, they offer great customer service. The generator is big and with it being on wheels and having a big handle, moving it around is easy. That’s a double plus for me. ... show more

  • Wish it had a 30A 220VAC plug
Style: PM4500, 50 ST
First one came damaged, sent it back but took 3 weeks to get replacement. Overall, it's a great generator for camping and emergency use, as long as you only wish to have necessities and not luxuries. It'll run a portable AC unit or space heater and a few outlets but that's about it. When using the space heater and outlets(50% load) for about 8 hours, it consumed about 2.5 gallons while using premium octane fuel. Just wish it had a 30A 220VAC plug for fewer cords to have on hand. ... show more
