 Does the job. Jan 03, 2006
By J. Klausman
"reviewer"
After a 28 hour winter power outage, I decided to get a generator to keep our housing essentials alive... like heat, refrigerator, microwave, etc. I bought this generator because it had a good price and ratings that would handle my needs, plus extra starting power for motors. The listing said it could take 10 days to arrive, but it only took three days. I did some wiring to allow me to connect the generator to our electric dryer outlet. Then I took it outside on a cool day, poured in a little bit of gas, turned off the main house breaker, and plugged it in. It started on the first pull, and then we turned on the furnace and then let everything else in the house just work naturally until it ran out of gas about an hour later. This generator powered it all with no problems. Some people were without power here for 7 days. I highly recommend this unit.

Briggs & Stratton Power Products 5,550-Watt Portable Dec 06, 2006
By Acurageek
My brother-in-law went 10 days without electic after a freak ice storm 2 years ago. That same year I bought this same generator at Sears. Runs great a little load but starts on the first pull. I would suggest buying a transfer switch. I have mine wired to power our fridge, freezer, sump pump, basement lights and electric, pluse our furnace. The generator took everything I threw at it and more. I even ran the sweeper and it hardly hiccuped! I also suggest using synthetic oil, runs smoother, quiter and protects the engine during winter use.

Great! Apr 14, 2006
By Matthew Cartier
"Matt C"
This came within 4 days of purchase and ready to go after approx 10 mins of installing the handle,wheels and the rubber vibration feet. Started after about half a pull and runs perfect. I bought it mainly for use in my travel trailer when we go camping and it fits throught the door with wheels on, perfectly with room to spare. For a generator that puts out this much power under a load of a circular saw and powering my travel trailer, with the A/C on it is surprisingly quiter than I would have thought. Actually much quiter than alot of other generators I've heard. Buy it and you'll be happy.

 Good, simple to use generator - Sustained shipping damage! May 03, 2006
By B. East
The generator did sustain some shipping damage (cracked cover for bearing carrier). We bought this through Amazon directly and was shipped by ABF. The unit took a little longer to get here as it was routed to Detroit instead of Florida where we live. The broken cover did not affect operation. Amazon has said it will order and ship a new part. They do not accept returns of generators (or other gas powered products) even when they have not been used, so be sure you want it before you buy it.
After installing the wheel kit and handle (in less than 15 minutes), I filled the oil and gas and started the unit with 1 easy pull. The generator is loud, but no more than others this size. It has a large, easy to fill gas tank on top with an easy to read gas gauge. The oil fill opening is rather small and close to the ground, but a small funnel helped prevent spills.
The only other negatives is that it does not have a throttle control (only one setting "run") and no oil dip stick. You just have to fill the oil fill spout up to the top till almost overflowing.
We bought this for potential power outages after hurricanes. Hopefully, we will not need to use it too much!

Great buy for the money!! Apr 02, 2007
By Ronnie Rasti
This generaotor is a great buy for the money and free shipping too. For the occasional use by the home owner during power outage to run the bare minimum appliances and lighting, it is perfect. I was worried about the loudness of the muffler based on other reviews, but I did not find it too loud. I have so far only test started it and ran it with some load and it did fine. Wish it came with a twist-on special plug for the 220 V outlet.
Couple of tips I'd like to pass on: 1) buy the same size steel rim pneumatic tires from Harborfrieght ($5.00 each) and get rid of the plastic ones....they will crack in time with vibration. 2) cut the fuel line and install an in-line fuel filter using plastic tie-wraps to attach the filter (I use a filter with ceramic type element that has clear housing which you can see the fuel coming through - I buy them from my ATV dealer and I put them on every gas powered equipment I buy). This will keep trash out of the carburator in the long haul.
