  • Awesome
Style: PM4500, 50 ST
I love how easy the generac engine starts. 1 pull fires it up. It doesnt weigh too much either. It can run a 10000btu ac and charge multiple devices all at once and last almost a whole day on just a few gallons of gas. Excellent generator. It is not campground rated though. So noise level is a little up there but still not terrible. It worth the money. ... show more

  • inexpensive and hard working

Bought this based on price point and am satisfied with performance. Fairly easy to assemble and started right up on first pull.

This is a nice small generator. I run 2 freezers during outages.

  • So far so good.
Style: PM4500, 50 ST
Came in beautiful condition. Directions were clear. Added oil, gas, started in one pull. I tested it with all the things I plan to plug into it should I need to use it in the event of a power outage this winter. I've read complaints about reliability in colder weather etc so I will find out if those or true or not at some point but at this point I have no reason to believe it won't perform well. Very well built. Not a fan of the cheap wheels but wheels aren't going to save my family in an emergency. ... show more

  • Best Investment
Style: PM3800, 49 ST
I’ve got to give it to this generator … it is amazing! I normally never leave reviews but felt inclined to share our experience. We live in Tampa and just went through back to back hurricanes. We’ve been without power almost 4 days now. Thankfully we’d loaded up on gas before the storm and this bad boy has been running nonstop, 3 days straight. We’ve been able to power up our fridge, portable A/C unit, TV, coffee maker. It’s like we never skipped a beat. We purchased the 3800 watt. Pretty affordable and definitely worth the investment. 10/10 would recommend! ... show more

  • Disappointing Performance
Style: PM4500, 50 ST
The generator is louder than advertised, and the COsense technology seems unreliable. Additionally, it struggles to power my essential devices during outages.

  • Perfect!
Style: PM3800, 49 ST
Took less than five minutes out of the box for me to add oil and gas and have power after going without for over a week after hurricane beryl hit lake Jackson tx. I now have a window unit ac running in my living room, lights, and my refrigerator is working for the first time in over a week. I can charge my phone! I even did a load of laundry! Having something like this is a game changer after the devastation of a hurricane. It has run non stop for two days now, and I highly recommend. It always starts on the first or second pull, and it is easy to pull start. It runs smoothly. I hear my neighbors generators cutting in and out, rough idling and stopping all together sometimes. I haven't had any of those problems the power is consistent and smooth. The only drawback to this unit is that it weighs 96 lb. It takes two people really to move it. I can push it around by myself, but it's not easy. ... show more
