Rated 5 out of 5 by DingDong37 from Generator has good encasem*nt. My new Generac generator was installed today. However, the propane tank will be underground, so they will return with a different tank and the job will be completed.I live 15 miles from the LA gulf coast and hurricanes really do a bad job on our electricity that causes outages for a week. That means you empty your fridge and throw it all out, no a/c, no lights, etc.Can't wait to put to use. .

Rated 5 out of 5 by Klavasseur from I love all the features on this model. I know the generator works thanks to the weekly tests. My power used to go out all the time. It has not since I bought this. So thank you Generac!

Rated 5 out of 5 by GEQMAQ from This is my second purchase and it has many new features. Recently purchased my second Generac getting a bigger unit for whole house power. The Generac unit I previously had was half the size of my new unit and had provided backup power on several occasions, the most was for 41 hours running uninterrupted. It has been the best investment for my home and an additional benefit was when I notified my insurance company of the installation they noted that I would get a credit on my policy for having the generator and that it would also add value to my home. IT WILL NEVER DISSAPOINT YOU!

Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnaJ0 from Great product We LOVE our new whole house generator. I have oxygen machines that require electricity to charge. It gives us peace of mind to have the generator in event of power failure. We have had one power shortage since installation. It came on promptly, powered our house and used very little gas to run for about 4-5 hours. It is great! Also increases the value of our home. Love it and am so glad we purchased!
