This is a great generator, but squirrels wintered-over in it and chewed the wiring. Now it won't start. I had to get a new one right away (not as good). This is a great deal for someone with the ability to fix the wiring. The rest of the generator is great. It has a lot of power (5500 KW running). I used it to power my whole house. I also used it to run a wood shop.
