4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the occassional power outage, September 29, 2006

I've had nothing but success with this unit. I've used it a half dozen times over the last year or so and it's more than met my expectations: 1) starts easily, 2)gives out plently of juice for the fridge, tv, satellite box and some lights and 3) doesn't sound like a jet engine parked outside the front door. Can't speak to its effectiveness on a jobsite, but it works fine when the power goes out and for the occassional outdoor party when I've needed power for appliances and compressors away from the house.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a great deal., August 7, 2006

Got this generator last year the morning after Katrina hit out area and the power was out. Bought it mostly because there wasn't much to choose from at Home Depot and for the Porter Cable name.

Most generators this size & wattage usually come with a 30A generator extension cord included. Have had not problems with it. I just think there are better deals on generators with more features for the money.

Exactly what we need for power outages here in the mountains. Porter-Cable is an excellent brand name. Have always had good luck with any product made by Porter-Cable.
