I was recently a victim of hurricane Jeanne in Florida. The generator ran everything in my house including a window unit air conditioner. It would run for about 8 hours before it needed refueling and it was not that loud. I used the generator for 4 days solid and it never missed a beat. I would recomend this generator to anyone.

This review is from: Porter-Cable 5,500-Watt Portable Generator BSV550-W (Lawn & Patio)

I bought the Porter-Cable 5,550-Watt Portable Generator last year and I am pleased with this purchase. I had an electrician create a system so I could plug the generator directly into my circuit panel when the power went out. I have used it 3 times and my wife once. She does not like to do these types of things but I was away. The generator started all 4 times with 1 or 2 pulls. It easily powers the well pump, oil burner, refrigerator, computer, TV and a number of lights.

Starts first or second pull, pulls easy, runs everything!!! I paid less for this than some sites sell the 12 horse Vanguard engine for (and got free shipping!)
