4.0 out of 5 stars Loud!, September 21, 2003

Lorin (Harrisburg PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Porter-Cable BS600-W 6,000 Watt Generator with 11 HP Engine and Wheel Kit, Electric Start (battery sold separately) (Lawn & Patio)
I bought this model when it was offered by Devilbis in 1999. Never had to use it other than for routine tests until Isabel came through. We were out of power for two days, and the gen performed great! I have it wired into the house with a 10 circuit EmerGen transfer switch. I could run most of the house, my computers, fridge, freezer, and well pump with not sweat. I would power off the refrigeration and well pump when running the water heater, which took 5000 watts according to the meters. Electric start is great. But this thing is way too loud. Fortunately, I live in a rural 'hood in the PA mountains, and about 1/2 the residents had gen's running too, so mine didn't stand out too much. I'm looking for a solution to the muffler.
