Our little Generator has been out 5 times so far for short periods of time. Under 30 hours total. No complaints so far. I do exactly what the manual says.
The toughest part was putting the 10,000 BTU A/C in the window but only one time after the initial fitting. It ran great and cooled the Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen. We can run the A/C, Full-Size Fridge, TV, Modem, BI/PAP & a Fan and the generator still could have handled more. The Fuel Usage was Chicken Feed! Toymeister suggested an Oil Dipstick that is actually a Magnet. It did attract small pieces of metal from inside the engine during break-in. Saved me a possible big headache. There were also pointers on Youtube about Venting the Cabinet the encloses the Engine. That was simple. Next year a Carb that allows me to switch from Gas to Propane. I'm very happy for the help on this thread and that I posted instead of making a mistake. |

I have a 2018 Hyundai and The Dealer says Siphoning is a no go but I say it was no problem Taking or Putting Back unused gas after the storm. Didn't spill a drop the second time.

I saw the before and after of someone who had a large propane tank installed with a generator. I don’t know the installer, but afterward one could not tell they had dug up the yard to install the tank (except for just the very top of the tank showing). Impressive. That installation was done On a house that backs up to Moyer Loop.

These Installers really have their act together. They have done 8 homes in our neighborhood and there is zero evidence that they were ever there burying a tank. No exaggeration, there is not a pebble out of place or any dirt in the road. Having a Generac installed is a winner all around if you have a Medical need or just want the convenience of not having to goof around with the things that are necessary for a portable unit. As I age I would not hesitate for a second to go the Generac route but for now, I'm as happy as a clam at high tide. |

I bought a 9375 generator dual fuel i have a buried propane tank so i have plenty of propane had a hook up from the tank that the generator and hook into. Had an electrical plug outside of the electrical panel. Easy to hook up and use. Noise not a problem because you do not have to run it 24/7 I trickle charge the battery periodically so the starting of generator is easy
