This unit comes with a five-year warranty
It can power appliances when compared to other generator and also very important can power two AC units
Lots of efficient power
Easy to install and operate

Non-functional parts, previous users have confessed of having a challenge where the stepper motor or the governor not working properly, therefore, it runs full speed until it shut itself off
Although from the manufacturer they claim automatic style exhaust system and dampening technology is employed to make it relatively quieter but the truth is this unit is very noisy
It very heavy you will require a friend when installing
Very large transfer box
