I purchased this generator from Costco about 2 years ago. I have it paired with an interlock kit, and it has worked great. Most recently it provided power to our whole house for a 12 hour stretch when the latest Midwest Derecho took out the power. It provided stable, clean, reliable power. All of my LED lights house worked fine and none of my UPS units or electronics had issues with the power provided. There are 2 complaints about this generator;

1. It is VERY loud. Like, all of your neighbors for a 2-block radius will know it's running loud.

2. It will not start if the battery isn't charged, even with the pull cord. Because of the EFI, the computer needs power to turn over. I have it hooked up to a smart switch to charge for 4 hours twice a week to make sure it's always ready to go.
