5 out of 5 stars Great Unit   January 9, 2008
Eugene A. Hale (Gig Harbor, WA)
Received the generator in perfect condition. After mounting the wheel kit, I added the oil which is supplied with the generator. I added some gas and it started on the 2nd pull. The motor must have an automatic compression release. It was very easy to pull for a 13hp engine. Very pleased with the generator.


2 out of 5 stars Expensive paper weight / noise maker   December 6, 2007
P. A. Kraus (Woodinville, WA, USA)
Because I an an optimist, I will say that eventually, this may turn out to be a good product. Unfortunately, two weeks after it was delivered, I still don't know, because it arrived broken. Once the engine started, the generator did not produce any electricity. Zilch. I brought it in to the local manufacturer's repair facility (which involved the difficulty of hoisting its 200+ pounds of bulk into the back of my vehicle), and it is still there after almost two weeks, due to the fact that the repair facility did not have the replacement parts in stock, AND they are backordered.

Needless to say this has been frustrating. Looks like Porter Cable needs better quality control in its manufacturing. Good thing we never get any bad storms out here in the Pacific Northwest.

IT HAD THE OUTLET TYPES I WAS LOOKING FOR.
CONSTRUCTION WAS A LITTLE CHEESY AND A BOLT FOR GAS TANK WAS STRIPPED OUT.
I'M WELL SATISFIED.



5 out of 5 stars Great generator for the $$$$   October 16, 2006

No problems with shipping from Amazon. Generator runs like a top. Engine pulls easy with no battery. I hooked it up with a Reliance 6 circuit transfer switch and it runs 2 refrigs, freezer, heater, lights, tvs, microwave, ceiling fans - no problem. Plus it's easy to move on the wheels and seems fairly fuel efficient. Brushless altenator is also nice.


4 out of 5 stars Great Generator...but can be Hit or Miss   July 21, 2006

I have bought several of these generators, as part of a generator package that I install for residential customers. The last one that I bought just didn't seem to run as smooth as the others.
