Generac Guardian, November 2, 2009
By woolst from South East Pennsylvania

"I have used this model for a while now and it has been flawless. Delivery was suprisingly simple (it is heavy) and my electrician appreciated the complete package, there was virtually nothing he needed to get out of his truck I used the LP option, and conversion of the unit was simple and well documented. I'll have one of these wherever I live. bw"

easy to install generator, July 13, 2009
By scmore from Calhoun, KY.

"The generator was very easy to install with simple to understand instructions.
It runs very quietly and efficient. The controls give you lot of information on when to change oil, total hours in service, and history of all start and stop times.
Comes with its own battery charger, transfer switch, and can be programed to start once a week any day or hour that you choose. Excellant product!!!"

By Mikey52 from Pacific NW

"installed this generator in my primary residence which is about 8k sq ft. i can run nearly everything on it (w/exception of two 5 ton AC units -- figured i was pushing my luck). had to buy a separate 200amp transfer switch though because the included one is pretty pathetic."
