An easy electric start eliminates the need to pull a rope.
It also offers one of the longest life expectancies in the industry, with over 3,000 hours of runtime. Guardian Ultra Source portable generators feature an electronic governor, which maintains steady speed and eliminates voltage drop when loads are applied.

VERY SATISFIED I have bought and installed two Guardian/Generac 15,000kw generators with very little effort and they have performed nearly perfectly. Considering the price and the terrific capability I am very satisfied. My brother has installed the more sophisticated version with with the automatic switching panel. I just did a fast and easy installation by backfeeding the house panel. I installed a 4-leg heavy-duty 75 amp "welding" outlet protected by 50 amp breakers attached to the main house breaker panel. Then I made... more info
Not rocket science... but... This unit is a reliable beast. I suspect that direct buyers (no local dealer) might have difficulties getting their generator to peak perform, right off the pallet. This unit generally requires some fine tuning to run smoothly, and if you are not mechanically adept, buy a smaller unit with a Honda. The Generac motor has been around for a long time, and is a very reliable (as in better than the riding mower engines) power plant. It does need to be tuned to run with the demand. It has a controlled idle that... more info
Good Price But beware! Excellent wattage (power available to run things). Excellent amperage (current it will deliver). But it has a serious drawback and the only way I found out was to not buy it and make a phone call. Yep thats right I did not buy it and here's why. Power went out last winter here in Colorado for 3 1/2 days. When I loose power I loose my well pump. Not good for that long. So I decided to get a generator large enough to power my 50-amp well pump and the fridges to avoid loss of expensive meat. Decided to... more info
Good machine, but loud! Solid performance, easy to assemble, generally a good machine, but heavy and loud. I installed a manual switch to disconnect from main supply. It will easily run my entire house (A/C, W/H, stove, micro, freezer, etc..). Nice to have here in south FL. Neighbors like to know I have it, but dislike it when I run it every week or so to keep it in good condition because it is LOUD. Somehow they seem to forget about the noise when the power goes out and I save their frozen food.... Hmmmm? I used an... more info
