User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Not bad..
I own one of these bought from Home Depot. Price was EXCELLENT. May not be a Honda, etc.. But for 400 it is an excellent back up generator. It is made in the US. Starts EVERY time, runs nearly the whole house including the furnace.(No AC) (Will run Window AC). I keep the gas treated, run int once a month or so (As you should ANY gas engine, unless winterized) It is a purchase worth the money.
5 Stars Good Generator
Bought this generator over a year ago at Home Depot for under 400.00 at a clearance price.PROS:Has low oil shutoff/Rigid tires/2 110 volt plugs/1 220 plugs./low fuel consumption.Have ran this generator continuosly with 2 jobsite air compressors and 4 roofing coil nailers with no problems.Aiso had 3way hooked up charging 1 Milwaukee 3 bay battery charger and 1 V28 battery charger.CONS:Minor-Fuel shutoff is inline wing type/No oil level indicator glass/Could use 2 more 110 outlets.FINAL THOUGHTS:Have been well pleased with this generator as it has withstood all tests I have thrown at it.
5 Stars Power Back GT5250 3 years Excellent for the Money
Purchased a GT5250 real cheap because someone did not put oil in the motor and blew the connecting rod clean out of the engine with half of the piston. Put a shot block in it and it has run great for 3 years. Use it for storms in southern Louisiana – many times!
Works every time and powers everything necessary like the frig, freezer, pc, satellite, cell phone chargers, freezer, router, switch, lights, TVs, DVDs, and a whole bunch more including the water pump. Not quite like a Honda but great for occasional use for a few weeks a year.
Extremely fuel efficient and only have to fill up twice a day for continuous use.
4 Stars Great machine for the money.
I bought my machine from a guy who has to keep up with the Jones’s. He bought a new Kubota brand, and I bought his Devilbiss. The machine works great! Only once, it wouldn’t start, but I drained the old fuel, put in fresh gas, and it started right up. Pro’s – It is a great machine for the money. Con’s – It is a little on the noisy side, and a little too heavy to be called portable.

I put this generator thru hell, we ran it for 18 hours a day for 5 days when hurrican gustro came thru louisiana and it never failed us. we ran a 110 unit, tv,freezer,fridge,fan and when the heavy rains came i would plug in the 1.5 horse power pump on the pool to remove excess water. it was well worth the 649 i paid for it.
