Customer Reviews

Great generator - BUT
Its a robust 10Kw continous generator , running with a honda GX motor, electric start, whats not to love. I own this generator myself.

My gripe, as far as using it for powring my house in a blackout, is that I can't find a 50 amp transfer switch that is compatable with the L14-50R recepticle they put on the generator. Northstar speaks of one in their manual but they don't carry that one. Now northstar carries the Reliance brand, but their 50 amp is HARDWIRE ONLY - meaning you need to shell out another 100 bucks or so for an inlet box.
Gentran carries a transfer switch that can connect to a cable, but (BIG BUT) it does not take the L14-50P plug that would connect to a L14-50R recepticle on the generator. So you need to find a cord with two different plugs on different ends , or buy the plugs and have your electrician attach them to the (expensive) 50 amp cord.

Also, make sure you budget some money for extras you probably need: 100 buck for a cord, 100 bucks for a wheel kit , a battery, and a cover and even the motor oil which is not included.
