Runs great from the start!

I purchased this prior to hurricane season. Of course I hope I dont have to use it, but if we lose power this should do the trick. Plenty of power to run my entire house. (without being stupid) It runs great so far. No problems.

Easy set up

I purchased this a month ago at Farm and Fleet. Set up was super easy. It fired right up, the battery already had a full charge on it for the starter. There are directions on the machine so when the power does go out and your in a rush you don't have to go looking for anything it's all on the machine and ready to get your house back up and running.

Easy to use

I bought the 8063 tri fuel generator at a local hardware store, I local electrician installed a transfer switch. Approximately a week later we had a power outage. The generator worked as expected it did seem to be a little hard to start i was using propane, but that may be normal I don't have experience with using propane for fuel.
