| Electric Generators Direct Recommendation |
| By Electric Generators Direct |
Brand new for 2008. We actually witnessed the first few models come off the assembly line.
In our opinion, the older Guardian generators did the job very well. A redesign wasn't really necessary, but it sure is appreciated.
Anyone would be proud to install this nicely designed unit next to their home. The tan square box is gone. It now features an eye-pleasing enclosure with rounded corners. It looks better than most central air conditioners.
More importantly, it still does the job. This 10 kilowatt version is powerful enough to run a small home, except a central air conditioner.
If you live in the northern states or don't mind sweating during a summer power outage, the 10 kilowatt version is a great option for you. |

| Excellent Product |
| By Brad Jeffrey (Fort Wayne, IN) |
I debated purchasing a standby generator vs. the gasoline powered unit, but the ease of use and features made the decision easier.
I just installed the 10kw Guardian unit with the transfer switch and I couldn't be more pleased. The unit was delivered (free!) in excellent condition. The packaging was even top notch!
The total installation time was 4-5 hours with 2 people (and that included a run to the hardware store for the natural gas lines).
Installation was very easy if you are even slightly mechanically inclined. If you aren't, call an electrician / plumber to help you out. After installation, it fired right up and was running the house in 10 seconds.
You can barely hear the unit running in the house and can't hear it at all when the TV is on or kids are running around.
The unit is solid and well built. They thought of everything! I highly recommend these generators.
If you are thinking about getting the 8k unit, spend the extra $500 to get the 10k. You get a better engine, more circuits, and a better control panel on the generator.
My wife didn't like spending $2,700 on a generator but she won't complain next time we DON'T lose power!! |
