 Great Equiptment

I purchased this in Oct. 2009 for backup power and have already used in twice in Indiana.

It provides great peace of mind. When the power goes out, it kicks right in within 10 seconds!

It's a wonderful product at a good price.

 Glad to have peace of mind

I purchased a Generac 5505 earlier this summer following a winter plagued with power losses and a horrific ice storm in Massachusetts.

The generator was packaged as described, and installed. I have yet to loose power since the installation, but according to my electrician the package was easy to put together.

The generator exercises itself once a week and it's very quiet. Glad to have the peace of mind!
