Q: Does this unit have an L14-30 twist lock outlet?
Is it safe for tvs, electronics as household backup?
Installing transfer switch in house.
by Todd from Minnesota on June 30, 2016
A: Conventional generators like the Ariens consist of heavy copper coils, which generate a raw form of electricity. The engine must maintain a constant speed of 3,600 rotations per minute to produce AC power. In other words, it must run at full speed, regardless of the load needed, consuming more fuel and generating more noise.
The electricity produced isn't as clean as utility power. Therefore, standard generators are NOT recommended to power sensitive electronics like computers.
Inverter generators, however, utilize a different type of alternator to generate very clean AC power. The inverter technology reduces the generator's size and weight. But more importantly, the engine can run at varying speeds, significantly reducing the noise levels and fuel consumption..
This unit does have the L14-30 3 prong twist lock outlet.

Q: Hello,
Where is the Ariens 7500 Generator manufactured please? I am trying to buy American. If the Ariens isn't made here what would you recommend in this size and price range that is made in the US?
Thanks for your time.
by Rodney from Indiana on June 30, 2016
A: The Ariens is an imported generator and not Made in the US. I would recommend the Generac XG or XP series portable generators which are Made in the US in Wisconsin.

Q: I would like to buy the Ariens 986055. I have on my wall garage a 50 amp power inlet box.
How I can connect the generator to the box? What type of cable do I need?
by Javier from North Carolina on June 27, 2016
A: Because this generator only has a 30-amp outlet you will need to change out the inlet box to a 30-amp.
Reliance Controls 30-Amp (4-Prong) Power Inlet Box
Once this is installed you would use a 30-amp 4-prong power cord.

My Ariens Generator
I've had my generator for a very short time, so far very good. I will see how it performs through the years,too soon to rate its performance. The weakest point I can see know is the on/off bottom, wish it was more sturdy.

 Disappointed
Purchased because unit had Honda GX390 engine and figured would not have any issues. Also liked the electric start features,and power rating. Fired up unit with fresh fuel after receiving, unit surged under no load and load, had to play with choke to get unit to try to run smooth, but choke will not maintain. It appears unit may have a defect in the carb. Unit is also extremely loud, beyond anything else I own. I called PED to ask regarding these issues with customer service being of no help, just pawning it of on Ariens telling me to call their tech support. Very displeased with PED and product.

You were referred to Ariens because this unit is covered by a 3-year warranty. They would be able to provide you more detailed information regarding their product and where to locate one of their servicing dealers. Hopefully this is just a simple fix. Ariens can be reached directly @ 920-756-4688 or www.ariens.com moreWas this review helpful? 126 |

Very Happy
Purchased this generator, mainly because it's Ariens, secondly because of the Honda engine. within 3 days it was delivered with free lift gate service. Arrived in damaged on a skid. Put together easily. Started first time with 2 pulls. Runs nicely, not too noisy. Very happy with purchase.
Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Price, I'd Buy It Again Cons: No Fuel Gage Joseph Recommends This Ariens Product Was this review helpful? 62 |

Excellent.
I bought the ariens 7500 because I knew the engineers behind it at TTI. I also purchased the 10 circuit outdoor switch from Reliance, the Pro/tran 2 , 30 amp, and the 25 foot 4 prong from Centry wire and cable . I installed it and tested it and it did everything I expected. I received everything in 4 days. I'm happy so far. The real test will come at some point, but I'm confident I made the right decision.

Well Worth The Price!
Assembly took about 45 minutes. Added oil & gas, started on the first pull. The main reason I bought this generator was the Honda engine. Where else can you find a generator with a Honda engine at this price? It's louder than my previous generator, but also has 3X the power. I love it! No fuel gauge, but that's a minor issue that is greatly offset by the low price. Highly recommended!

Best Decision
As a single lady at 61 y/o, who recently moved to an area with unpredictable power outages, I was nervous about purchasing and installing my own generator. Buying the Ariens was the best decision ever. And with relative ease was able to complete the installation. It tested perfectly, started at the first push of the button! Of course,now there probably wont be a power outage for a while. I would have given the performance rating a 5 but have not had a chance to run it for any length of time.

Quick shipment and easy assembly. Started 2nd pull and ran smooth. I think the handle locks could be approved on but so far meets my needs.

Ariens 7500 Watt Electric Start Portable Generator W/ Honda Gx
O.K. got this, and put to gather, oil gas an such.Fired right up, the only thing I don't know if the battery is getting charged when running? Will do a voltage check to see if this is true or not. Looks like a solid machine, only got 3/10 hour on it and of course put a light load it until I run it some more.
Noise is a lot more quite than the one I sold.I am happy, and is this the only thing that matters?

Magic Generator
I bought this generator and is has solved all my problems. With it's mere presence it prevents my power from ever going out! I'm not sure how they do it. Next item on my shopping list is a snow plow! Thanks again Ariens!
