All Power, APGG10000-10,000 Watt Starting Power Generator JD Engine Gasoline Electric Start Portable Wheel Steel Frame

I will update the review in 4 months after the hurricane season of 2020. SO FAR the unit was provided as promised and then the set up was easy, the registration easy and the testing...EASY. Get this ...no where can I find literature that states for a fact that the 10K Dual Fuel ( I have twin 100 lbs. propane tanks, good for 5-7 days CONTINUOUS USE) unit will run the entire home, including air handler. BUT EVERY SINGLE TECHNICIAN involved in either the set up or to inspect the process says that it will do the job with room to spare. My home is only 1,100 sq ft and I am going to kill unnecessary rooms and circuits reducing the cool air demand to 750 Sq ft. Along with the windows covered in white 1/2" plywood, providing along with the window protection from wind, now the solar blocking and insulation, this home will be an ice box, with the AC unit (and this unit is a great ECO model from Rheem) making far fewer cycles, less starting up (which makes a great power demand and is not good for the generator if it 'bogs down' too much during such 'start ups")making for a smooth emergency power supply operating with out worry. I am using OEM parts for back up including spark plugs and fuel filter medium and using FULL SYNTHETIC oil to ensure long life. OMT to ensure that one keeps up with the running time of the motor, American Power has in installed a gauge that keeps the time for you making for a good routine maintenance on the filters and the oil.

Bought this to run propane. Paired w a $300 Connecticut Electric 10 circuit 7,500 watt manual transfer switch. Can run my 2,200 sqft home, minus the Clothes Dryer, Central Air / Heat. Most generators come w the same engine, just rebranded. This one is as reliable as any out there. So don’t let a name brand take priority over price. Biggest complaint (isn’t worth mentioning) but the handle grip sleeves tend to slide off the poles and into your hands when pulling (moving) the unit. Little glue or silicone will stop that. No other complaints. Assembly was easy. Instructions actually require that you stand the generator on end to attach wheels and feet. (Prior to adding fuel or engine oil). It’s quieter than expected. Delivery wasn’t a big deal either. The generator comes well packed w/ 2 additional tube frame components that are meant to be discarded after unboxing to protect the top fuel tank side of the unit. I saved them. Ended up making an umbrella holder with them. Good job Amazon!

I have used this generator with propane gas to power my house (at least the most essential things) and it has worked great. My only complaint is that the ignition key stopped working after using it for the first time so I have to manually pull the cord to start it. Also, to turn it off I have to switch it to gas (when there is no gas) to turn off the engine. It has saved me from some power outages so I'm not going to bother fixing the ignition key since the essential parts are working.

Compré dos generadores de esta marca y la verdad no tengo queja, la uso mucho porque estoy en una zona que no existe mucha electricidad, lo que más me gusta es que enciende muchos electrodomésticos, es funcional y realmente útil para mi

When it worked (once) it was fine. It was difficult starting it because the instructions failed to mention that you have to be sure the battery is hooked up completely. A wire was hanging and there was no nut to attach it to. We jerry-rigged it so the wire was somewhat attached to the battery. Once that mystery was solved, the generator ran fine. The next time the power went out, I tried to start the generator again. No luck. The wire to the battery was attached and all systems seemed to be exactly as they should have been, but still a no-go. I finally called a mechanic, who came to the house, and he could not figure out the problem right away. Eventually, he noticed that the hook for the choke control had broken off. He took the generator to his garage, and one of the other mechanics made a hook for the choke control. He also noticed that the oil level meter/gauge was not operating, so he told me to check it regularly when I have to run the generator. Though I'm glad to have a generator in an emergency, this particular one is not reliable and I wish that I had chosen a different one.

This duel fuel, electric start generator starts, runs, works perfectly. 2 separate 120 volt breakers and outlets. 2 different 240 volt outlets plus a 12-volt battery charger (with clamps) is included. It runs all the basics in my house. By using only propane, I can simply hit the key and cycle the engine and charge the battery monthly and be assured the generator will run whenever I NEED it. I would highly recommend this generator.
