Powerful!

Review Posted 12/05/2023 
This 26kw unit is very powerful and a great value. Its smaller footprint vs other generators companies sizes makes it easy to install. The no special tools feature to remove panels and get to all the components is niceI like the new weekly exercise feature, it only runs once a week for a quick less than 30 seconds test. Saving money on propane vs traditional 10-20 minute test runs like other companies. I like the 6 year non-prorated warranty. Meaning unlike other companies, B&S covers the unit for a full 6 years!

Review Posted 01/17/2023 
Can’t give a better review because I cannot get here, or any other site, a monitoring system for local only use.
Only systems available require cell and cloud. I only want local network and I do not want to pay for some monthly service.
