WEN 56352 3500 Watt 212cc 7 HP OHV Gas Powered Portable Generator with Wheel Kit

I bought this generator at Menards in December '08. We always have power outages and the sump pit fills up quick. I wanted something small to take care of this, so I went into Menards and took it home. It has been a great generator. 3500 watt surge, 3000 watt cont. It got us through a major storm in May of '09 when we were without power for about 5 days. I couldn't be happier with it. My only regret is not getting the 5500 watt unit. You MUST take care of it. Always use stabil fuel stabilizer in it. Start it once a month and run for about 15 minutes on half load. Always shut it down by turning off fuel supply and let it run out of gas. Use only synthetic oil and change and check REGULARLY. Remember, this is a chinese knockoff of a honda engine and you MUST take care of it or you won't have it as long as you should. Also, DO NOT BACKFEED YOUR BREAKER BOX. This can and WILL KILL A LINE WORKER. You will then be held liable and spend a very long time in jail. If you don't know what backfeeding is, do a search. They make a device called a transfer switch, that is what I got and installed and it works great. It is about as much as the generator but well worth the expense. I bought a relliance unit.
