Generac 5626 GP Series GP7000E 8750-Watt 410cc OHV Portable Gas Powered Generator with Electric Start (Non-CARB Compliant)

This Generac generator is perfect as a generator for home use, and will power essential items in your home during any power outage.  It ports very well too and can easily be taken with you to the camping site or to the jobsite.

Featuring a compact, wheeled frame for easy transport, the Generac 7,000-Watt Portable Gas-Powered Generator with Electric Start provides a reliable power supply wherever you need it. A Generac OHVI (overhead valve industrial) engine delivers performance and power, while a sturdy steel-tube cradle protects the generator’s exterior. For safe and comfortable use, the circuit-breaker outlets prevent power overloads, and the low-tone muffler makes for ultra quiet operation.

This generator comes with a 2 year guarantee, and has extra capacity to hand initial surge loads.

It is important to keep your generator covered at all times when you are not running it.  It is not enough that you store it in a cool dry area.  Dust particles can build up and get into your machine.  You are wasting your investment if you do not take care of it and maintain it.

Always go by the manufacturers guidelines, especially regarding which oil to use.  The same applies to whatever fuel you need to run your generator whether that be propane, natural gas or diesel.  If you are looking at a portable generator as a whole house generator then make sure you allow for the surge capacity that most appliances require when they initially switch themselves on.

This can be up to 3x the power that they need when up and running.  So if you do not have a limitless generator then turn your appliances on slowly.  Get an understanding of the wattage needed to start them up, and start them one by one accordingly.

The location of your generator is extremely important too and can have an impact on how well it will run for you.  If using anything but electricity as a fuel source then ventiliation for the exhaust fumes to escape should be a priority.
