My Ariens Generator
By Florangela H.

Purchased 08/31/2016 | 
Review Posted 10/12/2016 
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.

#1 Great American Company
By Bill P. 
Dade City, Florida
Purchased 08/02/2016 | 
Review Posted 08/30/2016 
I was pleased to receive my new generator, right off the truck the box was in perfect condition not a rip or a dent anywhere. Shipping only took a few days after ordering 4 days and 2 were Sat. & Sun. This was a great purchase price that no one could mach. The generator runs perfect, powers everything I wanted it to and then some. I know it will last because its powered by Honda and made by Ariens who also make Gravely mowers which I have one and love it.

By Dennis

Purchased 08/01/2016 | 
Review Posted 08/22/2016 
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.
