By Tim L.

Review Posted 01/12/2022
With no deration on natural gas, this is a true 20kW generator making it the most powerful in its class. Sleeker, quieter and more powerful than ever before, these units are designed to keep your whole home powered no matter what's going on outside.
The 6-Year limited warranty includes parts, labor and travel for the entire term of the warranty making it the industries most comprehensive warranty.

A GOOD DEAL

Review Posted 06/08/2024
I have had a BG for 15 years and this was my second unit, after we moved and left the first unit. Shipping crate was a little destroy on arrival, but the unit has worked well since. Started up when the power went out at 200 AM for two hours. It ran great and we adjusted the exercise to 15 minutes every week, unfortunately this week I cannot find that it ran on my info hub or my phone or computer so we need to look at this to see what is happening this week. It is nice to know it is exercising or running for a power outage via the info hub. As this is the end of six months of running I am worried the battery died and is not getting recharged but we will see on Tuesday its exercise day.

Good quality product. Would prefer a little more room for the wire in the generator and bigger lugs to fit the wires in.

Review Posted 06/18/2023
I bought this unit from Generators Direct. Delivery was perfect. I poured a 6" Slab for the unit and I used tapcon Concrete Screws for the anchors in the four corners. It has tested once a week I have it run for 15 minutes. This unit sips fuel on propane. I recommend the battery warmer and oil warmer accessories as in the winter time it's really good to have that oil and battery warmer than freezing unless you live in a climate that it never gets below 40 degrees F for very long. Power goes out and this unit is providing power within 30 seconds. this unit has never given me any issues. I can see what the power usage is on my iphone, I can see what the status is of the unit at any given time. This is a great investment.
