Review Posted 04/17/2022
We had our Cummins RS17AE for almost two years. Sometime this summer I will be doing my first oil change 25 hour run time. We lost power last winter for 6 hrs and our generator done its job keeping our heat running for the very cold weather we were having. This was a good investment and gives you the piece of mind that your home is safe and sound.
