PowerShot Portable Generator SPG5568

Works great. I let some family members borrow it after they lost power, and it was able to power their fridge, washing machine, a TV, 3 table fans, iPhone/iPad chargers with no problem. This machine is a beast and maintenance is easy.

I purchased this generator shortly after Hurricane Ian. I did not get the chance to utilize the generator before power was restored to my neighborhood. I have tested the operation and most of the power outlets. I will complete my test in the next few days. Too many other hurricane distractions get in my way.

My good friend and I purchased two of the 5568 models. The store had just received a truckload of generators. They were very expensive, but with our area of SW FL just missed being destroyed by Hurricane Ian and out of power for 4 days, we bought 2 and returned to our homes. Set up units in carport areas and ran extension cords for fridge, freezer, some lights, fans medical equipment, phone chargers, etc. They worked extremely well, but are very loud. Was not aware that these units are designed for commercial applications, job sites, etc. until more research was made. All sorts of generators were running throughout our small community. Run time on a full tank was very good, nearly 12 hours and the Honda engine is always a plus for my friend and me when purchasing gas power equipment. So, long story short a very nice machine, very much worth the expense and has a CO sensor that shuts down the unit, if detected. It's very well built and will last as long as we hope to need one. 3 yr residential warranty too. Disappointed to learn that it is imported. Guessing most are any more!
