We get a lot of power outages where I live, about 10 since purchase. Each time it functioned flawlessly, including during the 4 day outage from hurricane Sandy. Although I check the oil regularly, I have never had to add any. Plus, the oil and plug change is recommended every 2 years instead of once a year, which saves on service calls if you don't want to do it yourself. Worth every penny.</span> April 4, 2013<meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2013-04-04" /></div><div id='16609833' itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review"><meta itemprop="itemReviewed" content="Automatic Standby Generator, 17LP/16NG kW" /><span itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating">Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">5</span> out of <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span></span> by <span itemprop="author">Jon66</span><span itemprop="name"> Great features</span><span itemprop="description"> The housing is sleek and compact, looks great.It is very easy to access the controls and maintenance areas.

The weekly exercise cycle is flawless, and I was amazed at how quiet the unit operates during this cycle. Only one brief outage to date, during which the generator started promptly and supplied power almost immeidately and without interruption. Because my home is on the waterfront, I selected the aluminum enclosure . . . glad that option was available.

Our neighbor (who also has a generac standby generator) kept an eye on the fuel level for us. When we returned home, he said he was stunned at the high efficiency of the generators. EXACTLY what I want to hear when it may take some time before power returns and road passage and fuel delivery may take some time.An excellent product!</span> February 22, 2013<meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2013-02-22" /></div> </div><!--end-reviews--> <script type="text/javascript">document.getElementById('BVRRReviewsSoiSectionID_2ZMG7').style.display = 'none';</script></div><!--begin-pagination--><div class="BVRRPager BVRRPageBasedPager"><span class="BVRRPageLink BVRRPageNumber"> <a href="http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/itemDetailsRender.shtml?seoUrl=GENERAC-Automatic-Standby-Generator-2ZMG7&ItemKey=2ZMG7&bvrrp=5049-en_us/reviews/product/2/2ZMG7.htm" title="2" class="BVPageLink">2</a></span><span class="BVRRPageLink BVRRPageNumber"> <a href="http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/itemDetailsRender.shtml?seoUrl=GENERAC-Automatic-Standby-Generator-2ZMG7&ItemKey=2ZMG7&bvrrp=5049-en_us/reviews/product/3/2ZMG7.htm" title="3" class="BVPageLink">3</a></span><span class="BVRRPageLink BVRRPageNumber"> <a href="http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/itemDetailsRender.shtml?seoUrl=GENERAC-Automatic-Standby-Generator-2ZMG7&ItemKey=2ZMG7&bvrrp=5049-en_us/reviews/product/4/2ZMG7.htm" title="4" class="BVPageLink">4</a></span><span class="BVRRPageLink BVRRPageNumber"> <a href="http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/itemDetailsRender.shtml?seoUrl=GENERAC-Automatic-Standby-Generator-2ZMG7&ItemKey=2ZMG7&bvrrp=5049-en_us/reviews/product/5/2ZMG7.htm" title="5" class="BVPageLink">5</a></span><span class="BVRRPageLink BVRRNextPage"><a href="http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/itemDetailsRender.shtml?seoUrl=GENERAC-Automatic-Standby-Generator-2ZMG7&ItemKey=2ZMG7&bvrrp=5049-en_us/reviews/product/2/2ZMG7.htm" title="next" class="BVPageLink">next</a></span><span class="BVRRPagerArrows">&gt;&gt;</span> </div><!--end-pagination--> </div></div>
