The unit is heavy duty and has lots of good features for the price. Much quieter than I expected. During the recent (Oct 2011) snow storm here in the Northeast I was glad to have this unit because most of the Northeast lost power including myself. After starting the unit it seemed to run fine for several hours then all of a sudden there was a problem. The motor continued to run but there was no power (juice). Since it was late I decided to shut down the unit. The next day it was no better. Curious, I checked the output voltage at an onboard receptacle, it was fluctuating between 12vac and 59vac. I contacted ETQ about the problem but they told me the cost of repair would be mine because it’s out of warranty. Yes, it’s out of warranty but I didn’t have a need to use it until just recent and it only has a total of ** FIVE ** hours on the unit when it failed. It’s still brand new. Even though I appealed to ETQ that they should stand behind their product regardless of the expired warranty they continued to play the warranty card game. Next time I will pick a unit with a multi year warranty.
