Powerhouse and Portable  Time owned: 6 to 12 months
Best way to look at these items is to give the negatives and positives. (Pun intended)

Dislikes
- price.it is at the top of the line
- weight.is portable but not by Mom. handle & wheels but still I get my son(s) to move it
- noisy. on the louder side of generators, like a loud lawnmower.

likes
- price point. A good price overall. includes a 25 foot power cord 10g with a four socket terminus. An expensive add on if purchased separately
- overkill on power generation but as "black out" substitution, it is just right.
- good company reputation
- The engine. It is a B&S. Means you can parts almost anywhere. Other models/Coleman I think, have a Subaru or something engine. I am thinking up-time for these things.
