Pros: None that I can think of.
Cons: Cost me $$$ and time to repair the damage caused by this unit
Summary: I was given this generator as a gift, from my late father in law, so I do not know how much they cost. It was new and unused when I got it. I used it to replace a smaller Devlbliss that I had. Now, I had it hardwired into my panel, with a transfer ... read more

Cons: Air-cooled and high RPM engine design is very loud.

Pros: Reliable and sturdy
Cons: A bit loud. And What -- No wheels?
Summary: I picked up this little baby to help me get my sump pump running and handle a flood, and perhaps run my refrigerator and some lights. Did I mention that I live in Chicago where this happens every week one Spring starts?

Pros: Ran everything we needed during power outages

Pros: Easy starts, runs great!

Pros: Good engine, long runtime, good capacity
Cons: Poor regulation, noisy under load, can't run electronic devices
Summary: I thought I was getting a good deal when I picked up a PRO5000 from Costco for $399 on a closeout. When I fired it up I noticed the output was 143V which is way high. So I called Coleman to ask what the problem might be and they told me that it was ... read more

Pros: It's a powerful full time essential lifesafer
Cons: Be mindful of who(m) can do major repairs.
Summary: I have two Coleman generators which are awesome workhorses for my 40 acre ranch in the mountains of Utah. Both are over four years old when one blew a spark plug from the block. I had the hole re-bored and ran it for three hours when the crankcase blew

Pros: Longer run time on a tank of gas than owners manual suggests
Cons: Choke switch got unhooked somehow but can manually choke it and it starts right up.
Summary: This generator has been super for us in the most recent ice storm where we have been without power for 3 days and counting now. We are lucky as we have a gas log fireplace and a gas water heater. With the extra space heater this generator runs along

Pros: Starts fast and runs smooth and will handle my needs.
Cons: None
