It has functioned flawlessly for 4 years and I maintain it myself (oil changes). I know it’s much less technical than a auto start unit but I like it this way. Of course someone is always home or close by...me.
So this is ONE positive review for Generac. I also have other Generac equipment and they have been flawless as well.

I installed a 14KW Generac about 8 years ago and had an intermittent problem. After finding the right company with someone smarter than a 5th grader, the electrician informed me they had an issue with the control unit and replaced it. Never had another issuer in 7 years!
