    Generator starts up great but breakers continually trip for the first 5 to 10 minutes regardless of which circuit is used, or what item I plug into it. After that it will run all day.

    VERY trashy output power signal. I was able to borrow a digital oscilloscope and measure under load. It was being used for a sound system and i cannot understand how it even worked by the ratty sine wave it was putting out. What does have a decent since wave output is the Generac. Save up and buy a better product than the UST GG5500.

    My UST GG5500 worked perfectly, and used it for about 5 hours.

    Save your money! I bought a UST GG5500, used it once, and after that one time use for less than an hour, it wouldn't start again. Finally, I realized the gas wasn't getting to the carb, so each time I go to start it, I need to raise the wheels with a block of wood to get gas into the carb. After the machine had 7 hours on it, it totally died. The 800 # offered no help. It's worthless.

    Great generator, the UST GG5500 starts every time, no problems at all after logging 150 hours on it. Nothing has fallen off, broken or failed in anyway. Runs everything i need it to when the power fails. Mostly keeping the food cold and frozen and making sure the kids can can have things to do, plus watch satellite tv or movies.

    I found the UST GG5500 was simple to set up and get running.Also I found the price and power ratio was reasonable. After only 10 hours of run time the carberator bowl just fell off. I am finding somewhat difficult finding the part I need to get up and running again.

    Generally the UST GG5500 was good until it stopped producing power. I've ran it for probably about 60-80 hours, but all of a sudden it just stopped putting out power. I tested all the circuits I could get to without opening up any of the coils. Every one is still a complete circuit, no fuses are blown, but it refuses to put out any juice. Kind of annoying. Has anyone else had this problem?
