Generac 5500XL Review

This generator is awesome! I have owned this generator for 12 years. This thing starts by the 3rd pull in any weather (1 or maybe 2 pulls in spring/summer). I keep stable in the tank and when I'm done using it, turn the gas off and let the carb run dry. I have only had one problem with this and that was because the power to the house was restored and the wife turned the power on from the utility, with the generator still hooked into the system and running. OOPS!

A set of brushes later, it has run like a top. Only a 4 star rating because of the lack of hour meter, wheel kit and electric start.
