We have had our Winco generator for 10 years now and yes it can be loud once it starts, but it smooths out and is reliable, heavy duty construction. I would whole heartily suggest this unit.

This Is A Great Unit For Off Grid

Review Posted 09/17/2020
WE are 100% off grid. We have two outback inverters 8k each, with the outback you can program the current that you pull from the generator .we pull 6000 watts ( 26 amps )continuous until the batteries are charged .People have said that this unit is noisy, not that bad it does not bother the deer.

Backup Generator For Off Grid Custom Home

Review Posted 12/10/2018
Absolutely the best product for the price LP gas is the best value because it is delivered and no highiway / road taxes to pay. Application is for a 30 year design power system brushless alternator, hydraulic valve lifters, galvanized enclosure with lots of access points makes this the unit to buy for the long term.

High Quality But Quite Loud
By Ben H.
Puget Sound Area, Washington
Review Posted 08/18/2017
I was drawn to this generator due to it's Honda motor. Everything else in its class seemed to have low quality motors. The housing is heavy steel and everything about it says high quality. The biggest con for me is the noise. If your home is in a suburban area, I'd look elsewhere. We previously had a Honda EU7000is which worked great but our power was unreliable that an automatic generator seemed worthwhile. Inside our home, I couldn't tell the Honda 7000 was even running unless it was otherwise silent. The Winco is so loud, I want to turn it off at night which somewhat defeats the benefit of it being automatic. If you're in a rural area or have it located on the opposite side of a wall from your home then you're probably ok. In denser housing, your neighbors may hate you when this runs. My only other minor gripe is the surfaces of the unit aren't well suited to shed water. Our home was in the NorthWest and there was always a pool of water on the top and around the edges of it.
Pros: High quality unit with Honda motor. Super heavy duty.
Cons: Loud.

Thank you for taking time to review our generator. The Honda you had previously had Inverter technology which will cut the noise quite a bit. We do not manufacture Inverter Generators and put the dba information on our spec sheets. As for the pooling of water, I spoke with our tech support and we have not had this brought to our attention before, thank you. I will let our engineers aware of this.

Beautiful Unit

Review Posted 08/08/2016
I installed this Unit on 8-5-2016. Had the propane tank delivered and hooked up. I had already done all the electric hook-ups myself. I pressed the two appropriate buttons and presto it runs like a little sewing machine. I have the 12000 KW unit and was a little concerned about having enough power delivered to my well pump.
My pump requires a minimum of 10,000 KW to get it started and I had over 700 feet or #6 thhn wire to go through to get to the pump, so I was concerned about the voltage drop, but the pump kicked off immediately with no problems. The folks at Winco said I should be able to run my four ton A/C with it but nothing bigger. I haven't tried the A/C yet. Of course I would not be able to run the pump and the A/C simultaneously.
This unit is beautifully engineered and well insulated. It is VERY quiet. The is no "junk" in this unit. It has a Honda engine and a Mecca-Alte (world class) alternator. Time will tell about its durability, but it is certainly off to a good start!
