Good size and portable too.,

"Plenty of capacity to run my entire house as a standby generator yet still small enough to take to the track on the weekends. Quiet enough to run all night in my neighborhood as well. I have recommended this model to many people after the ice storm last winter."

"I have owned other Generators, and have had ok luck with them but most required much more maint. and used fuel faster.
This unit, would run a window unit, my septic pump, Frig. 20 in tv and my computers on 5 gal for over 8 hrs, I have used it many times for running my air compressor, and other construction tools and have hand 0 Problems, only maint I have had to do is oil change and fuel filter. no drop in output or generator head issues as i have had with others. always fires on the first pull every time.

Great generator,

By Fullsteamahead
from Northern Florida
"Purchased this unit to operate my home during storm seasons. It has performed as advertised with no problems. The 220 volt selection allowed us to run some critical medical equipment for my mom. I would recommend this to all my friends. My neighbor was able to tie in with me and keep his food from spoiling during long power losses. Always order the wheel kit as this is needed to make this a complete power unit that can be used anywhere. My son now has the unit at his hunting camp to keep all the "special" things running."

November 17, 2008
"This generator supplied power for my house for 18 days straight, minus recommended oil changes and fueling services, without any problems after a hurricane. You will not be dissappointed with this purchase. I was very pleased with the way the generator performed and by the sevice that I recieved from the folks at Northern Tool. They were much more organized than the other big name hardware stores. They have earned my buisness! One other note, purchase the handle and wheel kit accessory to make it even more handy. A big Thanks to the folks at the Houston I-45 location!!"

Northstar 13 hp Generator 8000 watt,

from Grapeland, Tx.
"I Ordered this after the last Hurricane came thur Texas, we was out eletric for only a few days. So I decided to get something that would run our fridge and freezeer units, plus a couple of lights in the house. We got our Gen. after eletric came back on, so I have't really got use it very much, but, I have tried it out and its really does run all of our stuff that we need during a power outage. I highly recommend this unit to anybody. And, the Honda motor is the easiest starting motor that I've ever owned."

NOT DISAPPOINTED,
August 18, 2008
By TAZSHD
from central, Maryland
"I bought this generator several years ago before a hurricane. I got a couple hours of use out of it that time before power was restored. This year not only I have used it quite a bit but have loaned it out to friends without power. Nobody had anything bad to say about it. It has powered everything needed including well pumps and a/c. It runs about 7 hrs on a tank of fuel. Easy to start, even pull start and with the Honda engine will probably last a lifetime. Get the wheel package. I didn't and need to."

"I Purchased my North Star Generator in 2002, and it has been my emergency back up electrical source for my home and business. Our small business in Miami had an electrical fire and we were able to run our operations with the Generator for two weeks during repairs including running our computers / airconditioning in the building as well as our gas pump ( Boat Rental Business)
A couple of years later we had several Hurrincanes during the same season and I ran my whole house for three weeks.

"I purchased this generator several years ago as preparation for hurricaine season in South Florida. Since then there has been four storms and numerous power outs. This generator performed well each time supplying power to two refrigerators, two freezers, a well water pump and even central air conditioning. Currently a storm is heading my way but no worries since I have quality electrical back-up."
