Homelite HG6000 6,000 Watt 13 HP OHV Portable Generator Review

Within two weeks of buying the product as backup power for my large saltwater system, my power went out for six hours. The generator fired up on the second pull and ran everything plus the home A/C with no issues. It is a bit on the loud side, but I think that just makes the neighbors jealous when they're sitting in the dark. I've also ordered a manual transfer switch so I can power 10 house circuits with the generator by simply flipping breakers. Very solid product, well made, easy to move around using the supplied wheel kit and pull bars. Engine start pull is not very difficult either as it seems to have some sort of internal assist.

Shop-Vac 9254410 22-Gallon 6.25-Peak HP Rigth Stuff Wet/Dry Vacuum Review

I have this unit and am very pleased with it. The big 6 plus hp. motor pulling into the little 10 gallon tank make this the "hot rod" of portable vacuum units (as far as I am aware). I don't know of any competitive unit that will move 185 cfm of air. I bought this unit at about the same time I placed a new 650 cfm dust collector in service. My objective was to get a portable unit with enough muscle to be used in lieu of the larger dust collector for brief periods. The Shop-Vac 925-45-10 does this admirably. It pulls from my table saw, 6" jointer or 12" planer - not as well as my dust collector, but very respectably, nonetheless. I rated this unit only four stars because the motor is not serviceable. When a Shop-Vac motor burns out, our local factory authorized repair facility recommends trashing the entire unit and starting over again! Baloney! Why do I want to throw away a perfectly good stainless tank, dolly system and attachments? Before I settled on this unit, I looked seriously at the DeWalt models; I like their quiet operation and serviceable motors, but DeWalt doesn't publish a cfm spec. on their units and when I sent a message of inquiry - stating what I hoped to be able to do with the machine - I was politely ignored. So much for a sale that they might have had! Noise attenuation is another factor that's important to me and this model of Shop-Vac is at least respectable in this regard. Many mfgrs. still market older model designs with screaming motors; these are not acceptable to me at any price! The foregoing details the reasons why I'm a happy owner of a Shop-Vac 925-45-10. This is my fourth shop vacuum unit; I'm something of a "neatnik" and have worn out three other machines. Factoring in that experience, as well, I believe it's an outstanding machine for the money, and within the reservations I've described, gladly recommend it to anyone.

Briggs & Stratton 030210 Elite Series Vanguard OHV Portable Generator Review

I just recieved my new generator today. Amazon delivery was amazing. The truck line called. backed up to my door at my convienience, and me and the driver had it off the truck in less than 5 minutes. Keep in mind this is a 2 person job. Adding to the plus for the delivery is that it was absolutly free.
It took me a total of 10 minutes to install the wheels,support bracket, attach the battery cable(yes it does come with the battery installed),fill with the supplied oil and put in some gas. One little choke and the unit fired off a lot sooner than I anticipated. I ran some electrical power tools to make sure the unit was putting out power and they all worked flawlessly. I searched far and wide untill I settled on this unit. The Vangaurd engine ( built by mitsubishi according to The Briggs rep I talked to) was the major selling point. It is quieter than many larger generators and can ramp up to a 13500 watt surge. Im not hoping for a power outage , but I sure would like to put this baby to the test. I might just throw my transfer switch tomorrow and see what it can do. Very happy at this point

I own one of these bought from Home Depot. Price was EXCELLENT. May not be a Honda, etc.. But for 400 it is an excellent back up generator. It is made in the US. Starts EVERY time, runs nearly the whole house including the furnace.(No AC) (Will run Window AC). I keep the gas treated, run int once a month or so (As you should ANY gas engine, unless winterized) It is a purchase worth the money.
