What I like to Onan electric generator Marquis Gold RV is the output, 7000 Watt output. The power is enough for home or small business supply. And also, this generator has low level of vibration. In other word, the generator is very quiet. The generator is enough to support one or two 13,500 BTU air conditioners. The generator uses gasoline to run the machine.

Bought this generator in March 2006 to keep the fridge and some lights running during power outages, and it hasn’t let me down yet. I’ve run it for up to 4 days continuously in 100-degree heat with no problems. Even after sitting for several months it’s easy to start, and quiet enough to leave running all night without bothering neighbors (as far as I know). I like the automatic throttle (uses only as much fuel as needed for whatever load is attached). The fact that it’s safe for use with computers is the real highlight though– nothing worse than a power blackout combined with the feeling of being cut off from the outside world. I can’t really say how much gas it consumes, but it will go all night with just the fridge running, then fill the tank in the morning.

We bought this after severe thunderstorms put us without power for nearly a week.
This unit will drive 1 sum pump, maybe 2, but that is really it. This is all we need it for and therefore we think it is worth the price.
If you need to drive a freezer/fridge and sump pumps you will need a 3250 watt unit. If you want to hook your airco in as well starts looking at a 5000 watt unit.
This one, again, helps save us from waterdamage and is GREAT to have on camping trips. It is quiet and relatively fuel efficient if you give it little tasks.
The unit is the size of a small ice cooler and weighs a bit more. We have used it several times and it is steady and reliable like a diesel train: it does not switch off and starts easily.
Good little helper in case of power outages!
