Quite Compact Power!:
Quite Diesel Unit, smooth operation. I use this as a back up for our home when the rural power fails. Runs my 220 pump and provides lights and power for small appliances. We have an all electric home. Of course it won't handle a 20kw furnace or Central A/C, but runs a whole house fans and small fans for the wood stove. Electric start and fuel economy make this unit great for the price.

still waiting for warranty service:
Just after the 20 hour break in period the generator failed to start. I immediately contacted All Power America and was promised a warranty repair. But after several follow up calls and faxes, I am still waiting for instructions on where to send it for repair. This has been going on for over two months.

Caveat Emptor:
When we first started Allpower America 6500 Watt Silent Diesel the first thing we noticed is that the lights flickered badly. The service department sent a new regulator module, but that didn't resolve the problem. While installing the new voltage regulator a damaged wire and several loose terminations were noted. The new regulator did not stop lights from flickering. After 28 hours the oil-level dropped suddenly and two engine crankcase bolts backed out against the alternator housing. One bolt could actually be loosened by hand. This product typifies "legendary Chinese quality" in spades. Save your money.
