Quality product so far!
Purchased and had 12kw installed this summer. I purchased this unit due to its smaller size and rated quietness. I was happy with Norwall power systems. They were quick to respond to questions and shipping updates. I sub-ed out the electrical and propane installation to professionals and that went well. The weekly startup and test was easy to setup and configure myself. I would recommend to anyone investing in a standby generator, that you download and read all the literature prior to purchasing a system. As for Briggs and Stratton their support was very good as I had a couple of questions that they answered professionally and courteously over the phone. The product quality seems very good. I am glad I went with the Briggs as it is American made and not the Champion I was first looking at that is made in China. Nothing against Champion, as I have no experience. I just felt the domestic made unit was the better option for me. Also installed the cold weather kit as I live in the Northeast.
