Saeco Magic Cappuccino Espresso and Cappuccino Machine Review


SaecoMagicCappuccinoEspressoandCappuccinoMachine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a really good machine for those who want some seriously good espresso but can't quite bring themselves to spend 800 dollars+ for a fully automatic machine.It heats up quickly and produces FANTASTIC espresso with thick crema.Only a few minor problems:
Frothing milk is difficult- but if you only drink espresso its well worth it.
Plastic Case- I love metal.
Pump- works great, but its a *tad* noisy (only a tad)
Instructions- worthless.Like italian translated to japanese translated to farsi translated to english.But easy to use.
Dont pass this great great machine by!Im so happy and caffeinated now its like a different person.

If you have any questions about he pool you can call Intex from Monday to Friday, give it a little time, but you will reach a live customer/product person to answer all your questions. Out the box you can tell the product/all the parts are made from first class materials and workmanship. If you can go for the Intex 2500 GPH water pump, and the
Chlorinator(it REALLY does work - GREAT)make the purchase,it makes a world of a difference. Please be careful about the chlorinator try and find POOL salt, ask around,but try and not go for regular salt, the pool salt seems to be the best. P.S. - the Intex pool night light is awesome, it maybe a little expensive after you add on the other items, but it does make the pool look beatiful at nigth, and give you more time to enjoy uor your.

Maytag : MFF2558VEM Refrigerator Review


Maytag:MFF2558VEMRefrigerator
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this refrigerator. I have owned it for a year and a half (with no problems). Below is my opinion based on each feature:

1. French Doors. I love them. THe left door has a flap that sort of flattens out as you close the door to seal against the right door.Because of the little flap, the right crisper drawer does not pull all the way out if the left door is closed. Alternatively, you CAN keep the right door closed and pull the left crisper drawer all the way out. Anyhow I usually end up opening both doors when i go to the fridge, so it will take 2 hands, but i still love the french door look.

2. Inside water dispenser. Love that too. THe only bad design is the button to get the water is a few inches above the actual dispenser. it is difficult for me to get a glass of water with one hand; i usually hold the glass with one hand and press the button with the other. But i do like this design much better than the 'outside of the door' water dispenser; i think this fridge has a cleaner look. I didn't even notice the inside water dispenser at first, it takes up VERY LITTLE room which is great!

3. Drawer freezer. I like it enough for what I have (bachelorette food like hot pockets and lean cuisines). I expected it to hold a bit more than it really does. I do like the fact that it's wire baskets that hold my food rather than a solid surface; sorta eliminates cleaning.THe reason i don't TOTALLY love this freezer is simply because if I had a bowl of liquid, i would have to be VERY CAREFUL to freeze it (such as an extra water bowl for my dog). Anything you want to be in the freezer will need to move/slide to get it in there - i have to only fill the bowl 1/2 full of water or else it will spill when i close the freezer door.

4. Adjustable "no spill" shelves. These are great. Everything is adjustable which is perfect for me. I adjust them quite a bit actually. Also there is a small lip on each shelf so if something leaks, it won't drip down the back wall of the fridge. I like this idea. Also the shelves pull out a few inches in case you have something in the back you need to reach.

Overall this is a great fridge. It also beeps after a few minutes if you accidently don't close a door all the way. Temperature of both the fridge and freezer are displayed at the top inside of the fridge. Very easy/intiutive to adjust. Those small flaws listed above are very easy for me to live with; i would buy this refrigerator again. And, i love the stainless steel look!

Natural Chemistry 05235 2-Liter Pool Perfect Concentrate and Phos Free Pool Cleaner Review


NaturalChemistry052352-LiterPoolPerfectConcentrateandPhosFreePoolCleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We tried "Pool Perfect with Phos Free" this year for the first time.We've had this pool for 30 years and it's NEVER BEEN THIS CLEAR! No doubt that Phos Free deserves much of the credit.

We also installed a Hayward/ Gold Line chlorine generator this year.(Hopefully I will find time to review that product too).That may deserve some of the credit.We like that product too, but if I had to choose which product to try, I would try the phos-free first.Why?Because it does not require an up-front capital investment, nor installation.You just add to your pool.

Let me tell you about our experience and what we've learned.

A clear understanding of how this product works will help you succeed with it.You pour a small amount of Phos-Free in your skimmer.It scavenges phosphorus from the water so that algae has no phosphorus.

Why phosphorus?Phosphorus is one of the essential macro-nutrients that plants need.That's why they put phosphorus in fertilizer.If you buy 5-10-5 fertilizer, it's got 10% phosphorus; the middle number refers to the amount of phosphorus.Somebody figured out that phosphorus is the easiest nutrient to remove - and starve the algae - and they created PhosFree to do the job.Their web site [...] has a lot of info about this. I found the web site to be informative and credible.I majored in chemistry in college so I'm pretty well prepared to judge its credibility.

Even some pool professionals don't understand this product.PhosFree can't kill algae. It can only prevent it from growing. Some pool guys told me that they had tried a phosphate scavenger once in a pool that was green, green, green, and chlorine would not fix it.They tried their brand of phosphate scavenger (not Phos Free) and the pool was still green.They might have had more success if they understood phosphate scavengers. They used a phosphate test kit and they swore that there was no phosphorus in the pool (the test kit can detect as little as 100 parts per BILLION).They did not understand that the phosphorus was already in the algae.So if you can vacuum away any algae (or leaves) before you start, that will help.Leaves (or grass, etc) can release phosphorus and other nutrients as they decay, feeding the algae.

The pool guys also might have had more success if they had used enzymes.This product also includes an enzyme that they call PoolPerfect. It breaks down organic matter, including dead algae, releasing the phosphate so that the PhosFree can scavenge it up.The pool guys might have had more success if they had used this combination product.

How did I use it?I bought a phosphorus test kit to monitor phosphorus levels so I could tell what's going on.I learned a lot.You can do this too, or you can just add a little bit every week.I noticed that as it scavenges phosphorus, it also raises the pressure in the sand filter.So I guess that the phosphorus is captured in the sand filter until it ultimately gets backwashed down the drain.Using PhosFree I could keep the phosphorus below 100 ppb.The aforementioned web site states that algae cannot divide with less than 125 ppb of phosphate in the water.

I have read everything on their web site [...].I've used the product for a full season, and our pool is CLEARER THAN EVER, even though we're using less chlorine, and we stopped using other algaecide completely.We like having less of that other junk in the water.

What about cost?We found that a maintenance dose of 4 to 8 ounces per week is sufficient for our 25,000 gallon pool.So a two liter bottle of "PoolPerfect plus PhosFree" lasted us more than 8 weeks.That comes down to about$5.00 per week or about $100 for the pool season.But we're saving money by using less chlorine, less algaecide, and running the filter for fewer hours per day.We like the fact that we don't have to handle as much chlorine and we've reduced our environmental impact.And we're using the pool more.

We'll definitely be using this product again next year.

Addendum (August 2010):Now in our third season using this product.Still happy with it.Still recommending it to friends.One thing that I've learned:use a paint stirrer stick.The phosphate scavenger settles to the bottom of the jug.Shaking doesn't stir the stuff off of the bottom because it makes too much foam.So I use a paint stirrer stick - like they give you when you buy a can of paint.This works well to stir the stuff from the bottom of the jug.Also:next year I plan to try a related product called Pool First Aid when I open the pool.One last thing: I called their tech support line and found them to be competent and helpful.

Average Reviews:

Having been sorely disappointed with the Cuisinart Grind & Brew, I moved on to the Capresso MT500.I have not been disappointed.
Aside from being a superior coffee maker, the MT500 is a sleek, elegant appliance that looks great on any kitchen counter.
The keypad is simple and easy to use, and includes a digital clock for 24-hour programmability (a key must-have for me).The unit has a 3-5 cup small batch setting for fast and efficient brewing of smaller quantities (another must-have for me).
Perhaps most importantly, the unit brews very satisfactorily hot coffee, unlike the Grind & Brew, which I found luke warm (less than 170F).The thermal carafe does an excellent job of keeping unused coffee hot, particularly when you pre-heat it with hot water.
My only criticism would be that fill-level is inconveniently positioned and somewhat hard to read.
All in all, I'm very pleased with every aspect of the MT500.

Capresso 153.04 C3000 Automatic Coffee and Espresso Center, with Pump-Auto Cappuccino System Review


Capresso153.04C3000AutomaticCoffeeandEspressoCenter,withPump-AutoCappuccinoSystem
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have owned several home espresso machines and this is by far the best one ever.The ability to froth milk automatically just before or just after making coffee or espresso is unique. In most other units it's necessary to purge the water system before steaming milk and then purging it again to regain brewing temperature. In this unit you just press the button and frothed milk foams out into your cup, and is pre-programmed to stop at the right moment.The milk unit can be removed and stored in a refrigerator and the parts are easy to clean. It even tells you when to run a cleaning or decalcifying session. Programable in English and several European languages. It's also easy to make hot cocoa by frothing chocolate milk. Electronic controls dose out the amount of coffee or espresso from a short shot of espresso (single or doppio) to a mug of coffee. It turns itself on and off and pre-measures the coffee you grind and the strength of your coffee. This is an electronic wizard that does lots more than brew a great cup of coffee. This is an ideal machine for an office or a household with a big entertainment kitchen.

Capresso 10-Cup Coffee/Cappuccino Makers Review


Capresso10-CupCoffee/CappuccinoMakers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After spending a few weeks researching various coffee makers and reading numerous reviews and online user reports, I settled on the Capresso CoffeeTEC due to its features and the theory behind how it brews coffee - reduced aeration to hold flavor (vacuum sealed carafe), no burner to bake the bean and increase acidity, and 190+ degree water dispensed into the brewing basket, which is very hot for a coffee maker!
I have to admit, I was nervous.I saw two general complaints that were common from online user reports.1) The carafe did not maintain the water temperature, and 2) the frother ceased to work.A few comments on these:
Thermal carafe: I have no clue how anyone can be having a problem with this carafe, unless there's a problem with the heat of the water entering the carafe or in how they're storing the coffee after it brews (like, in the refrigerator, perhaps).
I did some tests on the carafe after getting my CoffeeTEC.The carafe was at room temperature (not pre-heated, as some suggest) when doing this test.Immediately after brewing straight water with the carafe in the closed position, I measured the water temperature at 189.3f using a digital thermometer.I closed the carafe and let it sit for exactly one hour then measured the water at 182.1f, a drop of only about 7f, which is fantastic!Now, I also brewed a full pot of straight water on my now-replaced Mr. Coffee, which sat on a hot burner during the brew process.After brewing, the water temperature was exactly 178f.So, after one hour in the thermal carafe with no burner contact, the Capresso water was hotter than the Mr. Coffee immediately after brewing.Very impressive results!
Frothing problem: I have noticed that the plastic pieces that connect the milk container to the frother do have to be sealed properly for frothing to work. Also, it is necessary to clean the items after frothing; a very simple and quick process.Occasionally my unit will not froth immediately even though the steam would blast in an attempt to froth.This has been very easy to solve.After turning the steam on, I simply press the milk container tightly against the plastic piece that connects it to the frothing nipple.Don't worry if you don't understand this description.You have to own the unit to know the pieces I'm discussing.Just understand that with some minor manual jostling, the milk will flow and froth wonderfully!
Now, as for my assessment of this coffee maker... it is the best coffee maker I have ever owned!I'm knocked-out by the quality of brew I'm getting.Just as good if not better than commercial coffee houses, because I can make it to my specifications!
A few comments on this though... it took a few weeks for me to figure out exactly how to use this coffee maker so it brews to my liking.When I brewed my first cup, I didn't care for it.Keep in mind, this unit brews water quickly through the grind.It extracts flavor and aroma through heat, not prolonged water contact with the bean.As a result, you will have to use more coffee than most coffee makers.
As an example, I used to measure one rounded tablespoon of beans (pre-ground) for every two 5oz cups, then I'd add one extra tablespoon for added body.So, for 20oz of coffee, I'd use three tablespoons of beans.With this coffee maker, I've learned I need to use one tablespoon for each 5oz cup plus one extra for added body.So, for the same 20oz pot of coffee, I use five tablespoons of beans.
Also, the other detail I discovered is, it was necessary to grind the beans finer than I had before.I've started grinding the beans on the Espresso setting of my grinder rather than the automatic drip setting.This made a huge difference on the strength and flavor of the coffee.
So, keep in mind you'll want to play with the quantity and fineness of grind.If you use canned grinds, you have much less leeway.You'll just have to add much more grind, but be careful!Don't add too much or it will overflow the basket.Always adhere to the maximum grind amount Capresso recommends in the documentation.
The coffee maker comes with a gold filter.You may or may not like using the filter; I elected not to use it.The gold filter allows more oil and particulates into the coffee.Some like this; others don't.It makes for an oilier, cloudier brew.Using paper filters, more of the fine particles are filtered out and much of the oil is kept from leaching into the carafe.The coffee is cleaner, clearer and not murky.I prefer using paper, but the preference is highly individualistic.I'd suggest running some tests and decide for yourself.
In the end, I find the coffee to be superb!This coffee maker is a fine-tuned piece of equipment that responds to the subtlest of changes you impart on the brewing process.Change the fineness of the grind or the quantity of beans used and you'll experience a noticeable difference in the outcome of the brew.After I determined the right balance that suits my pallet, all I can say is, "Wow!"The flavor and body is nutty, winy and full, the aftertaste smooth and non-acidic, and the aroma outstanding!I highly recommend this coffee maker.
But, plan to make a number of pots when you first get it with the understanding that many of those pots will probably go down the drain.It'll take some test runs to determine the quantity of coffee you'll want to use, the fineness of grind, and which filter to use.With due diligence, you'll have a splendid coffee maker from which you'll enjoy each day's coffee for years to come, custom made specifically towards your taste.
So, read the other reviews for what they are and keep in mind some of my comments.In my experience, many of the complaints reflect a user who hasn't experimented with the grind quantity and fineness, and hasn't been adventurous enough to work the "piping" when frothing.

Red Sea Max 130D Plug & Play Coral Reef System 34 Gallon Aquarium w/ Stand & Starter Kit - Black Review


RedSeaMax130DPlug&PlayCoralReefSystem34GallonAquariumw/Stand&StarterKit-Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This review is after four months into the project. After the oooos and aaahs of right out of the box have faded into the background.

This is a 34 Gal tank

Setup was pretty straight forward. Don't be a jock, have someone help you get the tank into position since it's glass. The tank I bought had the starter kit included. A $129.00 option. Free is a good thing. If it's not included, don't bother buying it. Some of the test kits red sea puts out are not all they repeatable.

Don't expect the skimmer to work on turn on. It really does take some time to break in, and for you to learn how to tweak it to the level that you want it to work at. I have to admit that fitting a skimmer, filter and pump system into the area that they did is Dammed impressive, especially since it actually works. The only pain in the butt I see is that to replace the bio and carbon filter, you need to pull both of the pumps out to do it. Not a hard job... just a pain.

Many reviews I've read say that there is not enough flow in the tank. That may be true with the older model, but with the 130D that is not the issue. I put some screen over the output of one of the pumps to cut the flow down a bit. With that said..... there may be some owners who think that there should be proper flow through the tank with a rock in front of the pump outputs.

The instructions are good, everything you need to do the setup and cycling of the tank are explained. It even tells you when to add your cleaner crew, corals and fish. I added the crew when they said to, but waited a two months longer to add the soft corals. Chemical balance in your tank really is important. Don't go overboard. Get a little frag and see how it goes. If the water quality isn't as good as you think it is your only out 10 bucks. Money isn't the point.... My emerald crab ate one of my hermit crabs because I screwed up on the feeding and I felt terrible.
This is a good entry tank, Mainly because it takes a little more work than the larger tanks. With thought, patients, some research and an eye for detail, anyone can have a god looking tank.

Now after four months of testing water, water changes, the tank looks good. Eight, soft corals, sixteen hermits, ten snails, two emerald crabs, one anenomie. and a cleaner shrimp. are doing fine.

Product Description:
Red Sea Max 130D - The Complete 34 Gallon Coral Reef SystemRed Sea is pleased to introduce the new Max 130D. The 130D includes numerous significant upgrades and improvements from the original Max 130, and reflects feedback received from thousands of Max owners, dealers and distributors since the original launch almost 2 years ago. You will readily appreciate the enhanced features of this new Max 130D over the original version, and the entire system is now easier to use, requires less maintenance and will give even higher performance levels. The following key elements differentiate the Max Coral Reef System from other marine aquariums: ?Reef Spec? Lighting, Filtration, Skimming and Circulation: Extensive research and development carried out in our laboratories clearly shows that in order to sustain delicate hard corals such as SPS species, it is essential to meet certain criteria. This is especially true when we remember that many Max aquariums may be purchased by less experienced hobbyists. Protein Skimming, Filtration & Circulation: Delivering reef spec performance of 3x per hour aquarium volume circulation, and more than a 3:1 water to air ratio, the Turbo injected protein skimmer now has a foam adjustment feature which makes it even easier to use over a wide range of water conditions. The filtration system has been improved to ensure less water flow restrictions. A full sized, adjustable surface skimmer pulls water from the top of the aquarium where most waste collects. This upgrade reduces maintenance and aids water flow through the filter, making air bubble release far less prevalent. New biological media, improved media bags and an upgraded foam filter ensures water flows more freely through the entire filter chamber. The 130D includes a fittings accessory kit which makes it simple to add a chiller, external filter etc. Lighting: Reef Spec lighting of 4watts per gallon is controlled by a high quality timer and consists of upgraded twin 55w T5 Power C

Frigidaire FAD704TDD 70-Pint Dehumidifier, White Review


FrigidaireFAD704TDD70-PintDehumidifier,White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using this dehumidifier for about 2 weeks now.I guess it is a brand new model for this year and that is why I am the first review.I figured that last years model had good reviews so this years model can't be too bad.Plus I've had great luck with our 16 year old Frigidaire refrigerator so they must know compressors well.

Unit was boxed very well and packaged acceptally from Amazon.You cut the plastic straps off and lift off the box exterior from the base.You can then pick up the unit from the handle on top.It is a plastic handle but doesn't feel fragile when you lift it.It is pretty heavy, but wasn't a problem for me to carry downstairs to my garage.

Setup was easy if I remember correctly.Just pull off some tape in a couple of places and plug in the cord.I had it run on continuous for several days but have now dropped it down to keeping it at 35 or 40 percent.It has digital pushbutton controls which I haven't really explored too much.There is a 2 digit numeric display which I think shows the set value and after a moment the current humidity that it is seeing.I'd have to check the manual on that for sure though.That is the way it acted.

I current have it in a garage that is not very warm.It has been into the upper 30's and 40's there the past couple of weeks.I needed this dehumidifier out there to keep a bunch of woodworking tools from rusting.I drive the car into the garage and all of the snow drips off of it and onto the concrete.I was worried about the humidity level in there even in the winter.The equipment I have out there is worth too much to have it rust!

It is really sucking the moisture out of the air though.After about 5 days of running, I had a full bucket.It holds a lot of water.The bucket is easy to remove from the unit.It has a handle to carry it with.There isn't really a good spout on the bucket to pour it out of though - at least I haven't found a corner that works well yet.I poured the water down the floor drain and it kind of splashes a bit.

There is a way to hook a threaded garden hose up to the unit so you can just dump the water into a floor drain or wherever.

That is probably my biggest gripe is that they should of included a small 2-4 foot hose for that already.I don't want to go buy some 25 foot garden hose and cut it off to what I need.I'm going to see if I can buy a threaded end and basically make my own out of some tubing or something. I don't want to have to dump the bucket every few days and since I have a floor drain right there, that is the way I would operate it.Of course if you are using this in your house without access to an easy drain, you'll have to remove the bucket and maybe dump it in a bathtub or something.

I would imagine that as soon as the humidity gets here this summer, this unit will really be working hard.Of course opening the garage doors a couple times of day will really let the humidity back in but it will just have to pull it back out.

One more thing - I could NOT find this specific unit listed on any Frigidaire websites which kind of worried me that it is some off-model unit or something.I think Amazon just probably has access to selling it and have it listed before Frigidaire actually has it listed up on their website.

SXS - "FVG" SERIES, SPILLGRD, ADJ DOOR BINS, IN GRILL PUR FLTR REFRIGERATORS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We purchased a new home several months ago and upgraded to a Whirlpool stainless steel appliance package and this Refrigerator came in the set. I love the stainless steel and I think it really adds a lot to the appearance of our home. Not to mention that it's a lot easier to clean but you do have to clean it more often because every little fingerprint shows. You can clean it with any type of cleaner that's non-abrasive but stainless steel cleaner really works the best in my opinion. I think the size of it is about average. For our family of four it wasn't enough freezer space and we ended up getting a large chest freezer for extra space. There is plenty enough room in the refrigerator. I like that it has a built in PUR water filter that is built in to the grill of the unit and it is so very simple to change. It also has a meter inside the door that tells you when to change the filter. It will light up yellow to warn you that the filter will need changed soon and then it will turn red when it's time to replace the filter. The filter seems to last a pretty long time because ours is still green and we have been using it for over 5 months. One other thing you might want to know, the front is stainless steel but the sides are black.

15' x 48" Easy Set Above Ground Swimming Pool Review

(More customer reviews)
Got this thing delivered, but stalled a week on setting it up because I had read the reviews that say you have to put it on a "completely level surface".Kids and wife got tired of waiting so I just set it up.We don't live on a slope or anything, but the ground isn't completely level, and the pool is fine.I don't know if it will last until next summer, but so far it's been wonderful!The cover, which I also hesitated to use after reading complaints is just fine also.I love this thing!!Only caveat I can offer is that the width is 15 feet at the bottom, about 12 feet at the top, and at max depth the water only goes to 41 inches, not 48.These two things have effected my enjoyment absolutely NONE.

KitchenAid Architect Series II KFIS25XVMS 36 24.9 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator - Stainless St Review

Average Reviews:

This refrigerator replaced one of those double door refrigerators that had 5 freezer shelves which were too narrow to accomodate frozen pizzas or a 22 lb turkey. I hated the old fridge. It looked nice, but was pretty useless and impractical.
My new Kitchenaid refrigerator/freezer is great. Food items are clearly visible and there is plenty of storage space on both doors that allow for varied heigths depending on your needs. Electronic controls allows for consistent temp. Vegetable and fruit storage is accomodated with large bins and coldcuts and cheeses have their own storage drawers. There is an alarm that alerts you if the doors are not properly closed and a constant readout indicating temperature. A water dispenser is mounted on an exterior door which I don't use much.
The lower mounted freezer has two deep baskets that hold pretty much everything with an adjustable slide for more efficient storage.
The stainless steel exterior glistens and offers a lot of flexibility re: home decor. The exterior does require a weekly cleaning with stainless cleaner.
I like the quality, performance, and appearance and bought as second similar unit without the water dispenser.

Generac Guardian Series 5501 8,000 Watt Air Cooled Propane/Natural Gas Powered Home Automatic Standby Generator With Transfer Switch (CARB Compliant) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I do have the previous model, what is the same thing but a different "box" I did have it 2 day before Katrina and here in Hollywood we did have-it Purdy good.Well of course I did not have a perfect installation but everything got hock-up in less the 8 hours.This kit is perfect.The automatic switch box makes the generator kick-in in 30 seconds from a power outage, and switch back-in by itself.I did select this unit because I have an AC who draw 13 amps a 230 1 ph. and all the light, PCs, Tv and small thing draw no more than 2 Amps a 115v.No hot water or oven.And I can't have the cafe going with the toaster Oh well I can have-it all because I'm cheap...

I didn't want to be independent from the gas company, and then I did install a liquid propane system.When Wilma past-by I did run the unit almost 24 hrs a day and I did consume about 75 to 100# of LP a day what is expensive but cheaper then gas and you can store-it for a long theme.Also Propane can be find faster than gas, because gas station need electricity...

For the noise level, I didn't have any complaints from Nabors or if I'm in one room away I can barely hear-it.The control is very simple.Spot the breaker you want to be cover, disconnect-it and connect the wires to the new circuit.It's that easy.

The only thing you will need is a battery, oil, a base to install it, gas line (1" pipe minimum) and regulator.The unit is complete by itself, easy to install, be careful it's 800#, a bit heavy for one guy... Read the book it's short and simple, the set-up takes a minute, the governor is a bit tutchy to adjust especially when there a full load starts.For the maintenance, I change the oil, oil filter and the air filter one a year keep an eye on the gas and that-it.Notice the unit cover is painted with a good quality cook enamels, I have it expose to the sun and rain, after 3 years it look like new still.

To be on a safe side have an electrician doing the electric system and the gas Co. to do the line work.And for not a arm and a leg you will be sleeping with peace and comfort.

PS Sorry for my french, I'm a handy man more then a writer...

Product Description:
Experience fast-acting, automatic protection from power loss with the Generac Guardian Series 5501 8,000 / 7,000 Watt Air-Cooled Propane/Natural Gas Powered Automatic Standby Generator with Steel Enclosure. Ideal for home use, this generator powers up automatically and within seconds of a power outage without the need for any manual startup. Without any buttons to push or cords to plug in, an automatic standby generator starts up by itself even when you're away! Featuring easy installation, it comes pre-wired and packaged with virtually everything necessary to connect to your home's electrical system and existing LP or natural gas fuel supply, so you can be protected the next time the lights go out.




A 410cc Generac OHVI® Engine delivers reliable performance with its long-life design. View larger.

Standby generators power up automatically within seconds of a power outage to keep your family safe and comfortable. View larger.

This powerful generator comes pre-wired and equipped with the necessary installation gear. View larger. Hands-Free Automatic Operation
When the power goes out, this generator eliminates the trouble of dealing with a fuse box in a dark basement or going outside in a storm to start a portable generator. After all LP or natural gas and electrical connections are completed, the Generac 5501 is ready to run 24/7 and requires absolutely no manual operation, no fueling, and no extension cords. The generator responds within seconds of power outages, so inconveniences like heat or air conditioning loss and burst pipes or spoiled food are quickly avoided.


Initial setup is easy. The generator arrives pre-wired and equipped with the necessary installation gear: an 8-circuit transfer switch (NEMA 1, indoor-rated only), pre-wired conduits, an outdoor connection box, a flexible fuel line pigtail, and a composite mounting pad. (Additional items and tools may be needed to complete the installation to meet local codes. Consult a licensed professional for further details.)


The unit can be programmed to perform a weekly exercise at the time of your choice, so it will be ready for continuous and reliable operation on a moment's notice.


Superior Technology for Secure Output, Quiet Operation, and Durability
Thanks to Generac's exclusive True Power Technology, this generator provides clean, continuous power, so sensitive electronics and microchip appliances like laptops and HVAC equipment can be operated without the worry that unexpected power surges bring. The ultra-quiet design means that noise levels during self-tests are 1/3 quieter than portable generators, so your daily routine is unaffected.


The generator's corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel enclosure is protected by Generac's proprietary RhinoCoat system--a unique process that binds the paint to the metal surface for a long-lasting, durable finish. This allows the generator to sit outdoors and withstand harsh weather conditions without developing an unsightly appearance.


Like all Generac generators, this model is UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listed for safety.


Rugged, Worry-Free Design
The generator features the 410cc Generac OHVI® Engine, an exclusive air-cooled generator engine with a high-performance design that can accommodate large electrical loads. The engine optimizes power to respond swiftly to changing conditions. To add to your peace of mind, the engine requires routine maintenance only once every two years, or after 200 hours of use.


This Generac generator meets CARB requirements. It requires a Group 26R 12-volt minimum 350 CCA battery (sold separately).


What's in the Box
Generac Guardian Series 5501 8,000 / 7,000 Watt (LP/NG) Automatic Standby Steel Generator (48- by 24- by 29-inches); 100 Amp NEMA 1 automatic transfer switch with 8-circuit load center; 30-foot, 5-foot, and 2-foot pre-wired conduits; outdoor connection box; 1-foot flexible fuel line pigtail; composite mounting pad; installation guide and owner's manual.

This is my second time buying this type pool.I owned the 20'x12'x4' previously and it lasted 3 years.It would've lasted longer but the rim got ruined after a chemical shower from the refineries.It ate at the rim.I invested this time in the 24' oval and added the salt water system and the 4000 gal. pump.If you're going to buy this pool... I would definitely recommend spending the extra money and buying both the salt water system and this 4000 gal pump filter.It will save you an incredible amout of money and time keeping this pool clean.The suction on the pump is amazing and makes vacuuming a breeze.The water is chrystal clear all the time and doesn't burn your eyes with all that chlorine.Salt is so much cheaper and you can find it at Lowes.The pump actually turns itself on and only runs for 4 hours a day.I highly recommend this system and pool to anyone who is looking for an above ground.
