A car without a muffler is an obnoxious thing. The same could be said for a generator, they have engines too. Your eardrums will thank the Generac GP5500 portable generator; the low-tone muffler muffles the noise output without inhibiting performance. The OHV engine is made specifically for generators, providing greater service than comparable engines. Since the generator operates outside, it is exposed to all kinds of dangers. Thankfully the outlets are reinforced by covers and circuit breakers, and the hardened steel tube frame protects against bumps and bruises. Moving the GP5500 from the garage to outside for operation is made much easier when utilizing the handles and never-flat wheels. Generac is the company for all-things generator.
