Users like the fact that this power generator can power many medium-to-large household appliances and operate for many hours without a glitch before it has to be refueled. One customer, for example, found that she could run a large refrigerator, a full-sized stand up freezer, two lamps, two 32-inch LCD televisions, and two satellite boxes for 9 hours and a quarter tank was still available.

Although users have powered a wide variety of electrical equipment from the outputs of the APG3012 power generator, it is specifically stated in the manual to avoid running sensitive electronic devices such as PC tablets because impurities in the generated electrical waveforms can damage delicate components such as micro-controllers. The way to prevent this from happening other than not hooking up a sensitive devices to the APG3012 is to connect an electrical filter between the output of the generator and the input of the device. The job of the electrical filter is to remove those impurities.

The main criticism of the AGP3012 is about its lack of wheels. Having a weight of 93 pounds without fuel, users find it is difficult to transport and maneuver this machine. The addition of wheels is also discouraged by the fact that this modification will void the unit's 12 month parts warranty.

Because the reviews on the APG3012 are positive and customers, overall, express satisfaction with the quality and performance of this power generator by All Power America, purchasing an AGP3012 is likely low risk. It is also safe to conclude that the AGP3012 portable power generator is a high quality, durable machine that will last for many years and will continue to be of great service for a long time.
