Verified Purchase

Great generator!

Just got back from camping and took this generator for the first time. I did the break in procedure and it ran 3 full size (25ft plus) RV's for 2.5 days non-stop and it never skipped a beat and never bogged down. Very pleased with this purchase. Its not very loud, especially for how big of a unit this is, but it is heavy. Definitely recommend 2 people to lift it into a truck or trailer. Overall, completely satisfied with the purchase and shipping from Sam's club and the product itself.

Great generator for the price

Bought this when we had power outage. Very easy and quick to set up out of the box. Stared on the first pull. Was able to run my well, water heater, fridge, freezer, coffee maker, 1100 watt microwave and the kids played the Xbox. Not all at once but most of it. I am very impressed with this generator.

Great Value, well built

I bought this to replace a 28 year old generator that finally failed. I had been looking at several and for the value, this is a good little machine. My dad had been using an Black Max 6500 Watt machine for about five years without any trouble, so when Sams had this one at the great price I went ahead and got it. Comes mostly assembled, only have to install the wheels, add the oil that comes with it and add gas. Started on the third pull, then the first pull every time after that. I love that it has a 6 gallon fuel tank.
