COMPACT, TRULY PORTABLE, EFFICIENT GENERATOR

I purchased in the past month for home back up. Fortunately have not had a need yet. Lots of research (and education in Electronics) led me to this unit as an Inverter is the best option going for truly reliable power supply. I wish there was a 240 volt option (standard transfer switch plug vs TT-30R) of these smaller enclosed, Duel Fuel units. True that I would have to switch around available power, but it'd be nice to be able to power up a well pump, hot water heater, etc. Otherwise, this baby handles most all 120v needs in short term power outage so long as you pay attention to max power vs. nominal.

Quiet an Very well made

We have been waiting to upgrade our FullTime Generator for our cabin. This generator is what we've been waiting for! Dual Fuel, Inverter, remote start and adequate to power all household things! And, it's quieter than outlr smaller Honda! This is a great generator!

Learning Process - First Time Users

I just purchased this and tested it out as soon as it arrived. The instructions were helpful since I have never owned a generator before. The features are great: 3 outlets, USB ports, really loved the digital display, and the key fob for remote on/off is handy. Will be using it for our pop-up camper. Only downside we see right now are the tools that came with it. The screwdriver already broke. I would recommend having your own tools with you and not rely on the ones that came with the generator.

Outstanding product

initial setup was a breeze, with all of the necessary parts supplied - even a funnel for the oil fill. Propane start was instantaneous, giving steady power right away. Gas power took about 10 seconds to stabilize and then steady power. Remote start, push button start, even the pull string start worked right away (well, after 4 pulls). Great product and super quiet.

Excellent, quiet inverter generator

Great experience thus far, from packaging, to instructions, ease of use, and performance. Performed the initial setup, switched it on, pressed the start button, and it was purring along in about 3 seconds. Tested unit with multiple appliances, and performed like a champ. Still working on break-in period, but a pleasure thus far. Looking forward to installing as power fail-over for our home.

Great RV/Camping generator

If your on the fence about what generator to get for camping or your RV buy this one! It's super quiet and runs perfect! Running it is easy so anyone can do it. You know exactly how much fuel you have left, how much power your using and run time! Have the dual fuel is awesome piece of mind or if your worried about having a gas can around then you can use propane. This is awesome unit and I would definitely buy again.

So far its working well

Did my first oil change at 3 hrs and again at 8 hrs. I was shocked at how much metal was in the first oil change. There were large shavings, and a ton of glitter. Still glitter in the second. I will change it again at 15hrs. Manual does not clearly state break-in time, but says change oil after first 25hrs and do not exceed 50% load during break-in. Also the batteries for the remote came dead and the regulator came with rusted screws and corroded aluminum. After replacing the batteries in the remote, its a great feature to have. I have not put any gasoline in mine yet and plan on using propane exclusively. I live at 4000ft and use this at altitudes slightly higher. A high altitude carb kit is required for altitudes above 5000ft (its just a jet kit). Not sure if this applies to propane operation.

Does the work

This is a great generator. Runs my 24 foot bumper pull trailer 30 amp 120 volt just fine. Love the digital readout for load conditions. Also love the load indicator to tell you the how hard the generator is working. Ran my generator on propane right out of the box. Added the correct amount of oil using the supplied screw in funnel and used the key fob to start. Started right up. The extendable handle for moving the generator around is a great bonus. The generator also has two very sturdy handles for easy lifting. I highly recommend this generator for anyone who needs 120 volt power.

All The Features In A Compact Generator

Bought this little power house of a generator for those emergencies that tend to pop up. Love the dual source of fuel feature (propane or gasoline). It has two outlets, but you can also plug in another extension cord to the 30-amp service. I also bought the 25-foot 30-amp 125-volt fan-style generator extension cord which allows me to drop three 15-amp extension cords off that. Perfect to keep the frig and freezer running, plus a few other appliances as needed like a coffee pot, your PC, and printer. It also has a pair of USB ports for all you gadget items like phones, tablets, etc.

Awesome!

This is our 1st generator and I couldn't be happier with my purchase so far. Super easy to setup (I'm using Propane) and starting the unit couldn't be any easier than pushing a button! Much quieter than I expected which is another plus. Plan on building it a small generator shed and hooking it up to a 6 circuit transfer panel in the garage in case the next ice storm causes us issues. Now I may never loose power again not that I finally have a generator but that's perfectly ok with me.
