Great Affordable Generator

Purchased this generator a year ago. Worked great right out of the box, powers my 30 amp camper trailer with ease and is very fuel efficient. I followed the instructions for storage and draining the carburetor, it still took 10 to 15 tries to get it started finally. After that, all was fine. Mine was missing the battery charger, parallel cable, tools, and tool bag.

Great camper generator

We used this generator for our County Fair week. Tried it on both gasoline and propane. We switched from gasoline to propane without power interruption. It was running our AC, microwave, coffee machine, ice maker and charging phones and still got almost a full 24 hours out of a tank of gas with a little less with propane. Propane was so much easier for my wife to switch tanks then refilling the gas tank and worked great for her.

Good generator

I did a test run connecting to my 50A inlet to feed the entire house. I'm using propane for this test. startup is a breeze, start bottom and remote all works. Even without the battery connected, to simulate a scenario when the battery is out of charge, I was able to start with the pull string. With all my 50+ LED lights, TV, Fridge on and furnace running simultaneously, it runs at ~25% load at about 1.5KW, add microwave the load goes up to 75% at 3.34KW. It can also power a single 1500W heater, or a hair drier on high, just need to remember they can only be used one at time, not all together. Overall I think it's a good generator for what I need it for and I would recommend this product.

Just set it up-great so far

I just set this up to run on LP. It started and ran great right away. One thing to note, no where in the start-up or any other guide does it mention you have to connect the battery. Took me a bit to figure that out. It's surprisingly quiet for such a large generator. It's heavy, but I love the pop-out handle. it makes moving it pretty easy.

Simple operation

The only operational issue i encountered was with the floating ground. This was easily remedied with a bonding plug. The package included the exact amount of oil neccessary, which is important as there is no other fill indicator. Generator fired up right away on propane and the remote works geat!

Love the Compact Design

We only have a shed, so appreciate the compact design! We also purchased this product as it runs on gas or propane fuel. Our trial run worked fantastic and so was our full-run! To have peace-of-mind in an event of a power failure is priceless!!!

Great investment

My husband bought this for me so that I wouldn't worry about our food spoiling in the event of a power outage as summer is coming. I'm so thankful. Now I can stock our freezer worry free

Just what we needed

Fit perfectly into a tight space I have and the remote start is excellent making it easier to leave in one spot and not worry about moving all the time.

Great inverter.

They are great little inverters, keep them all maintained. It's our little camping buddy. Shut it down late at night, start up about a half an hour when we get up in the morning. Make sure you turn off the power switch, the red button. Happy trails.

Excellent Portable Product for the Home!

The generator came well packaged and assembly/set-up was minimal & easy. Started up the first time using all three options. Not too loud as well. Well built and we're very happy with the purchase.
