Happy camper

I have used this generator only briefly, but what a relief to have so much power so easily. The ease of a pull-start is surpassed only by the ease of a remote-start. It is quiet and smooth running. As I am using only propane, I can comfortably carry it behind the driver's seat with no fear of gasoline odor or flammability. At 104 lbs, it is 30 lbs lighter than my other generator, hence, it is much easier to load it into the truck cabin. Great product.

Great Product

Pulled it out of the box followed the directions and was utilizing the generator in just a few minutes. Was very impressed with how quiet the generator was with a load on it. Also the dealer insured fuel-line gasket was shipped properly not to loose. Everything needed to start the unit was in the box with great start-up directions.

Nice Job!

I bought this from Amazon and it came quickly. I opened up all access points and checked it over for loose wires or damage in shipping, found nothing wrong and added the oil. I haven't had any outages since it came, but I ran it for two hours, on gas and on propane, and it ran well, powering a portable heater at different loads. I am a little concerned about draining the oil when the time comes. The manual that came with the generator said to tip the generator to one side with the fill plug out and let it drain back out. That seems like it will get all over the inside of the case. The online manual suggests that there is a small bolt to remove just above the rubber plug in the bottom. That may be better. Time will tell.... Anyway, I am ready for our next power outage.

Easy setup - Works 1st time

Bought this for emergency use during power outages. It was very easy to setup & everything worked perfectly straight out of the box. I plan to run this on propane only & couldn't be happier with purchase after much research. Very quiet operation is great for overnight operation

What buy another

Sweewt, all around start up and operation. No issues moving around and enough watts to support our camper. Only issue was the battery strap was off and I was unable to get the to hook and stay on on both sides. Did not apprear that that was any latch or hook there to connect.

Awesome product at a great price

With rolling blackouts expected in California due to the severe drought we are having. I picked up this generate to keep it on hand just in case we how a brownout. So far I ran a few good tests with it and it way better and quieter than I was expecting. I'm very pleased with the product and over-all performance it provides. I'm planning on having a transfer swatch added to the house to make this generator setup a fast hookup.

Easy Setup and Quiet

Fuel, Oil and connect the battery. Fired up on 2nd pull. Checked remote start and push button, both started it up immediately. Quick load test from my spare fridge and everything is looking and sounding great. No real run time to speak of just yet that's the only reason for 4 out 5 stars. Recommend keeping the oil container for future service.

Quite and powerful

Great generator, fired right up, started breaking it in last night. Really surprised by how quiet it runs, this will be the perfect companion on our boondocking trips! Have not tried propane yet but am excited to have the option. Perfect for our RV

Great Value for the Money

The generator was easy to set up, just read and follow the directions. I use lp gas and the start up was great. Runs everything I wanted to power and I just have no complaints. It's a great product and it seems well built. It was easy to lift into the back of my pickup and the wheels are a bonus. Be sure to check the oil and fill to the fill line, not the whole quart provided.

Easy Setup - Easy to move around

Received the product a week ago and found it very easy to setup and use. I love options and this generator has them. Options for fuel, options on how to start, options on how to transport. And I love easy. As this was the first generator I've ever used and I'm far from handy, I was very happy and the ease of setting this up. I did not put enough in at first so the generator was shutting down right after start up. The safety feature worked ;) The one thing I though could be made easier was the small oil measuring stick. I found it difficult to read the levels.
