Very quiet

I finally was able to get this generator on 6/17/21. It has been on backorder for a while. So far so good I ran 10 minutes on gasoline and another 10 minutes on propane. I am going to use Rec fuel plus add Marine stable. Doing everything I can do to ensure no water in the gas. And stabilization of the gas so it will last longer. Note the owner's manual says to dump in the whole container of oil which is .63 quarts. Do not do it because it will overfill. My estimates are that it's probably at about.55 quarts. After the break-in oil because I live in Southwest Florida I am going to follow the recommendation of stepping up to an oil way to 15 w40 because we are pretty much always over 80 degrees in Florida. Also I am a believer in the manual States you can use synthetic. The push button start works great and the auto start on the fob works great. It came packaged well with no damage. This will be used strictly for our Villa for power outages and for the risk of hurricanes. For maintenance I plan to run once a month for at least 20 minutes under load

Small Business Necessity

We bought this to assure our Small Business (SB) can stay in business! Our SB can now continue to support our nationwide customers during any local power outage. EASY to set-up, power-up, use, and maintain at peak performance for our office, without power surges that could damage our electronics. A true Customer Saver.

love the quick start

two of us bought this unit after seeing several of our neighbors using it. have had a couple issues getting propane started but gasoline works great.Love the quick start and am setting it up in a secure place. I needed 2200 watts and my little honda wasn't handling the load. now am feeling real good about the whole house using the power. wish it was a little quieter but can live with it.

Quiet and Versatile Generator

Purchased to power a travel trailer and in the event of power outages. Box was shipped well protected and setup was straightforward. Started on propane and ran perfectly out of the box. Retractable handle is very useful for moving around the house and campsites. Very happy with my purchased so far and look forward to using this for years to come.

good insurance

I have not used this yet under a big load but it seems like it will work, it appears to be well protected against the weather but in the manual it says to keep it out of the rain and snow. That's when I will need it most so maybe it was not a good choice, I'll find out.

seems like a good unit

Have not used it yet. It started easy and runs well. Waiting for the electrician to tie it into the house panel. Seems well built, quiet, good quality. Smaller and quieter than expected. Only issue was the instructions say to add the entire bottle of oil that came with it. However mine already had a small amount of oil in it (pretesting?) so it overflowed and caused a mess. I feel good about this purchase so far.

Love the remote start!!!

Going out this week on our first boondocking and (use). Checked all out and it is purring like a cat. No effort to start and starts fast. Can't believe how quiet this is. Love the gauge that lets us know how much time we have left on fuel. Plug outlet for 30a and will furnish all our needs for power. I let my wife start it....she loves it!!! Great piece of equipment.

Happy Camper

I bought this to power up our camper, this is our first camper, to include first owned generator. With everything running, were only at 50% power, with AC running full max. It's quiet, and the duel fuel is great for Boondocking- no gas, no problem, flip a switch and GO! 5 out 5 stars all the way!

Saved my bacon during Hurricane Ida, literally & f

Relocated to LA 6 years ago & after 2020's very active hurricane season I knew I needed to have a generator on hand this year but needed one I could understand & operate on my own. I liked the idea of having an alternative fuel source I can store too. Push button start is awesome! My gas lasted me a lot longer than others & my generator was by far much quieter than any I've heard. Thumbs up from a female user…& the guy I'm seeing told his dad about mine & they went & bought one after they heard how efficient & easy mine was to run! I'd say that's a 5 star rating since they are old hats at hurricanes. Very pleased! P.S. Don't judge my generator's tent :) I needed to make sure it stayed dry since our power was down for a week!
