Simple setup - great operation

Have only fired this up and tested it. I am impressed with how simple it was to un box and hook up. The ease of starting with both pull start and electric start is awesome. I tested with a recip. saw, and it worked amazing. Cut through a 1/2" bar as a test and the generator never changed rpm. It is a little heavy but with the wheels that is not a problem. Tested it on propane, the only complaint is the fitting came out of the generator when I disconnected. There should be some sort of retention method used to keep the fitting from coming out with the hose. Other than this, zero complaints.

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.

Has ALL the features I need for my RV application

I am keeping this portable so lighter weight was important. Fired right off after adding oil and prepping. Very quiet and Smooth operation. Love the duel fuel option for backup camping and they send the hose and regulator with it. My buddy liked it so much he ordered one too.

Nice and Quiet

I have only just used it once so far but it runs everything in my camper nicely. My only concern is the quality of the battery; the original was leaking when my new generator arrived. It is unclear how long it will last or keep a charge. I will probably need to upgrade it.

Review

First one I bought was recalled, but the service was great in order to get it replaced. I have not used it much yet, but bought it so that I could use it with my 30Amp camper and the dual fuel to be able to use the propane tanks with the camper. The generator is fairly quiet. Since you are not supposed to store the generator on the back end, I would recommend a future design change on the rolling handle. It's a little difficult to extend and retract being so close to the ground, but it's a minimal thing. The remote start/stop is great.

Super Quiet!! Smooth and Powerful

Bought this to power my newly acquired 33' 5th wheel, it powers my A/C unit and most everything else with no problem! In the evening I put it on ECO mode when just running lights, TV, etc., it throttles right down to an idle to where it can barley be heard! Starts immediately with remote control, I shut it off at night with the remote, when I get up I turn the main breaker off in my trailer, remote start the generator then turn on the main breaker in a minute or so, make my coffee! Excellent product! Very happy

Very nice Generator/Inverter

I recently bought this generator and i'm very impressed! Very quiet, runs on gas and propane, and a very nice and sturdy unit. Shipping carton was very protective of the unit inside. Box had been banged up some in shipping, but generator and contents were all in great shape and with no marks or damage.

Good so far

Bought this generator after reading many reviews. It has performed great so far but this is based on very limited use. It will be primarily used as emergency power back up for our home. It replaces a very noisy Coleman generator that gave us many years of dependable back up power.

Great so far, but...

Great features. Docked 1 star for difficulty starting it. I filled it with stabilizer treated gas and allowed to run for 10 minutes after initial setup. Several weeks later it would not start after many attempts. Started right up after using starter fluid.

Waiting to see on performance

Say one. Did as the manual instructed, filled with the supplied oil, filled with gasoline. Then some had suggested run without load, then mixed load, power off & cool down, and repeat a couple of time. On the 30 amp load ran for a good while then just shutdown. would not restart. Called the support line, and it appeared to have too much oil. Manual very unspecific on where exactly to stop. Would be nice to say "put in 10 ounces, put in 2 cups, not keep putting in oil AND screwing in and out the dip stick 8 times until you think it's good. Anyway. Got it running again and 10 min later died again. By this time to late in day to mess with it anymore. Testing at home and very glad I wasn't on a trip somewhere. Recommending for now. Will wait and see how it turns out to update review.
