Used it while camping and it was fantastic! It was very quiet and worked perfectly!

Nice lightweight and quiet generator. It will power a refrigerator, lights and modem. Or if need be it will power a small heater.

Very Efficient unit, noise level is much less than other generators ured in the past. Creates good power for the need and with Carbon Monoxide detector it is a very safe unit. Not very heavy making it very easy to position where needed. Easy start on the first pull.

This was my choice because the physical size is perfect. The functions are what I need. I have not had the opportunity to use it yet although I am looking forward to it. I looked at many reviews and was pleased then I saw it at a great price at BJ's so I bought it. Thank you for all your follow up. That alone tells me a lot.

I bought this to provide emergency power for our home as a winter storm was approaching. It arrived the day before predicted power outages were supposed to begin. Once I had the unit completely unpackaged, it was running after four minutes and four pulls on the cord. I immediately appreciated the low volume and the slick and useful “intelligauge”, which displays all sorts of information about the generator’s status. I even inadvertently tested the “CO Shield” carbon monoxide detector by placing the unit too close to the screened porch door, which has a solid panel at the bottom. After a few minutes, the system activated and cut off the generator. Thankfully the storm bypassed us and we didn’t need the generator, but we can rest easy knowing we’re ready for the next one!

I bought this inverter generator and am very pleased with it. To start off, the start up guide is easy to follow and straight forward. It also comes with the oil needed for starter up. This inverter is very light weight and is not too heavy full of gas. It is pretty quiet while running as well. The size makes it easy to move around and store when not in use. The CO shield is a great plus in terms of safety.

Our power went out for days and days. Finally I received this generator. It's perfect for storage and for keeping my refrigerator and freezer running along with the ability to charge my phone and computer along with some living room lighting. Most importantly, I could also run my dehumidifier. Well, maybe the refrigerator was more important, but my basement was getting stinky stinky stinky. I'm never used a generator before, but the instructions for winterizing we're pretty good. It's now sitting in my basement with the gas out and ready to go for the next power outage. It only gets four stars because it sometimes sounded like it was struggling, so it's yet to be seen whether it actually was struggling. I don't think it was, but like I said I'm not familiar with generators in general. That is to say if I were to come back and review it after the next time, I am very hopeful that it would be a five-star rating.

After reading lots of reviews I decided to take the plunge and buy this generator even though it was around $150 more than the competive ones; i.e. Wen and Smart Power. From the packaging I noticed that this generator might be a used/return item which I really did not mind provided it was in good condition. Upon opening the package, I noticed that there were oil spills in the plastic bag surrounding the generator (see picture}, and then all over the bottom, air intake grill, air filter housing, engine compartment, and also outside; see the decal oil discoloration picture. It took me a couple of hours to clean up the mess. The generator seems to run OK but I am still on the fence since upon starting the generator, I noticed it sputtered as if it wanted to shut off, but after I shut down the generator and restarted it that went away. I am glad I bought the extended warranty since considering the condition I received the generator in I may have to return it if I encounter more disappointing episodes on this generator.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the compact and well thought out design of this inverter. Was surprised to find out it has a built-in CO detector! That was a pleasant surprise. Great feature, didn't even know that existed. The unit was very easy to get setup, add oil and fuel. Starts easily and runs quietly. Very portable. Would highly recommend.

Bought this unit in preparation for bad weather in SC. After adding the oil and filling with gas, the unit started on the first pull. It wasn't as noisy as I thought it would be. I used it to power a fridge and a chest freezer with no problem. At less than 50 pounds, the portability is good. I am very pleased with this product.
