Plenty of power, love the Tri-fuel!

I purchased this generator just in time... lost power for about a day during a recent ice storm. Initially, I ran the generator with gasoline. It started easily, powered everything I needed it to. We stayed warm & cozy, and our fish in the Koi pond were happy that the pump kept running! Now we have another storm coming this weekend, and I am ready to use it with natural gas... so far I love it!

GREAT FEATURES

VERY EASY TO SET UP, DOES COME WITH OIL AND A BATTERY. THE WHEELS SEEM FAIRLY HEAVY DUTY AND IT SEEMS VERY EASY TO USE. I HAVE NOT RUN IT YET, BUT I DON'T FORSEE ANY PROBLEMS. ALSO LIKE HOW IT HAS THE QUICK BATTERY DISCONNECT SO IT IS NOT DRAINING THE BATTERY WHEN NOT IN USE/

great machine

I bought this generator as a whole home unit. Straight out of the box it was easy to set up and start. Everything works great. I was very pleased with the price. The unit is very well made for the price. The included gas hoses were a very nice bonus.

Fantastic Generator

I've had a trial running the generator on propane and it runs smooth as silk. It's so nice to not have to fool around with a choke. I guess I don't know what the advantage is with the remote but I do like the charging port on the control board and the trickle charger that is included. Also the Smart connection for compete automated setup. All in all it is a fantastic deal on a generator, hope it has the longevity that is needed if I have to use it for long periods. The reason I purchased it was the convivence of hooking it up to the houses natural gas, endless amount of fuel and no need to storage gas for it.

Easy hook up and easy push button start

We bought this generator back in January. I had an old style rope pull 6250. Worked ok but i needer something with more power and an electric start and ran on propane. My wife and i love this generator. If i am not here she can crank it with out a problem. And run the whole house with out having to watch what she has turned on.

Not recommended

I bought this generator a little over a year ago. I initially set it up, ran it and all was good. I even pulled it out of my garage and ran it every so often. When a predicted snow/ice storm came out, I pulled the generator out and put it where I'd be using it if power went out. Only problem, every time I started it, the CO light would flash and off it went. This was in an open area. I have tried several times in differing spots with no luck. It has never really been used, just started periodically. I'm so disappointed. Please advise on how this can be fixed.

Started on the first try!

I bought this after losing power for 6 days this winter. Haven't had to use it yet but I did connect it to propane and it started with the push button. Not looking forward to using it but it's comforting to know it's there. It is heavy and was delivered on a pallet. I managed to unpack and assemble it by myself but it would be easier with two people.

Great Features,

My wife and I bought this generator as a Christmas gift to each other. We have lived in the country for 40+ years and have never had a generator. Shame on us. Know we have this new one and hope to never have to use it. LOL. Planning on putting a thru the wall hookup using the 30 amp outlet. Assembly was easy and after following all the start up procedures, it fired right up using the electric start. So far so good.

Ready for the Hurricanes

Very nice generator. Has all of the bells and whistles of the high priced machines but at a better price. Hooked it up and tested it by attaching to my Generlink. We are all set for hurricane season. Only downside was battery in remote was DOA. Worked perfect after replacing it.

Excited about our purchase

We just purchased the tri-fuel generator. We were searching for a portable generator that would run our A/C in the summer, if needed. Although we've not had to opportunity to try it out, with the other reviews we've read, we're confident it will meet all our needs. We plan to have it connected to natural gas so we don't have to worry about keeping a supply of gasoline or propane.
