Great value!

This was the best value I could find for a generator that should be able to power my whole house in an emergency. The warranty is better than the competition I considered. My only disappointment is that it does NOT ship with a natural gas hose, as some other reviewers have indicated. It comes with a LPG hose that's about 4 feet long, but not a hose capable of helping you connect to a natural gas port on your house.

Remote start at the convince of tri fuel options

I bought this generator from same club on a sale, and so happy that i did.I was able to use this on a couple of occasion and it works very well. The main the thing, that my wife likes the most is the remote start option. I hope it will continue to work well in the days to come.

Excellent!

I bought this unit after getting by on a smaller generator during Helene. Wired up a transfer switch and added a natural gas connection. After this ice storm we went through in January 2026, this unit performed flawless for the 17 hour power outage we went through. I highly recommend this unit.

Too Early To Tell

Bought this in anticipation of an approaching Ice storm. Unboxed, assembled, oil and fuel added, and started on the first pull. All 3 start modes worked as advertised. Perfect power from all receptacles. Initial rating is a 4.5. Holding off on a 5 for now. We'll see what happens during this coming storm

Just what I was looking for.

I bought this in August. Got the gas line hooked up, and electric cable to the box and just in the nick of time. Two days later an accident up the street knocked power out for ten hours. Flipped a switch, pushed the button on the fob and the generator fired right up. Works great!! Thanks

A gift that will reduce anxiety

This was gifted to me just ahead of a severe winter storm warning for the mid-Atlantic states. Hopefully I will not have to put it to use but the thought of "Tri-fuel" capability and electric start greatly reduces anxiety. The remote start is a bonus feature.

Tri-fuel generator

I recently had to use this generator due to no electricity and it performed very well I decided to use the propane part of it and it worked great. I also like that you can use a remote to start and stop it a major plus to save from going out in the cold weather.

Why?

What genius designed a generator that you cannot start with the pull rope unless the battery is charged? They put an electric fuel solenoid that requires the battery to be charged for the carburetor to get fuel. Is it just in case we feel we need exercise? The whole purpose of the pull rope on a generator with electric start is to be able to start the generator if the battery is dead, no? Again, why?

Great Generator

This generator runs good, its is not obnoxiously loud. It has been running for over 5 hours and I haven't used a half of a tank of fuel yet. It's got a lot of options, battery trickle charger, and key fob for remote start which is going to be handy. The tri-fuel feature is awesome. Overall, I like this generator so far.

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.
