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/

Features I was needing

Generator had the features, such as tri-fuel and 240V capability for my well pump, that I wanted. Arrived on time and in good condition. Easy enough to assemble and I have run it for about one half hour to test it out. Primarily bought to power my house during power outages but will likely use it occasionally on our farm.

GENERATOR

WE AE SO GLAD TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THIS GENERATOR FOR TIMES WHEN THE ELECTRIC GOES OUT AND WE CAN FUNCTION IN OUR HOME UNTIL THEPOWER IS RESTORED. IN MAY 2004, THE POWER WAS OUT FOR 3 DAYS DUE TO A POWERFUL WIND STORM IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT TOOK TREES AND ELECTRICAL LINES DOWN IN MAJOR AREAS. IT TOOK OHIO EDISON 3 DAYS TO GET TO US.

Just picked it up

Needed a generator for the upcoming winter storm. The product was easy to assemble and make ready for use. Started up immediately. However, it took some time to figure out how to get power. The instructions for use do not mention that you need to turn off the circuit breaker switch. Once I did that the power came on. So far so good. Time will tell how good the product is during use.

Great Futures

So far it's been Working Great for what I've used it for. Main use is for temporary Power during Storms, Ive tested it and runs all the essential Equipment inside my Home until Power is restored. It's pretty quite for the Design and love the Remote Start Future.

New Generator

I purchased this generator to replace an old. Set up was easy and I connected it to propane to try it out. Started right up. Being able to use propane makes keeping fuel on hand easier and not having to worry about gasoline going bad. We have power outages once or twice a year due to storms. The 50 amp plug will be handy to connect it to our panel when our electrician gets it setup. This model doesn't have the drain hose on the float bowel to drain it. Would have been nice instead of pulling the plug and catching the gas in a small container.

Power outages

We just recently had an 80 mph wind gusts storm with temperatures in the teens and power was out for over 13 hrs. I did not have a generator and house was getting cold and I was getting concerned over frozen water lines. The fridge was getting warm. I bought this generator for future power outages. Just hooked it up to propane and it started right up. My power company is coming this week to install a Generlink to power my house from the generator.

Great Generator for the money!

I purchased this machine on 1/31/26 and I'm glad I did. The build quality is excellent and the measured THD was below 12% ( I was expecting something around 20% or more) and it powers my 4 ton Air Conditioner and the house with no problem. I was also pleasantly surprised to see in the owners manual the instructions on how you proceed if you need a floating neutral so you can safely wire it directly to your electrical system. Everything I needed to get going was included and I'm genuinely happy with my purchase. I will likely purchase one of their smaller Inverter models in the next month or so to supplement my solar system.

great product

I bought this due to living in florida with the hurricanes and it has performed well. It's large enough to power my 5th wheel 36 foot RV with 2 air conditioners. setup was easy, swapping between fuel sources just as simple. i enjoyed it so much, i had my company by the larger size for our usage on projects. well done

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?
