Great Generator

I have had this for 2 weeks now and very happy so far. Easy to assemble for two people out of the box. Started first time on both gas and propane. Power produced seems to be as expected, but I still have to hook it up to a transfer switch to see how it does powering the house.

Convenient operation

This is a great generator! I have owned several other brands and this is by far superior. Works flawless and the remote start is wonderful and easy to use. It came well packaged with little assembly required! I would stop looking at other brands and invest in this one for sure!!!

One of the best units available

Gave my old unit to my daughter and decided to get what I really wanted, a dual fuel model. Read the reviews on the internet and concluded this was exactly what I was looking for. The power, ease of use, features and dependability are all top notch. Having extras like remote start, a built in hour meter/voltage meter/frequency meter are icing on the cake. Well packaged and everything included so it's ready to unbox and break in. The break in procedure is a little vague in the owners manual so I used the procedure that has served me well with my other small engines (30 minutes with no load then 1 hour at half load followed by an oil change). Did another 2 hours at half load and another oil change and then switched to full synthetic and the rings are seated and it's ready to go. It is loud and heavy but that's the price you pay for such a big unit.

Awesome Generator

Got this in september, I have used it through 3 power outages now and it runs all the essentials of our small home with ease! (I have run everything in the home at once just to see if it could handle it, it will, but maybe avoid the dryer or stove) Have not had to run it off propane yet as it seems to be fairly fuel efficient and that is just a backup for me. It does struggle to cold start off battery alone sometimes, but thats probably more of a battery issue than the generator itself (I dont leave the battery tender plugged in).

My First Generator

I purchased this in light of power outages due to hurricanes and severe storms. Bought it after hurricane Beryl and it is Hot here in Texas. This machine has good reviews and a lot of features. Looking forward to seeing it in action. It is a great looking machine!! I pick this one for the dual fuel and power.

Looks really good and runs great. Lots of features

Bought this generator and it runs great. Puts out the numbers it states it does and has remote start and the ability to add another product that allows it to start up when it recognizes the power is out to be stored similar as a generac for a fraction of the price.

Quieter than a lawn mower

Everything works. I tested it out today, using propane. The electronic starter works great. It takes three times to get started, but it knows enough to automatically repeat the 2 last times, and get the engine started. Even after it had been warmed up, it still takes 3 starts. The remote start key fob works perfectly as well to start and stop the engine. Straight from the factory, the lithium-ion battery has enough joules to start the motor. After the test, I charged up the battery using the included charger. When the light on the charger changes from red to green, the battery is charged up. I am very pleased with the purchase. Now I have peace of mind in case of another deadly Texas winter freeze (as in Feb. 2021).

Great generator so far.

I just got this generator today. I read all instructions and assembled in about 30-45 minutes. As heavy as it was, it was a little difficult to assemble by myself, 1 hand lifting and 1 hand putting pieces on. After assembly, put in oil, plugged in battery, hooked up propane and it fired right up. I charged a couple of batteries for about 20 minutes, then packed it up and stored it until needed. So far so good!

Well made machine

I ordered this a month ago and it was delivered promptly. The assembly was very easy and following the instructions, the generator started up on the first try. This is a beautifully made generator. It has all the necessary gauges and the finish is great. I have only had this generator for a short time so far it has operated 100%

Great Dual Fuel Generator!!!

This is one of the best generators on the market and it came at a great price. The electronic start and remote start are amazing. No longer do you have to go out in the cold to start the generator, just use the key fob and it starts right up. Having the ability to use both gas and propane is a huge plus. The plugs have nice weather proof covers and it is simple to use. The wheels and handle also make it easy to move around as it is kind of heavy.
