Easy to Assemble and works right out of the box

This generator is easy to use right out of the box. I have tested and love the remote control function of it. It is a very heavy unit and hopefully that means that it is durable. I haven't used it long enough to give it a 5 star. I will break in and start using to see it's full capacity and hopefully have the time to give you all a feedback on it. So far, it's the best one that I bought so far.

Exceptional Quality

After being without power for a week we decided to invest in a generator that we could depend on. Not that I’m looking forward to the next time we lose power but I’m excited that we are now prepared! No damage during shipping, everything was boxed neatly and organized, assembled with ease, and busted off using LP. Rated it at a 4 because it hasn’t been used in an outage yet.

Great features, super easy set up and operation.

The generator came with everything I needed to assemble it very easily and quickly. It took well under an hour. It even included lubricating oil for the engine. Start up was also extremely easy - hook up the propane tank (hose was included), flip the in switch, and press the remote button. It started flawlessly and ran smoothly. I love the dual fuel feature and the option to pull start, push button start, or remote start. The large wheels make it easy to maneuver. I am confident that I will be able to run my furnace, refrigerator/freezer, lights, and other small appliances next time I lose power. Great peace of mind!

Easy to set up and "especially" start

No issues starting generator. It was ACTUALLY tested at the factory (oil and gas were drained properly for delivery). This is a very commendable feature since returning a generator of this size is a real pain in the (!$) which I had to do since a competitor does not (and it even boasted EFI fuel system trouble free, not). I will be installing a transfer switch to take advantage of the 50 amp output at 240 vac.

Seems like a solid generator

I bought this dual fuel generator because I needed something to keep the essential appliances in our house running during an outage, the dual fuel option was attractive to me because I don’t like storing gasoline. The unit arrived promptly and was easy to set up and the instructions were clear. It seems very sturdy and well-built. So far during my test run I’ve only used propane but it was easy to start using the push button. One of the GFI outlets seemed a bit sensitive to the leaf blower I plugged in for testing as it tripped when I turned up the speed but the other outlet was totally fine. This is not something I hope to use a lot but I feel like it will serve me well during the next power outage.

Dual fuel is the way to go.

Just received this generator right in time for hurricane season. So happy I went with the dual fuel option. I usually have plenty of propane on hand and will also use the gas portion if needed and the pumps are working. Nice knowing I do not have to store gas or have to leave gas in the tank to go bad. This should give me plenty of years of reliable use.

Worked great and love electric start!

We bought this generator a few days before Beryl hit. Really didn't expect to use it since Beryl wasn't supposed to be as bad as it was. Sure glad we got it! It ran all 3 refrigerators, lights, internet, and might have run more but we didn't push it. Hurricane season is just beginning and we may have more opportunities to run it.

Review of delivery, set up, and initial starting.

The generator was ordered on Dec 7 with a guaranteed delivery of Dec 21, it was delivered on Dec 18.....AWESOME!!! Upon inspecting the box, I was surprised to learn that the only tool I needed was a boxcutter. When I opened the box and Inspected the contents, I learned that I would need a wrench to install the two legs. The wrench needed was part of the contents and it is an actual wrench that I will keep in my tool box, it is not one of those junk stamped pieces of sheet metal that you normally get. The assembly is simple and the instruction sheet is easy to follow and does not leave out any necessary details. There is a funnel supplied that I really appreciate; it makes the oil installation virtually drip free. Initial start up did not go as smoothly as unpacking and assembly. The generator would not start on either push button or remote start. It would go through the starting process but would not start. When I did a manual start (it started with one pull) I learned that the breather hose was blocking the full travel of the choke lever. I adjusted the position of the hose to allow full travel and the auto start function cranked the generator as designed. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Has all the features I was in search of.

I bought this two weeks ago, to replace a 6500 watt generator that served well through Helene. I realized two things one my wife could not start it, and it would not run everything I needed. This appears to be perfect, meets all my needs and being dual fuel significantly improves my fuel storage options

Best Generator Ever

I have owned a-lot of generators, but this is by a mile the best generator till date. It is so easy to switch between gasoline an propane. It does not make a-lot of noise, and I am very impressed with the remote start and stop. Easily powered by home after a 3 day black out. Will definitely recommend.
