Residential Home Builder

Using this to build houses. Easy pull start and intuitive controls. Enough power to run multiple high draw power tools with no problems. I'm running off gasoline but nice to have dual fuel if needed. Also planning to use as personal generator for home if needed in case of hurricane.

Works great

Bought this generator yesterday. Put oil in it, hooked it up to propane and it started right up. Ran the break in period yesterday, hooked it up to my RV today. Had enough power to run both my AC and microwave. Very pleased and cannot wait to have it on my hunting trip next month.

Good value, great finish, will change to 5 star

Generator quality out of the box is much better than my previous one. If the problem I describe doesn't repeat I would give this 5 stars for the value. Fired right up on propane, dowever I had to stop about 20 minutes into break in and when I tried to restart on propane I could not get it to run, would just sputter and die. Switched to gas and started right up. Hoping this was just due to break in and will not run into this problem in the future.

A lifesaver after a series of tornadoes

We bought two generators last month after losing power from a series of tornadoes. The dual fuel made it easy to hook up our existing propane tanks. They are easy to start for my wife. Without the generators our sump pump would not have ran and our basement would have flooded. We were able to keep the fridge, freezer and some lights going too without any problem.

Dual Fuel is the best!

I bought this in advance of an ice storm. I really love the dual fuel feature. When I use propane, I don't have to worry about gasoline getting old in the tank when I store the generator. Assembly was a breeze, just a couple of feet and wheels on the back. It fired up on the second pull and the digital volt readout showed that it was functioning well. We're ready for whatever comes!

Straight forward…

Purchased portable generator while our power is out after a storm. Set up was very straightforward and seems to be strong enough for what we need. Currently running a full-size refrigerator/freezer, a smaller upright freezer and a fan and the generator seems to be quite stable, without sounding strained.

Initial review GREAT

Generator looks great and was easy to assemble. Love the screw in oil funnel! Operated on propane and started on the 3rd pull for its initial run time. Excited to complete the first oil change and complete the break-in period. So far so good!

5 out of 5 stars review

Only for Propane, and so far so good, however...

I haven't used the Generator extensively. There is about 15 hours, mostly just to break it in and change the oil to synthetic. So far I'm pleased. Not any more noisy than my Champion, but not any quieter either. Purchased this because it runs on Propane. That is all I plan on using for this i.e. 20lb tanks. Much "clearer" burning. Exhaust doesn't make you gag. Fuel lasts many years, no gunking carb etc. The guideline requested I avoid reviewing C/S. So I will, other than to say there is a big reason for that....

Great product

I was excited to open my new generator since the power went out earlier that day. It worked like a gem with very easy installation. 4 screw and done. I love the duel fuel capabilities. the only reason I’m giving 4 and not five it’s not push button start.

Great Dual Fuel Generator

I bought this generator in case of a power outage in preparation of a winter storm. The dual fuel feature was something I required due to the flexibility of fuel source. The included oil and screw-in oil funnel along with the wrench pack made initial assembly out of the box quite easy. I chose to operate the generator with propane and it started within 3-4 pulls. I have only ran the generator for the initial break in period of one hour but during that time everything seemed to work properly and the sound level of the generator wasn’t too loud and very much tolerable while inside my home.
