Happy to have options.

Just purchased the dual fuel generator. I've had a generator backup for my home since 2007. I figured it was time to retire the old one. Found this dual fuel for a good price and had to get it. Now I have the option to run either gas or propane. No more worries about the fuel gelling I always have propane around and if I run out can use gas. Hope I never have to use it for an emergency yet feel safe with it being ready.

Well pleased with this generator

I upgraded from a gasoline only generator to this dual fuel unit. It was well packed and took only a few minutes to unpack it, put the wheels and feet on and add the oil. Started on the second pull and ran smoothly. I have only tested at 3600 watts so far on both 120v and 240v and the generator handled it with no problem and almost no change in the voltage. I really like the versatility of the generator having the option of using either 240v or full power at 120v.

User friendly

I waited for this generator to come back in stock and I'm glad I did. Put the wheels and feet on, filled with oil, hooked it up to a propane bottle and it fired off on the fourth pull. Ran quieter than I was expecting. Great layout and user friendly. You can't go wrong on this one. Tool kit and oil funnel shows they care about their customers. Warranty was the best I saw. Quality product.

Just turned it on

So far so good. The generator had been sitting in my garage for almost a year now. I really like that it’s dual fuel. Have been using propane so that I won’t have to empty the tank for storage. I also like that it has the starting instructions on top of the tank.

Reliable Generator

We bought the Generator for any emergency. We were able to put it together in less than 20 minutes and get it ready to start. The starting took a little time, the engine does not start right away like I am used to with other portable devices; however, once it started it run flawlessly. I run the break-in process and so far it has been very dependable.

Saved use during Hurricane Helene aftermath

We were without power for almost 2 weeks and this generator helped us save food in our refrigerator and freezer. We love the fact that it is dual fuel and we do not have to use ethanol gas in it. We were able to power it with clean burning propane and not gum up the interior components with ethanol gas.

Good Generator for the Price

This is a good generator. A few things it is missing that I wish it had is an electric start and directions for how much oil to put in. I looked everywhere for how much oil it takes and could not find it. It took a lot of trial and error to fill up oil.

Great value!

We bought this about a month ago and I've only powered it up twice. One time on gasoline and another time on propane. It started easily each time. I just tested it with a leaf blower ~12amps but it doesn't even flinch. The real test will be when I need to connect it to the house.

Great Buy

Bought this for our home power outages and it started right up and ran perfectly. Tested it out on all our home appliances and it worked great. Easy to use and set up. Love the propane option and not very loud at all. Very happy with this generator and recommend it to others.

OK Generator

I did get it started, but after about 5 minutes it just shut off. Started it again and after a few minutes it shut off again. I live in high altitude so I purchased the recommended high altitude kit and hopefully it will run better after installing the kit.
