Dual fuel

We bought this when a big storm took out our power. My husband relies on a CPaP machine when he sleeps. We mainly got a generator to power his CPAP and keep a fridge/freezer running. We were able to power a small stand up freezer and a full size fridge/freezer and also a fan and CPAP machine with no problems. I like the option to switch to propane if you want to. Not too complicated for me to figure out if hubby is not around.

Excellent features

I bought this unit a month ago for a trip out to the western states. Dry camped for 1 week in our 30 foot travel trailer and ran the whole camper with this unit including a single a/c on propane only without a single hiccup. Very nice unit, starts on the 2nd or 3rd pull every time.

Great Buy!

After the TX power grid failed us last year, we decided to get better prepared this year. We just purchased the generator last week and have only tested it with propane. It started right away on the first pull. I really like the dual fuel option! It was a bit loud and I can only imagine how much louder it will sound when the whole neighborhood is without power, but oh well, at least we’re prepared! It’s also pretty heavy so I definitely recommend getting the model with the wheels. Overall, very pleased with the purchase.

Worked great so far!

We recently had a planned outage in my area due to changing of poles and I am currently working from home due to Covid and I used this two days for 4-8 hours and it worked perfectly. I was able to use my tv, my internet, and a lamp. I am looking forward to seeing how much juice it really has when we have to use it for longer!!

Excellent Generator!!!

Bought this generator when some severe storms recently knocked out our power for 2+ days in SE Michigan. Love the dual fuel option and opted to run this generator on propane. Each 20lb cylinder of propane lasted about 11-12 hours. Did not use the supplied oil... we used Mobil 1 5w-30 full synthetic oil. This generator started easy and ran everything we asked it to until power returned. Will be adding a 30 amp power inlet to the house so that we won't need extension cords if the power goes out again.

Dual fuel/5300w-gas/4800-LPG

Been using this machine for 2 days straight and I can say it's well built and plenty of power. I've used it with my MIG welder and a variety of appliances such as my refrigerator, dryer and washer. I don't usually use gasoline, but for the sake of testing this machine out the extra 500watts help did manage to show up when I added more tools to increase the power draw. Over all I am positive we are ready for any blackout that may occur. Other than that, I love that I will be able to use this if I have work somewhere remotely or even camping.

Great Value

I just bought this generator. It was easy to get set up, came with the oil included in the box. Wheels and handle also included. I was able to assemble, add the oil and gas and generator was up and running in less than 30 minutes. Ran flawlessly for the 1 hour break in period.

Compact size will fit the space I wanted to put it

It looks nice. It's the right size. I can wheel it around to where I want. It's dual fuel so I'd rather use propane which is easy to get and to store. I googled quiet generators and this was rated near the top with only two others a few decibels less. We learned our lesson and always keep a generator after going 3 months without electricity post Hurricane Iniki.

Great Generator!

This generator looks to be made very well and will be a reliable source of energy if the power goes out. It's also great that it's ready to be integrated into a transfer switch! Only drawback is 2 normal outlets and no electric start that Im aware of at this time.

Great Features!

We bought this generator a few months ago. We love that it takes both propane & gasoline. Data center is helpful with knowing how much the current voltage output is as well as the lifetime running hours. Also displays a reminder when maintenance is required. Very user friendly. Would buy again!
