Great Dual Fuel Generator!

I just bought this on December 1st. I haven't had a chance to fully use it yet. Got it all set up and started it up to break in. Easily started up (especially when you turn the fuel line on! haha) and put a small load on it and ran fine. A little noisy if you are right next to it, otherwise it performed as I expected. We get power outages occasionally and I have two refrigerators I would like to keep running during that time. I also have a RV and the fact that this unit is dual fuel is one of the main reasons I purchased it. I look forward to using it on the road and trying it out on propane.

Good start

Just unpacked the gen and set it up. No issues there, very straight forward instructions. The generator started right away. I purchased this for emergencies and I hope I don't need to use for that purposes only. I do have other uses for it. The oil fill method could be improved, it already has an attachment but it could be a little longer to be able to use it in a 90 degree angle. Another thing that needs improvement is the packaging, there are dents in the tubular frame but it is not affecting performance, all other components look fine.

Easy to put it together and get started

I bought this because of the great reviews and cost. Have several friends that bought other brands and they are not satisfied. I have only used it once so far but it was easy to get going. I would like it better if it had an extension bar to pull/roll it where I need to station it. It's also a great size for small storage areas. Very satisfied. I already recommended it to a co-worker and her husband really likes it too.

Haven't needed it yet but....

except for the oil dipstick being in a really funky and hard to get to spot; setup was a breeze! I wish the manual told you how much oil you need but since it came with a bottle of oil that is 3/4 of a quart and that filled it, we're gonna assume 3/4 of a quart. Was a breeze to get it to start for the first time! Not too noisy, for a 4 cycle combustion engine.

So far, so good

I received the unit and inspected all around and found an air cover clip broken off. There were some slight bends in the frame, but nothing to keep it from operating. I filled the generator with oil and gas and ran the 1 hour break-in and then plugged in a space heater that put a load on and no problems. I plan to store it until I have the house wired to accept generator power and that will be the test.

Nice Generator

Arrived with no damage. Powers up what I need it to. I like the choices of plugs they give you. Dual fuel is a good feature. Although it doesn't seem to start on propane. Starts great on gas, then you can switch it over. Not a big deal. Still very happy with it.

Easy to use!!!!

I moved to an area where we seemed to lose power anytime a strong storm came through. A few times it was for an extended period. I bought this to run a few important items around the house to keep life moving along. It has worked perfectly and was very easy to understand for someone with little GEN experience. Very happy with my choice.

Everything I want in a generator!!!

I bought this size generator to keep my chest freezer & 2 refrigerators running when south TX starts having " Rolling Blackouts " like Cal. When they designed this model, they added everything. ( I didn't want the battery, electric start. ) The user manual is so easy to understand & with pictures.

Good Generator

We purchased this generator after a hurricane when our electric power was out for an extended time. We fueled it with gasoline and used it to power our refrigerator and an upright freezer on and off for a total of about 20 usage. We also used it to power a floor fan. It worked well. We plan to us it again if we have another extended outage.

Easy start, great features

I just bought this generator last week and like it so far. The only assembly required is for the wheels and front leveling supports; and the tools are included. I added the oil ( also included) and a couple gallons of gas, pressed the primer about 6 times and it started on the first pull. Then I let it run for about an hour to break it in. The onboard volt meter registered 120 - 122 volts (with no load) the entire time. I have not yet tried running it on propane or under load.
