Great generator

I bought this generator after a 13 hour power outage . I have 2 houses on my property and only had one generator so I let my daughter use it on her house. I am excited to have a propane generator because that takes away any chance of the carb gumming up from gas setting in the bowl, also its difficult to find non ethanol fuel in our area. I dont want another storm to show up but if it does I will be better prepared.

Perfect for hurricane season

This is the perfect resource for hurricane season. We frequently lose power in South Louisiana, and the flexibility of the dual fuel allows us to be ready for any contingency. A whole home generator is far too expensive for most families, but this portable generator meets our needs in a very economical way.

Quick and easy set up!

I bought this product about a month ago, and I so happy we did before storm season! The user manual and tools made set up and assembly quick and easy. The maintenance portion of the manual breaks things down simply so I can be fully prepped for the season ahead.

Perfect Generator to live comfortabably at home.

Had no issues running my A/C [Mini-Split 5-zone] along with a few other appliances at the same time [microwave, air fryer, fridges, induction cooktop, washer/dryer, Room HEPA filters, etc... - not all on at the same time, but had no issues running quite a few, I was surprised!!]

Excellent!

I plugged this unit into my home, and it ran all that we use, including the well, and the hot water heater. Keeping in mind that we didn't use the microwave, air fryer, or any other power sucking appliances all at once, but we never do. Quiet for it's size, and it's easy to maneuver when moving it around.

Easy set up. Has been dependable thruout emergency

Tree limb took out power line. Power company required complete upgrade to outside box. The product was easy to set up. It has been dependably running for the last two weeks during this emergency. We have been able to run almost everything off this one power source. It was a great buy.

Propane & 220V at this price is great!

Works good. Nothing spectacular. This is the best deal I could find on a dual fuel model that also had 220V. I wired it up to my house. Also, it has the neutral bonded out of the box. The instructions were EASY to unbond the neutral so I could plug it into my house.

Dual fuel, Gasoline and Propane power Max 5300w

I have been Now using this machine for about 2 days and I have put it through various tests using both gasoline on one and then propane as well for another. I love that it came with a switch for 120v and 240v. I usually use it with the 120 V 20 amp four common uses. I also have used this on a welder and I can say I did not disappoint. Just so you know propane has a max output of 4800 running Watts with 5800 Peak Watts. And gasoline has 5300 running watts and 6500 Peak Watts. For anyone who wants to know if you specs. It does come with tripped breakers so don't worry about overdoing the machine. There is also a ground connection screw in case you want to ground something. Coming straight out of the box I had no issues whatsoever getting a machine started. As far as the noise level he was surprisingly a little quieter than then I assumed. I bought this for emergency uses just in case the power went out as well as remote use when I need my welder and have no additional power supply. I can safely say that this machine does not disappoint.

Awesome generator!

We finally got to use the generator for hurricane Idelia. Started with only one pull (for my husband). Ran for hours without a glitch. Love the fact that we can chose propane or gas. We feel much more at ease with two more months of hurricane season this year.

Off to a great start!

I bought this generator to power my RV in case of a power outage like we had here in Texas in February (we were without electricity for 7 days)!. It was easy to unbox and there was very little assembly required. It was well packaged and was undamaged. It took less than an hour to put it together, put some oil in it, hook it up to a propane tank and fire it up. It started on the 2d pull and ran flawlessly. I ran it through the first hour of break-in and checked the the output with a outlet tester and it was working well. I'm looking forward to hooking it to the RV for a test run tomorrow - Thanks!
