Great for power loss.

I bought this today after we lost power yesterday during a wind storm and was told that it could be many days without power. We don’t need much plugged in but this works well in a bind. Have extension cords running through a ground floor window and items plugged in from there. Really helps that the fridge will stay running.

Dual fuel option is awesome!

I have a small collection of propane tanks laying around. Because this generator can use propane, I have filled up the tanks in case of emergency. They can be stored indefinitely and the propane won’t go bad like gasoline will. I love having options!

Easy set up.

Generator was well packed with all assessories needed such as wheels, mounting feet, correct quantity of oil and funnell to install oil, wrench to install wheels & feet. The user manual is very well done and easy to use. It started on the third pull and ran as expected. I purchased this to use in an outage at a rental house that we own so we don't have to move our existing portable generator back and forth. Our daughter bought the same model last year and it worked very well during the one outage they had that winter.

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.

Heavy but easy to use

I have never owned or operated a generator before this one, and just set it up today to run on propane. I am a 225lb 40-year old male and have in the past operated some outdoor equipment which requires a pull start. I think this started on the 6th pull with the choke set to On. I was concerned about starting it up but it really wasn't an issue.

Solid product

I bought this as a back up power in case the house loses electricity. Solid build, easy to start and easy to set up. The only thing I will complain about is that when delivered it was placed on its side and the bottle of oil was crushed. Oil was all over the parts and leaked onto my sidewalk. Better directions on box or shipping method of oil would be nice.

Great Product

Just purchase it. Well built machine that looks like it will last. The dual fuel is great because you can keep propane forever, and not have to worry about gasoline turning bad or gumming up the engine. Removes the need to drain the gas when storing it. The noise level is about the same as a lawnmower and shouldn't be a problem during emergencies. Overall great generator.

Easy to use

I bought this generator for a backup supply of electricity. With the storms we are having this year 2023. I feel it was a wise thing to be prepared for any events that may occur. The package came earlier than promised. and putting the wheels and legs on the generator was very easy. I filled it with oil and put gas in it and a half a pull on the cord and started right up. If you are looking for a temporary power to your home in a emergency this will work for you.

Won't start on propane.

Great price but will only start on gasoline. Worked with customer service who sent a part which I changed out. Started one time after that on propane only. After that will only start on gasoline. Runs fine once started. Waiting for further customer service assistance. Unfortunately it looks like I will have to load this heavy thing in my truck and drive it to a service center. Not too happy about that.

Exactly as advertised Awesome!

I just received today, great price easy setup. Installing transfer switch, could not be happier with this generator! Best price for great features. Propane or gasoline, ready for anything and 120/240 switchable! Using as emergency for minimum use in house and with a travel trailer.
