Wonderful purchase

I bought this generator after a big storm came by and knocked down but I’ll ride at home put it together in about 30 minutes I had the fridges and the TV and lamps running he had no trouble keeping up easy to operate. Best purchase I’ve made in a long time it starts extremely easily not even loud when it’s running.

Easy to setup!

I am impressed with how well the user manual was made. Very informative! The instructions are easy to follow. Also, the generator itself is exactly as detailed in its description. I think we will enjoy using this to run our sump pump when the power goes out.

Great generator for the price!

I bought this generator about a year ago and have used it a few times without any issues, the dual fuel option is such a great feature, one gripe I do have is that the nuts and some bolts have rusted without any water contact. I live in Los Angeles, CA. One recommendation for the manual would be to make an easy explanation or visual of both the 120v plugs to show wat and how watts are split amongst them..

Perfect for our current needs!

Already assembled, just had to put on tires and mounting feet. Oil was provided, so put that in with some ethanol-free gas; followed easy instructions, and the generator started right up. We ran it for approximately 10 minutes on gas but have not tried propane yet. Excited to use it as backup power for home next time we need. So far, very pleased.

Good value, great finish, will change to 5 star

Generator quality out of the box is much better than my previous one. If the problem I describe doesn't repeat I would give this 5 stars for the value. Fired right up on propane, dowever I had to stop about 20 minutes into break in and when I tried to restart on propane I could not get it to run, would just sputter and die. Switched to gas and started right up. Hoping this was just due to break in and will not run into this problem in the future.

Quality Product

Pro: Started first time, solid frame, foot pegs are of good quality Con: Meter shows 62.2 frequency and 121V was hoping for more around 60 frequency, wheels do not roll as smooth as like and it was confusing about the 240v L14-30P not being usable when set to 120 V.

Works great

I bought this generator right before hurricane Milton. I am so glad I did as we needed it after the storm. It was easy to assemble and start it up. It ran all day on a tank of gas and was able to run our fridge and some other items in the kitchen as well as some lights, a few fans and our vacuum. I am very happy with this generator.

Great features.

Needed a generator with 240 volt features along with 20A 120 volt features. During a four day power outage on my farm in Texas it keep my well and freezers running. At night we had electric heat in our bedroom. I have areas on my farm where I have no power at barns, and away from the main house where I have electrical power, a generator like this is a must.

So far so good

I'm not sure how well it will work in a long run. But it starts and seems to run fairly quiet. I guess we'll see once it gets some use. It always seems ridiculous to ask for a review as soon as you buy something. I have no real idea how it will work. I bought this in case I lose power but that has not happened yet, so maybe I will revisit this next year.
