Good generator

Bought this generator for house backup power. Excited to try it out on a fridge, furnace and some other small appliances. Should have no problem running it all. I love the duel fuel option, that’s what sold me on this unit. For the price you certainly can’t beat having the propane as a backup option. Living in NY, we constantly lose power during snow storms so this will certainly get good use.

Looks good so far

Just bought this generator in case of power outage and haven’t used it yet, but I wanted the storage cover from this review. Outside of operation, this generator has great information and packed well. This review could be bumped up a star but it wouldn’t be a fair review since I haven’t used it yet.

Great Features

I like the features on this unit. Easy to put wheel kit on, You get everything you need to start it up. There's a funnel that screws in to add engine oil {no mess}. This is a dual fuel unit I started it on gas. First pull it started. Very easy pull start. Would recommend this unit and I would buy again.

Outstanding features, plenty of outlet & dual fuel

I bought this generator just before a severe winter storm in December 2022. Our neighborhood lost power for about18 hours while the temperature plummeted -18 F. I used it to run our furnace. If we did not have the generator, our pipes would have burst. I was fortunate enough to found one that day. I will feel more secure in the future.

Awesome

I live in the dessert and it gets very hot so I bought this generator to use during power outages in the summer months, I haven’t had to use it yet but it’s nice to know that i have a reliable generator to use just in case. Packaging is very sturdy so had no damage or issues during shipping. I highly recommend this generator.

I like the dual fuel options

I bought this in april 2020 and it stayed in the box until recently a tropical storm knocked power out in several counties around me. I quickly put it together and started running drop cords for the refrigerator and hot water and the coffee pot....it works great.

Easy to use

My first time using a generator. Frankly, I thought it would be troublesome and it’s not. I do have to say, it was a bit heavy to move, But once I installed the wheels it was easy to move around. The instructions are very simple to follow. Once the oils and fuel was added. Only a few pulls if the recoil is what it took to get the generator going. It truly saved the day. I was going on 8 hours without power and the refrigerator wasn’t going to hold much longer. I am very happy I have the generator

Best Price on the Market

Have not had a power outage yet but have tested it and it worked my fine. My only issue the unit would not start on propane only.... The issue which I found in troubleshooting, not in the starting instructions, states you need to burn off the gas in the fuel line before switching over to propane, this addressed the issue and the generator started up on propane.

Great Buy! 5 stars!

This generator was a life saver when we lost power for a day! Kept me from losing everything in my fridge and deep freezers! I power lights in my house, fridge, freezers, window ac, internet router, Tv to watch weather, and charge phones! Gonna buy another one. The ability to use either gas or propane is great.

I love it

Easy to use with 5 gallon propane tanks. Have not used with gas and do not plan to because gas is a gross mess. Arrived dented. The oil dipstick is cheap plastic, trying to find a metal dipstick with a magnet. Used the same motor oil I use in my SUVs: 5-30 Ultra Platinum and a few squirts of Hyperlube Zinc Replacement. Bought for backup in case the electricity goes out in the winter I can still run heaters and a stove top burner. The noise would be obnoxious though if running at night.
