Great Features with high output and a great price!

I bought this a month ago after California decided to start shutting our power off for "wind". It starts right up and has enough power for my house and then some. What I really like is the option to use propane instead of needing gas to sit around and go bad if I don't use it for a long time.

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!!]

Wish I had it sooner

Like most jere, went shopping after storms took power out for most of the day. Found this at a very decent price. The two fuel types is an added plus. Running the initial hour to get it settled i and shouldn’t have to worry about those outages again. Also talked 3 others into purchasing while there just by explaining some of the features.

Initial start up use

Purchased after review of the use capabilities for home backup and RV power. Appreciated the dual fuel option. Initial startup as expected. Instructions for assembly and running were great. Had problem with putting on frame feet. One nut was off center from the hole for the bolt, blocking the installation.

Life Saver

I live in Southern Louisiana. We bought this in March in anticipation of the 2021 hurricane season. We were without power after Hurricane Ida for nearly a week and the generator worked like a charm. We were able to run our fridge/freezer and phone chargers for small periods of time to keep things charged and cold. I also appreciate the fact it can run on propane as well as we learned it was tricky to keep it running because of the gas shortage due to the hurricane.

Life saver!

Bought my first generator after hurricane Helene hit in order to power our camper. We were out of power for a week but thanks to this generator my family was able to camp in the backyard comfortably. Haven’t tried powering it off propane yet but was excited to see it had that option which really comes in handy.

Love the Features, especially the propane

This is a great buy. I have used many generators over the years on Job sites, but I am really happy with this one. It is powerful enough to more than supply all my saws and tools, yet it rolls with only one person handling it. I really like the propane option. It has less fumes, it is less expensive to run, and I don't have to worry about draining gas out if I don't use it for a few months.

Easy to use

This is the first generator I've had. It's super easy to use. Love that it can work off gas or propane. Easy to move with the wheels. During a winter storm, we powered a fridge, two space heaters, lamps, electric blankets, computer charging, etc. When we tried 3 space heaters, it did blow the circuit, but we were running them all on the regular 110 plug. Was able to find the special generator cord online only, but didn't get a change to use it yet.

Second time is the charm

I bought one of these a few weeks ago. After two days of trying to get it to start I took it back. I thought I would try it one more time. The second one came in a box that was all torn up, but it seemed to be ok when I opened it. I put it together and pulled the rope. This time I got one that started. I hate the oil fill system and that it does not come with wheels and legs already mounted.
