Easy Initial Open

Bought this yesterday, haven't had a chance to put it through it's paces but the unboxing and prepping for use was a breeze. The tools necessary for assembly of feet and tires were included as was the oil. Just need to provide the gas and you're good to go.

Excellent value

I bought this to replace an old B&S powered 5000 watt generator that I was constantly having to repair. This one started first pull out of the box and is much quieter than my previous dinosaur. I honestly don’t see how you can build a complex machine like this and have it delivered to my home at this price point….very happy with my purchase.

Ideal Back up power for our bus

We live full-time in a school bus conversion with a solar setup, but you always have to have a backup plan. This generator is awesome! I love that it can run on gas or propane if we’re in a pinch, and it’s super user friendly and seems well made. Portable and sturdy, it will have our backs for this adventure!

Great instructions!

As for your example, it's more like we bought it, expecting delivery, 04/21/22! the generator arrived today, 04/14/22; just as we are facing extreme bad weather!! So, the generator is giving us "peace of mind"; not knowing what this weather forecast is going to bring us!!

Excellent Customer Service

The first generator I received had been damaged in transit. It must have been dropped as the frame was bent, which made the wheels rub the frame when installed. I was concerned there might be hidden motor damage as well, so I requested a replacement. This was completed and a replacement generator received within 10 days. The replacement is fine. I will begin the break In process this weekend. I noted a previous review that changed the oil multiple times until it was clean (no metal shavings) so I will do that. I also purchased gas stabilizer to extend the life of the gas in the generator and the gas tank up to two years.

Easy Installation and Works Perfectly

The instructions are very clear to follow and there are minimal components to assemble to get it started. The price is one of the best I’ve seen and it is worth every penny. Feel a lot more secure with this generator for any power outages in the future. It is a must buy. Highly recommend!

Great Value

This generator is a great value, especially since it is dual fuel! I put everything together and fueled it - started very easily on both gasoline and propane. I feel much more comfortable as winter approaches knowing I can run essential household needs in an emergency.

Great buy so far!

Arrived via fed ex in excellent shape. Assembly was super easy. The generator started easily on the 1st pull running on propane. We have only put a light load on it so far and it works fine. Volt meter works well on both 120/240. Can't wait to use it more!

Excellent Generator

Bought this in preparation for hurricane season and ended up needing to power my house for 24 hours. This generator was a life savor. It was easy to use and it fired right up after adding gas and oil. I’ve done one oil change so far and it was very simple. Overall great product for the money.

I purchased this generator at the end of Dec. 2022. We've been having issues with no power in the summer months, and this generator looked like it would work well for us. We actually ended up needing it (Feb. 2023) sooner than we thought. Worked great, started right up and it is surprisingly quiet.
