Great power! Easy to use!

I recently purchased this generator due to pole upgrades in my neighborhood and losing power once a month. I'm so happy on how easy is to use and how much power it has! I plugged a fridge, two tv's and all my computer office equipment! It didn't budge at all!

Haven't needed it yet but....

except for the oil dipstick being in a really funky and hard to get to spot; setup was a breeze! I wish the manual told you how much oil you need but since it came with a bottle of oil that is 3/4 of a quart and that filled it, we're gonna assume 3/4 of a quart. Was a breeze to get it to start for the first time! Not too noisy, for a 4 cycle combustion engine.

Working good so far

We were moving out onto a peice of land we bough so we bough this to use as power till we get electric. We bought 4 months ago and it has saved us, it did everything we needed. We are having a little bit of a hard time finding replacement parts. We love it, it works good, wouldn't have been able to be out here without it.

Love it so far!

I have not tested the product yet but so far the experience has been great. It comes with wheels which are easy to assemble. I love that it has two options for fuel. The company includes a CO sensor and multiple warning labels regarding CO, which makes me feel like they care about the safety of their customers.

Dual Fuel Power

Just a few simple assembly items and an easy start from the get go. Solidly built with very good fit and finish. Really like the dual fuel capabilities. Will adequately power my travel trailer for remote camping and also plan to use it as a stand-by for power outages at home.

Happy with this purchase

I bought this to have peace of mind in the event of an emergency when power goes out. Luckily we haven't had to use it yet, but I am very pleased with our purchase. It has nice features and I like the dual fuel source of gas or propane. Whenever I test it, it always starts with ease. .

dual fuel is a great feature! no e start only neg

current runs a 100 gallon reef tank, 1000 gallon goldfish pond, 2 fridges, water heater, 9000 btu mini split, a small window unit, water heater and all my lights. And i can also use one other major appliance one at a time. ie dryer oven stove etc. everything but my 5 ton ac unit which would require closer to 16kw. Love the dual fuel option. I can run forever off a 30lb propane tank and not worry bout gunking up the carbeurator for next year. Run gas just when i need the extra 500 watts when trying to cook and clean clothes etc, otherwise propane is great. live in southeast tx with high humidity and hurricanes 2 of which hit near me. power was out for 5 days both times. generator ran solid. Only wish it had electric start for the wife, but its not too bad pull starting. usually within 2 pulls. removed the bonded jumper between ground and neutral like its says too in manual if supplying your breaker box. Meters shows 237 volts most of the time at 57-63 htz. I did not try to run computers or tvs on this one. Thinking of getting a small inverter genny at a later date for those items. Phone chargers and laptop chargers worked just fine though. Sure tvs would of been fine but did not take the chance.

Exactly What I Was Looking For

After going 9 days without power after Hurricane Beryl ravaged Houston and having to borrow my friends generator, I promised to buy one as soon as they were back in stock. The generator was super easy to put together! I appreciate that it comes with the tools and funnel needed to add oil and do basic maintenance. It’s very straightforward to use as well. This was the only generator of this size that I could find that offered duel fuel capability and was still reasonably priced. It fired up easily, switches between the two fuel sources seamlessly, and is quieter than some generators I’ve dealt with. Hopefully we won’t have to use it any time soon but it’s nice having the peace of mind that we’ll be able to power our necessities should we lose power again.

Powering our transfer switch during an outage

Bought this two years ago and using it for the first time during a power outage. It’s been going for 24 hours solid. We have it hooked up to a transfer switch that runs several things in the home, including the refrigerator, the well water pump, master bedroom, lights, and so much more. It has been a powerhouse so far and a lifesaver during a power outage. Highly recommend!
