Just what I needed

Bought this to replace a generator that had been damaged during Hurricane Irma in 2017. There's a storm heading our way right now and I feel good about this purchase. Haven't had a chance to use it much yet but so far it has been easy to start and seems to work well.

GREAT FEATURES FOR PRICE

Have not had a chance to run any major loads yet, but so far so good. All I had to do was put the wheels on, fill with oil (included, plus a nice threaded funnel) and fire it up. I used propane to test it. Took about 5 cranks but fired right up and ran fine. Tested small load and worked with no issues. Hoping this continues and operates great. Going to hook it up to my panel to run most of the house in case of emergency.

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.

Worked Great

I needed this generator on Wednesday night as the power went out. It was still in the box and with flashlights, I had it up and running in about 10 minutes. It worked flawlessly. I am glad I bought the dual fuel option as the propane was do easy to attach and start. I would definitely recommend this generator to anyone in the Gulf Coast region.

Just unboxed and setup

Like the features of dual fuel. Intend on replacing gasoline only unit. This will be used as a household backup. Upon reading the user manual this unit has a 120v/240v switch. Meaning only one output or the other, not both at the same time, and user cannot switch the output while the unit is running. The other feature is the ground/neutral bonding strap inside the generator cover. The strap is in place and should be removed if connecting to a transfer switch for whole house 240v operation. Nice and compact unit, mostly assembled. I still have to hook it up to the propane and run for an hour unloaded to break in the engine.

Assembled in the dark...

We had a power failure that affected our entire town, and the heat index made this an unsafe situation for both my husband or me. Encouraged by the reviews, we drove to Sam's and bought this generator. By the time we got home, it was dark. My husband managed to assemble the generator with very little help from me. (I held the flashlight.) The generator started with no problem, and we were in the process of connecting it to a fan and our refrigerator when the power came back on. Next time the power fails, we will be ready.

Great generator for the price and features

Bought my generator three days ago it was easy to put together in less than 10 minutes fired it up with propane let it run for a short time with a small load of 2000 watts. I was impressed at how quiet it was and very little noise level change after hooking up small appliances to test. Right now without long-term usage I would recommend this generator with confidence

Easy set up and Use.

I bought this yesterday because of a horrible wind and rain storm here in Maine. Multiply days with no power was forecasted. I have been through something similar and decided not this time. I was able to get it set up in running in a matter of minutes. It ran all night long and it continues to run, I have turned it off and checked oil and refilled gas but I am so pleased and it's easy for me to use. I am a single middle aged woman. Thank you for making it easy for me to use.

Just In The Nick Of Time!

We suffered a 14 hour outage last Sunday, which resulted in us losing everything in our refrigerator. I immediately ordered this generator the following day. We received the item 2 days later and within 48 hrs suffered another outage. The generator fired up in three pulls after following the start guide sticker on the fuel tank. It ran strong powering my refrigerator, sump pump, a table lamp, 2 laptops, and several phone chargers. I'm not sure why I never purchased a generator before, but glad I chose this one.
