Good power at a great price

We bought this generator to help in case of power outages during storms, and as a backup power source for our RV. It was really simple to put into operation, and started right up in both gas and propane. The included toolkit kept me from digging through my toolbox, and it even includes a funnel to help pour the oil. Literally everything you need to start except the actual fuel. Haven’t used on our RV yet, but tested it on our household power items (heater, fridge, etc…) and it works great. Not as quiet as an inverter generator, but no louder than a lawnmower.

Easy to read use manual, easy to start

I set up the generator outside my garage and used it to power my table saw and Miter saw. I was able to complete my project without a lose of power. I ran out of gas on one occasion but was able to easily switch over to propane so I could finish my project. It was not as loud as I thought it would be.

GREAT UNIT

Just got a few days ago and found out easy to set up. Storing outside with a pan cover on top to keep water off and placed on a auto drip pan to keep the bottom dry. When I need it I will move to different location. Setting it up with a transfer switch to my main panel with six different brakers. Looks like this unit will work great. The price was in line with others with the same output.

Heavy but easy to use

I have never owned or operated a generator before this one, and just set it up today to run on propane. I am a 225lb 40-year old male and have in the past operated some outdoor equipment which requires a pull start. I think this started on the 6th pull with the choke set to On. I was concerned about starting it up but it really wasn't an issue.

Affordable prices, easy assembly and will built!

Very happy with this product may even buy another one. Easy to operate. Very excited about the dual fuel. Much easier to carry propane. Doesn't have the smell of gas When transporting in my van. Awesome product! Very smooth operation and voltage is prefect.

Awesome generator!

I bought this generator about 2 weeks ago just in time before Hurricane hit and was DEFINITELY worth it and such a life saver!! Instructions were super easy to follow on how to turn on. Also came with maintenance guidelines which was super helpful in making sure keep it running. I know wattage number seems low but it kept my fridge, window ac unit, tv, outlets and stove running! Once we were all done was easy to put away.

Everything we Needed

We purchased this earlier this month after careful research. Upon arrival, we were delighted at the ease with which we were able to assemble the frame. Furthermore, the instructions in the manual are easy to read and clear. We look forward to having and relying on this as need arises!

Great generator

Purchased during hurricane Helene aftermath, no power so far 8 days. It’s got great power, really more than we needed. I like the dual fuel option, we used propane as we don’t care to store gasoline around the house. My only complaint, which is why it got 4 stars is that it is not easy start… I had to have my neighbor come and start it for me each day as I just had a hip replacement and could not pull the rope hard enough to start the generator. It took 10-20 pulls to get the thing started but once it was running it did its job.

Lifesaver during Texas Artic Freeze

Purchase this product in February 2021 during the Texas Arctic Freeze. This generator has the ability to run on propane or gasoline. That is a great option. We used the propane option to run lights, a refrigerator and a portable heater. When we ran out of propane, we switched to gasoline.

Good for beginniners

We purchased this generator to power our refrigerator and some small fans during hurricane season or inclement weather. Although we have not needed to actually use the generator yet, it was easy to set up, the instructions are easy to understand, and the size is small which is good for storage in our garage. The generator can be used with either fuel or propane which makes this ideal for people living in areas that are affected by weather based supply shortages.
