Awesome Looking Generator

I haven't started the generator up yet. I just unboxed it, and assembled the wheel kit. I found a few small issues when unboxing it. The first one was there seems to be a small amount of oil all over the machine I am assuming to help prevent rust. The second issue is I noticed the bottom of the generator had some scratches on it. It looks like it has been dragged across the floor scuff some of the paint. The other two issues was the fuel gauge that is mounted on the top isnt lined up straight and the plastic that covers the face of the generator has already been removed. All minor issues, anxious to start it up and see how it runs.

Easy to use

I represent One Fellowship United Methodist Church. We were in need of a generator for our outdoor celebrations and festivals and Vacation Bible school. We were worried that it would be a complicated process to assemble and utilize the generator. But the instructions were so clear and easy to understand. We were able to power the outside lighting and (most importantly) the bouncy house for the kids!!! This generator is a great acquisition for our church.

Great Emergency Generator!

Got this for a hard freeze in December. Luckily didn't need it, but went ahead and tested thoroughly and "broke" it in like the instructions recommended. Ran our full size refrigerator, short deep freeze, a floor lamp and both of our FlashFish portable power stations for later use. Did that for 6+ hours and everything worked great and the FlashFish got a full charge just as if they were plugged into the home A/C. Love it and the fact that we didn't spend thousands on a Generac that's only needed occasionally. And feel some much more secure now with possible future Southeast Texas outages from hard freezes and/or hurricanes.

Good running

Just received and tried with propane first...didn't run well and found out not to open propane with full on..ran better. Runs very well on gasoline. Only drawback is not electric start but maybe can't with the propane?? Time will tell this hurricane season which is almost here.

Dual Fuel

Bought this portable generator as a backup to my standby generator. I opted for the dual fuel to keep from having to deal with gasoline while exercising it. Tested both 120V and 240V under load and found it to be acceptable. Actual voltage was 122V and 244V with no load which matched the volt meter. Frequency was a 62.3 Hz and also matched the meter on the generator. Also, much quieter than my other backup generator which is 20 years old. So far so good.

I bought this product 6 months ago and after finally using it for the first time I was let down as it had a hole in the fuel tank and I was forced to endure 3 days without electricity in the humid texas summer and after further inspection I found a broken line too

Excellent Generator

Bought this to help power house during power outages. Easy setup and startup. Worked great using propane; havent tried gas. Interface and controls are easy to use and very helpful. Smaller than others that create the same wattage. Looking forward to the next outage when I can use it

Complete with Accessories

I bought this in anticipation of severe wind storms. We configured it for use with a utility transfer switch or interlock in our case. Instructions and photo were clear for removing the jumper to provide a floating neutral. Good general operation & Maintenance instructions. Easy to assemble the included wheel kit. Happy to find it came with Regulator, Oil, Funnel and Tools. Hooked it up to a 20lb propane cylinder and it started on 1st pull. I'll probably buy another, as we're on a farm 1/10 mile from the rode and utility power is fragile with all the trees.

Good Generator

I like the dual gas feature in the event of emergencies. Lubricate the bolts prior to attaching the mounting foot. It is very tight to the point that the bolts would not screw in. I was worried that the bolt would snap and after wishing some WD40 I had no troubles.

Great so far

I bought this just yesterday and cannot attest to functionality yet. However, I am impressed with the quality of material and buildout. Easy to install feet and wheels, components and parts do not feel cheap. Came with everything needed to start it up minus the fuel. Will break in the my generator for an hour later today.
