Starts easy, and seems to supply power....BUT

I opened the package, assembled and started as instructed, no problems there. The system appeared to be generating appropriately so I decided to plug in a radio to my 110 outlet and that's when I noticed the outlet was not secured properly so when I tried to plug the radio in, the 110 outlet just pushed inside the generator protective housing.... I'm sure that's not the way the plug is supposed to function as it seems very unsafe and a clear shock hazard. The other outlets are solid and can be used, the engine started on the second pull, and assembly was very easy.

Trusting our generator works when it is needed

The generator was packaged so good that none of the parts got broken. Instructions were great when it came to putting on the feet and wheels. We got it our of the box and got it ready to use. The last hurricane we were blessed and didn't have to use it. I will give another review when and if we need to use it. Thanks for the good instructions.

Came As Expected

I was very pleased to receive the generator. It was packed well and 99% assembled. It's feels very sturdy and is very heavy. All good things. With the wheels and large handle, it's easy to move around. We have not ran it yet to test it but I assume it will be fine as it appears very well bit. I'll provide an additional update when I've had some time with it.

First storm as a single female

I bought the duel fuel generator last month because a storm was heading in my direction. I thought I wasn’t going to have to use it until my lights went out. The setup was extremely easy, but when it came time to start it up I couldn’t according to the manual. However, I googled it and it started. I used the propane fuel and I most say there wasn’t any gasoline smell or a lot of noise coming from the unit. Also the propane ran for about 13 hours or so. Then at one point I thought someone tried to steal it because it was so quiet. I’m pleased to say that I’m satisfied with my purchase and look forward to using it again.

Second time is the charm

I bought one of these a few weeks ago. After two days of trying to get it to start I took it back. I thought I would try it one more time. The second one came in a box that was all torn up, but it seemed to be ok when I opened it. I put it together and pulled the rope. This time I got one that started. I hate the oil fill system and that it does not come with wheels and legs already mounted.

Impressive

Bought because of power outage to replace older generator. The dual fuel is a great feature. Power was off for 40 hours and I ran this generator for 24 hours with a break every 8 hours to check the oil and give it a break. Not only did it not use a drop of oil but the ease of starting is amazing. Used exclusively propane and love the idea of not having to deal with gasoline and gummed up carbs. I powered 2 freezers, a refrigerator and several other items without any issues. Each tank of propane lasted over 12 hours. Simple to use right out of the box.

Lifesaver! A must-have if you live in Michigan

I have spent months contemplating whether or not to buy a generator. I've compared many brands at several retailers but when 60mph winds took out the tree in our backyard and the power line went with it. I was able to run this using both gas and propane. Switching between the duels was an ease.

Great size

Our power was off because of a tornado which came through Kentucky December 10, 2021. We decided to purchase this generator to save our food which was in the freezer. It worked great. We always said that we needed to buy a generator. There's nothing better than the decision being made for you.

Easy Setup / Easy Run right out of the box.

Add wheels, add no skid feet, gas up, oil up (takes nearly whole bottle...FYI), cranks right up. If it goes out after a couple minutes, it is likely in need of more oil. Check it on level surface with dipstick until you add enough to show on the stick.

Versaitie Generator

I bought this dual fuel generator not realizing how handy it would be. Living in Florida I always want a generator handy as once in a while we really need one for a few days in we have power off for a storm, then I always drain the fuel from the tank and carburetor so it will start the next time. With the propane fuel I can use it for odd jobs without having to drain the gas and get it ready for next time, much more useful than a standard generator!
