Great little generator

I purchased this generator when we were less than 24 hours from a hurricane threatening our coast. I didn't end up needing it then, but when the freeze hit Houston in Feb 2021, I tore it out of the box, threw some oil in it, and started it right up. I love that I can run it on gas or propane, as there are times that gas is not available. This is a great generator with plenty of power for the necessities, without being too big to handle/maneuver.

So far so good...

We purchased this generator in preparation for the upcoming winter season, so I reserve the privilege of updating my review. For now I'm giving it a probationary 5 stars. I set it up according to the instructions and decided to use propane for my initial test because using gasoline would've involved adding fuel stabilizer and dealing with potential gunk later since there remains at least three months before winter. It started on the 4th or 5th pull and I was pleasantly surprised to discover it's much quieter than I expected. I let it run for a couple-few minutes, then put my multimeter on it. 244 volts: perfect! Next I plugged it into the inlet box on the back of our house, and energized the emergency sub panel. I plugged in a 120 volt 1000 watt heat gun. The engine speed dipped for a moment, but bounced right back up again, no problem. The real test comes when the utility goes down.. I shall keep you posted. But so far so good 👍

Motor vibrates

Bought this for when our power goes out. Started it to make sure it ran and when I cranked it up the motor vibrated the entire time it was in idle. When it was put into throttle it smoothed out some. This was while it was hooked up to propane. I have not tested it with gas yet.

Well built and quiet!

Bought this generator for my business and happy that I did. We needed a quiet generator that could power a fryer and run 240V. This one checked the box and we were very happy when we used it. Its very well built, and a good looking generator. The only issue we had was that the clip on the air filter was found broken when unpacking. That was quickly resolved with a call the the customer service line and the new part is on the way. Very happy with it.

Runs on Propane

Was looking for something to get me through occasional power outages in a rural area, but didn’t want to have to deal with fuel stabilizer for gasoline all the time. It works like it says and was super easy to get started up. I am happy with my purchase.

Wonderful Generator

This generator fired up on 3rd pull. Not as loud as other generators. Nice compact size. So glad I purchase this for winter months or any power outages. I was able to put the wheels on by myself in less than 5 minutes. Everything you need is in the box except the gas & propane tank.

Dual fuel option is awesome!

I have a small collection of propane tanks laying around. Because this generator can use propane, I have filled up the tanks in case of emergency. They can be stored indefinitely and the propane won’t go bad like gasoline will. I love having options!

A lifesaver after a series of tornadoes

We bought two generators last month after losing power from a series of tornadoes. The dual fuel made it easy to hook up our existing propane tanks. They are easy to start for my wife. Without the generators our sump pump would not have ran and our basement would have flooded. We were able to keep the fridge, freezer and some lights going too without any problem.

Great generator

This generator has everything I need in a nice looking package. The built in handle and no flat wheels are great for easily moving it. The generator starts easily. The dual fuel feature is nice. I'm planning to mostly use propane so I don't have to worry about the carburetor getting dirty. The fuel bowl has a drain which is good for storage if you use gas. All the outlets have tight fitting rubber covers which will keep water out when operating in the rain.

Great Initial Impression

I haven't yet used the unit but am so far very happy with the purchase. The value for money is strong compared to other brands. I am very happy with the features, build quality and documentation provided. It took me less than 15 minutes to assemble and my unit started up on the first pull.
