Great So Far

Purchased as a backup for direct wiring into the house during hurricane season. Have transfer switch all set up and generator test worked as desired. Will not attempt to run at full load until necessary but looks to be the right size for all appliances/lights with the excpetion of Washer/Dryer and whole house AC.

great feature

Needed for power outage during hurricane. Compact. Easy setup. Easy operation. sturdy but light enough for a 75 yr old woman to move with ease. Flexibility to use propane or fuel which in time of hurricane shortage offers more opportunity for maintaining refill storage.

Great Features for Price

I just bought this generator in preparation to not repeat last year’s Texas winter without power for a week straight. Have only ran the generator to test it so far but fired right up the first time on propane. I like having the option of gas or propane and 120v or 240v. It comes with wheels which is a major plus.

Damaged in shipping, customer service hangs up!

I bought this four days ago online through Sam's club. It gets to my house today I open it up and find the recoil starter was damaged in shipping. I call the support number and after a long phone tree, I'm put on hold. After a minute on hold, they hang up on me! Isn't that some bravo sierra!

Easy to put together and get running.

Out of the box and assembled easily. Started right up and had no issues so far. The oil funnel that was supplied is awesome since it threads in and has a rubber gasket to stop spillage and made oil filling painless. I live above 5000 feet and would have liked the high altitude kits to be supplied but over all I am happy I bought this unit. It seems to run fine at this altitude but after reading instructions I think I will get more performance with the kit installed.

Great reputation, great ratings

I purchased this generator after a lot of shopping. This seemed to be the best brand and this particular model was perfect for what I needed for emergencies. No regrets, it arrived in perfect condition and final assembly was easy. The manual is great and will help greatly in maintaining the generator.

Built to Last

I've only had the generator for a few days but it seems to be well machined and built to last. Nothing about it feels cheap or plastic-y and they include tools to service the engine as well as a comprehensive manual with diagrams and schematics. Will come update this review if I run into any problems in the future.

Works Great!!

I am a first time generator owner. I just bought this in expectancy of a winter storm. I love the power it has compared to other brands as well as the cost for the equivalent wattage. Quality built and very easy to understand how to use. I just wish it came with an hour meter, not a complaint, just a small suggestion.

Review

I purchased this simply because it will run off of propane. I never plan to run gasoline in it. I live in Florida. When we have a hurricane, we people here turn into the cast of the road warrior. I can run all of my freezers and refrigerators off of this unit with the same propane bottles I keep to cook with. Since this does not need fuel stabilizer, and I can store several bottles before the storm, and I can purchase others after the storm.

Well built.

Good build quality. Solid frame and this model has a lot of bang for the buck. Easy set up and straightforward to use. I will be using this generator to power a 1hp deep well pump. I plugged a power hungry circular saw in it and the noise barely increased. This is not obnoxiously loud, which is a big plus.
