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.

Awesome so far!

We bought this in preparation for another winter power outage in Texas. We bought this for the dual fuel feature combined with the nice specs. While testing, we were able to run all of our lights (LED), both gas heaters in our 3000 sqft house, all 7 ceiling fans, both refrigerators, all of our TV's and game systems, both pool pumps AND charge our electric car at 3 miles per hour. We did this all on using propane and we had around 500 watts left till maximum running rating for propane. The generator worked well for heavy testing and we are feeling prepared in case ERCOT has any issues during winter this year.

Worked great OTB for 2021 Texas Snowmagedon!

I bought this little generator for for a couple of reasons. 1. we camp a lot and are looking to get a small camper. We can use this travel trailer ready unit for both camper and primitive style set ups for any of our power needs. 2. As seen on tv, we in Texas were being warned of snow and very low temperatures for a long period of time, resulting in scheduled power roll outs and the possibility of losing power for days. This generator was put to use almost immediately. It comes with everything you need to start it up, just need gas or propane. Being a dual fuel is another feature that made my choice easier from other brands. I followed the start up instructions, let run for 1 hour before pulling a load and began using it our first day of power outage. We stayed warm, entertained and with warm meals. It is a little louder than I expected but it rocked and rolled providing us more than what we needed to make it through the storm. It’s a little heavy and awkward with a full tank of gas, and the plastic non rubber wheels, but it is def manageable. And easy enough to operate, my wife and kids could start it up when needed on the days I was at work. Also, I ended up picking this thing up while in my car and I was still able to get it in the back seat. As mentioned, it’s a little on the heavy side and I should have had help, but it will fit in a 2020 Subaru WRX back seat with a little hope and determination. I do feel I would like to have gotten one a little smaller, but I think this generator will be a great addition to our family.

great product

We purchased this generator prior to Hurricane Ian. We live in Southwest Florida in Port Charlotte. We used this product daily for 7 days, running 10 hours a day. We powered kitchen fridge and a power strip. The power strip was used to charge phones and run fans.

So far, so good

Unpacked the unit, installed wheels and feet and connected propane tank. Fired up and ran for a few minutes. Then poured some treated fuel in the tank and ran it on gasoline for a few minutes. Didn’t yet apply any load but it looks like it’s ready to go for the next time we lose power.

Great product!

Glad i purchased this! Its a little heavy to move before you put the wheels on but once they are on its a breeze to move. Got it out the box and put the oil in it and it fired right up after a few pulls. havent tried the propane yet but im sure there wont be any issues. Great product and a good price as well.

Dual Fuel Generator

I purchased this generator prior to hurricane season. Last year we were without power after 2 major storms. What made me select this generator was the fact that it is Dual Fuel - both gasoline and propane. When the power is out in our area, we cannot always get gas. It is nice to have the option to use propane.

Perfect for times of Need!

This generator came in hand in our times of need! Our lights went out and I was able to assemble the unit and have it up and running within 20 minutes. It powered all of our essential units needed to keep our family warm from our winter storm. Excellent and reliable product!

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!
