Features & Price

I bought this generator to supply electricity to selected appliances and lights during power outages. After determining my needs and researching found this generator fit all my requirements and was within my budget. I now have it all ready to power up when needed. Very happy with purchase for now.

Good bang for the buck

I looked at several big box stores, and compared prices among several brands. For wattage vs cost, this generator was the best value. Assembly was very easy. The necessary basic tools are included, and the wheels attach with cotter pins. Assembly took maybe 5 minutes. Oil comes drained and will need to be filled with the included oil bottle. The generator fired up on the first pull. Idled just fine for a few minutes. I only tried using a 1/2" impact wrench to remove/install a trailer tire, although it was purchased for hurricane preparation. Whenever I pressed the trigger on the impact wrench, the engine would very briefly hiccup but ran fine overall, and otherwise had no electrical or engine issues. I assume that's normal when applying an electrical load. It's certainly not quiet, but I would guess that most aren't. It's my first generator, and at this time I have no regrets. As long as it keeps doing what it's doing, you can't really beat the price, and the 3-year warranty seems fair.

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.

Great Generator

I bought this generator to be ready for winter and icy weather. I put oil in it and hooked it up to a propane tank, pulled the rope 3 times and it fired right up. It is not too loud but it does sound like a generator and run very smooth. It is the perfect size to run the essentials needed if we loose power.

So glad we got this!

I've wanted a generator for a long time, then finally decided to get one just before x-mas, as a self gift. Then in January, big snow storm and we lost power for 4 days. So glad we decide to get this generator. Pretty simple to set up. Took about an hour since it was my first time doing this, so took my time and re-read the instructions like 3 times, lol. It powered right up. I used it to power our fridge and run the furnace overnight. basically ran it for 2 days straight with no issue, and still had plenty of gas left.

Great Features

I got this model because of the dual fuel options. Having ability to hook up propane has added a great feeling of security. I primarily purchased to run my mom’s oxygen condenser during outages. It’s perfect having that extra margin of available fuel.

Great Dual Fuel Unit

My wife bought this for me as a Christmas present. The dual fuel option is great so that I don’t need to keep large amounts of gasoline on hand. Spare propane tanks are easy and convenient to have around for grill and fire pit. The unit had a dented alternator cover but customer service helped me register the unit and get a new cover shipped after confirming the unit worked correctly. I recommend this product for your emergency power needs. Easy to operate. Good to have for charging items when power is out.

Easy to assemble and store

Opened my generator today and it took about 15ish minutes assemble the few parts it had. It came with the majority put together and in good shape. It is heavy but with the wheels and handle, it is easy to transport and move around. We also have some built shelving and it fits well under the last row of shelving, on the ground.

Outstanding generator

This generator is a great one to have. I purchased this almost a year ago or maybe more to actually take to my RV by the beach. Living in hurricane prone area prompted the first purchase of a generator over 25 years ago. Stayed in garage on top of my large generator that has 2 flat tires. Being a little ol’ lady, moving the big generator was not going to happen. Wheels on this one are the never flat type. The same will be going on the big generator soon. But back to the program. I just experienced a heck of a storm on 05/16. No power for 5 days. So out comes this baby. Wheeled it to the back yard. Plugged in the house. Presto! Power, not strong enough to run central A/C, but ran the portable A/C just fine. Along with my 2 freezers and 2 refrigerators. Even able to do laundry and run my coffee machine. All at the same time! It ran for almost 9 hours on 4.7 gallons of high octane gas. On standby I had two 20lb propane tanks. For the “just in case” I did not feel like getting more fuel. I am so very happy with this purchase. Very efficient and easy to start. Even for a little old lady like me. P.s. just remember to turn off the petcock valve to ensure all fuel runs out of the generator and to always treat your fuel with a stabilizer for storage. Start your generator at least once a year to ensure its there for you when in need.

Nice System

Purchased this about a month ago and used it the same day it arrived due to a 19 hour power outage. Timing couldn't have been better. I use propane and decided to use the pull start the first time. It started on the second pull. Very nice unit and decent price. Haven't tried the remote yet.
