Great Features

Pleased with all the options. Minor issue in getting it started because the automatic choke became disconnected. Can start manually but need to remove cover. Once I found online how to reconnect automatic choke it has worked wonderfully.

Great features

I bought it a week ago and don’t know how it works but has very good reviews. I’m not to happy the fact that we have to open the side and connect the cable for the choke.

Light Weight Portable Generator

Bought this portable generator for the back of my 26.6 ft Jayco Eagle Travel Trailer to provide power when RV parks are not available. It has been a valuable asset when traveling back and forth to our summer and winter homes!

Didn’t work out of box

Purchased new. Followed startup procedures. Wouldn’t start. After doing my own research, found auto choke unplugged. Machine runs better. Customer support would never get back to me.

PLENTY OF POWER

Exactly what I needed for boondocking in our RV. Will power our RV without a problem. Quiet and responsive throughout all loads. Excellent construction, and the remote start is very handy.

Easy setup and start

I just received this item and was able to easily setup and start the generator. Being able to push a button to start the generator is great. The digital read out is very helpful. Overall, very impressed!

Great generator for the money

I haven't used it yet but the features are such that would only be found on more expensive generators according to my extensive research. I'm now well-prepared for any power outages.

Quiet inverter

I purchased this in September. I used it in the hurricane here in Florida. No problem, phone quiet then I let my friends borrow it. Four towns over very good. They are going to purchase a western house frame 12 5K.

seems to work as described

seems fine except I'm confused why it can't be used in rain? when do you think you will need a generator. Also what good is remote start if you are supposed to unplug all loads before starting??
