I just got this today through FedEx and I am so excited. I added oil, connected the battery, and added gasoline. I slowly pulled the starting cord just to get the oil moving around before I actually started the generator. After that I turned it on and used the remote start to start the generator and wow!! It immediately fired up and was soooo quiet it surprised me. I’ve read a ton of reviews on many inverter generators and this seemed to be the best for the wattage output. I can not wait to hook it to our camper this weekend. I am beyond excited about this generator, it seems very well built and I haven’t seen one blemish on it yet so far like some have seen when they unboxed it. I’m impressed so far and so are the kids and wife lol.

Pros: very pleasing color, compact and quiet. not too heavy. loved the wheels with retractable handle. and the front panel. Cons: no oil gauge. this could prevent spills. at least the initial oil provided should not have caused a spill. An index in the user manual would be nice as well.

I bought this generator last month. I love it so far! It runs my camper, one air conditioner 13500 BTU with no issues. I like all the readouts it has. Compact and easy to move at just over a hundred pounds with gas. I did have to take the case off and reattach a connector the came loose in shipping that controls the cold start/choke. Break in requires two oil changes I would recommend doing. I went with synthetic oil. 10w 30.

We bought this for our van. We have transformed it into a camper and with it being summer we really need and air conditioning. I love how quiet it is so we will not disturb the other camper around us. Will definitely recommend this to all our camping friends..

There is a spacer between the oil drain plug and the crankcase. The spacer is threaded into the crankcase and allows the draining oil to fall thru a hole in the bottom of the outer housing of the generator. On setting up the new machine, I decided to check the tightness of the drain plug. The plug was tight. The spacer - not so much. Just a bit more than finger tight, very little pressure on a small wrench and it was loose. I fear if I hadn't checked it, I could have lost all engine oil while running. Hopefully the "low oil" sensor would have shut the generator down before any damage was done. Also, reinstalling the drain plug is a royal pain. A red wire to the starter passing over the drain plug is not helpful, a longer bit of wire rerouted would make a big difference. I think we will like this generator and that it will serve us well. Quality assurance (read: tight drain plugs) and a little more thought on engineering would be more satisfying.

We just bought this generator and both my husband and myself, could not believe just how quiet it was, plus it was easy to start, even by pulling the cord. Battery was not charged up, but we have it on the charger and we don't expect any problems. The only con that we could come up with was that the oil was a bit awkward to put into the generator, but other than that we highly recommend this generator.

I decided I need an updated generator and after spending time looking through the myriad options locally and online, I landed on this one and I'm glad I did! Easy instructions to follow and with a simple push of a button, my new generator was cranking up with no effort! I love that this thing is not deafening and I won't have to worry about neighbors thinking it's too loud when operating. It's easy to move around with the built in wheels with pull handle built in. I have already used it in a few mobile situations and everyone loved it and I'll be in a much stronger position during longer than normal power outages in the future from hurricanes.

I was looking for an inverter generator that was quiet yet powerful enough to provide home backup for a gas furnace, some appliances and key lighting circuits. I had looked at other brands but they were either more or less powerful than I needed or weren't in my price range. I read a review of this model in consumer reports and decided this is the unit I need. It's VERY quiet, more so than I was expecting. Setup was very straight forward but a little messy (I overfilled the oil). And it started right up. Time will tell but so far I am really pleased with this purchase.

Great generator to use for RV boondocking! Love how quiet it is and easy to maneuver. It also lasted longer than expected. We were able to use it about an average of 12 hrs without filling up with gas. It also has a remote which is super convenient. Great purchase!

This is the first generator that I have ever bought and due to its' high reviews I thought it will work well for me. Setup of the generator was straight forward and easy. I tested the machine for several hours and decided that I would change the oil because "now" is a convenient time for me. I did not want to be tackling it for the first time during a power outage. I found access to the oil change plug very difficult to manage. The opening in the plastic case had a couple of sharp edges and it was a very tight area to get a wrench into and maneuver. It would have been MUCH EASIER if the access panel cover was a little larger on the lower left side. That would allow a socket wrench direct access to the oil plug screw and the process would save much time and scraped knuckles. The machine worked flawlessly even under the load of an electric heater and toaster oven and it was relatively quiet. Overall I am pleased with the generator but I am NOT looking forward to the next oil change.
