Great price

I just set up the generator and it started and ran perfectly so far. Lots of nice features, such as remote start, battery charger while running, etc. The casing doesn't seem too durable, but for the price I can understand that. My thinking is that I can buy three of these and not spend as much as I would on one Honda, even though I am a big fan of Honda products.

Awesome!

Have had this gen since 06-15-18 have taken it on several camping trips with my fifth wheel and absolutely no issues at all. Purchased a cargo carrier and matching bag to protect the gen while on the road and LOVE IT! Also would recommend a gen tent for protection in inclement weather. Have had it to Yellow Stone and my mountain property in Montana (where the wind can be quite high) and no issues whatsoever. Highly recommend to follow the break in directions, used the oil provided for initial break in then I use full synthetic. My RV dealer was very impressed took many pictures and couldn't believe the sound level (or the lack of) he now has one on display. Couldn't be happier!

Goodt buy

I am a 79-year-old widow who lives alone. The power goes off often in our area. I really needed this generator and I know I am going to be happy with it. I am petite, but I have no problems rolling it around. It is easy to start , and it is going to be easy for me to do routine maintenance. The hardest part was lifting the generator high enough so I could read the serial number ( on the bottom) that is required to do this review. LOL.

Great features

I’m very pleased with the product. It didn’t take long to set up and I had it running in no time. The remote start and push button feature are very convenient and allow accessibility from inside the trailer. Overall, I am more than pleased with the product and would recommend it to anyone trying to find a great generator for your trailer.

Awesome Generator

I got this generator in January but haven’t used yet as it is winter and not camp season. It’s now April so I am getting ready for use. I filled with oil, fuel, and connected the battery. Unit fired right up both with push start on the unit and with the remote. I let run for 30 minutes to start the breakin period. The unit was quiet especially for the size. I didn’t test with a meter but it’s possibly a little quieter than my Generac 2200 watt inverter. Gave 4 star as I haven’t used at all to be able to give a five star rating. Also it’s nice to have the extendable handle but it feels flimsy like the handle on travel luggage. This unit is heavy so will just have to see how it holds up. Not concerned that handle will affect my like for the generator as the wheels seem big and sturdy.

Easy to Operate and Great performer

Purchased for use with my Travel Trailer RV. Able to easily run A/C, Microwave, and Coffee Maker at the same time with no performance issues. Item easy to setup and operate out of the box. Only suggestion for improvement would be another set of wheels on the end with the handle to make it easier to roll unit around. Telescoping handle seems somewhat flimsy but holding up so far after one use camping.

Happy

Perfect size for my camper, very quiet, fuel efficient, and love the remote start. I like all the features and gauges and clever little screw on funnel for no mess oil changes. Also, like the included battery charger, only thing I would change is some type of light indicating whether it is charging or charged but other than that I think it’s a perfect generator. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

GREAT BUY

Straight out of the box, added oil, put in gas, connected battery. Hit the start button and it fired right up. Hooked it up to a variable load, my camper with AC set to turn on and off, it ran over 5 hours on one gallon of gas. Very quiet frome 100 feet away you can't hear it run. Also love the self stowing handle.

Quiet unit

I just received the unit today . Packing was little beat up but nothing hurt in side box. I put in oil as recommended connected battery as directed turned gas on turned unit on pushed start button. Yes it started right up BUT the auto Choke never went off was running real rough. I had to take engine access panel off and manualy turn choke off then it ran like it should . I know i read other reviews about this chock setup having problems so time will tell . I will try starting it tomorrow when its cooled down and see what happens.
