Excellent Generator

We lose power periodically in East TX. I can run 2 refrigerators, counter top ice maker, coffee pot, 75 in TV, DVR, DVD player and router. It only holds a gallon of gas. It’ll run between 6 and 10 hours on 1gallon. Wife and I love it.

Runs very rough at idle, seems to smooth out under

Runs rough at idle. Also, bought in May 2025, sticker says it was built in Dec 2021. Seriously, I buy a “new” four year old inverter. Maybe that explains the rough idle if it’s been sitting for 4 plus years!! Not impressed.

Stupid Easy

I bought this for my RV after a lot of research. I am so glad I did. Very simple start up instructions and real easy to get going. It is power several items in my RV right now and works amazing.

Runs great, but…

I bought this one month ago to power 3 fog machines for a haunted woods walk. It died while on eco mode but ran well with eco mode off. I called in the problem and I have a case number for a resolution.

Works Like A Charm

I use this when the power goes out at my house. It's quiet, pretty fuel efficient, and is easy to set up for first use and starts up easily and reliably. Pretty straightforward product, does what it's supposed to. I have no complaints.

Camping generator

Just purchased this generator. I liked that it was configured for use with my pop-up camper. The instructions are straightforward and easy to comprehend.

Hard to start

This generator runs good when you can get it started. It's got all the power I need and it's quiet running. The worst part is is trying to start it. Pull and pull and pull and maybe it'll go. Broke the recoil cord after about five hours.

Wonderful Instructions

Instruction and operating manual is clear and concise concerning preparation for use and start-up safety features. Am in process of first use and expect first use and break-in will be as straight forward.
