Very Quiet and Very Powerful

We bought this generator for our Coleman LT 17B travel trailer. It works great. Running the fireplace in this camper puts about 50% load on the generator, so plenty of room for more. I figure we can run both the fireplace / microwave or the A/C / microwave at the same time. Its really light to carry as well. I filled it with oil and gas upon arrival and it fired up on the second pull. The starter pull is very easy and smooth.

So far so good

Got this at the HD. Everything was in the box except gas. Literally followed the instructions, put the gas in it, pulled the cord once and started right up. Only had it a month but so far so good. I run my refer, tv and portable AC on it because California no longer has dependable power.

Took the side cover off to access the oil fill and the frame was broken which could have happened during shipping but one of the screws was stripped as if someone used a cordless drill or screw gun, This tells me that this thing has been returned before……… I have another generator coming from Sam’s Club next month and now I am concerned

Works for me.

Haven’t used it yet but set up was easy, access to oil and spark plug no problem. Started after several pulls but just hummed after that. Much cheaper than a Honda but might be just a little bit louder but not much. Also a 2500 w vs a 2200 w from Honda. Time will tell.

So far so good!

Having researched similar generators, settled on this model because of 2200 running watts. Rated only 4 stars because it came with a broken spark plug, which according to multiple reviews was an issue. Set up was easy and it ran smoothly throughout a 5/6 hour break low to medium loads. So far so good!

Works great

Had a power outage for a few hours and I was waiting for an excuse to fire up the new generator anyway so I filled it with oil and gas and it fired up on the second pull. Powered a refrigerator, tv, aquarium, and fan with more juice to spare. Nice and quiet as well.

Nice handy unit

The generator was in perfect shape when I unboxed it. The only problem I had was it didn't start after about 10-12 pulls so I took the side cover off and discovered the choke was not adjusted correctly. It was an easy fix. I loosened the screw that holds the choke cable and slid the choke arm to the full choke on position. With the choke on and it started in 3 pulls. So far it runs smooth and everything works as it should.

Nice product - slow customer service

Two generators received undamaged. One runs smooth and quiet thru break-in cycle (3 hrs.); the other only 1 hr. before overheating and shutting down. Question about rotating data display has gone unanswered for a week, so far, due to high call volume.

Great generator-inverter

I have just received my generator but everything seems to be well made. Hopefully it will serve me well. I like the features other than you have to unscrew 2 screws and pop the cover off to check the oil. I could see getting lazy about checking the oil.

Quiet

It is always a challenge not to interfere with neighbors, and this generator will aid in maintaining positive relations. Running a refrigerator and deep freeze barely effected the generator. I'm confident if necessary to run at length, powering home devices for our well fare will be met by this device.
