Good generator at a excellent price

This little generator will surprise you for its size. Unpacked it filled with oil and non ethanol gas and fired right up. Have only used it with electric hedge trimmers in the yard and it worked flawlessly. Does the job intended for sure. Would have give it 5 stars if they had a better quality control at production.

Good Size, Good quality

After reviewing all the features on this unit, I purchased it when it went on sale at my club store. I'm happy to report, that it arrived in great shape, unlike some on the forum reported. No complaints with quality. Is convenient, with carrying handle, to take camping, as well as keep around the house for power outages. I'm still in the process of breaking it in and testing it, but so far I'm quite pleased.

Nice backup or camping generator

I bought this as a backup generator to use as a power source during power outages. I have used it only once and that was just to test it. The generator was easy to start and it ran fine with a 2000W load on it. The sound level was fairly quiet and wasn't objectionable even with the unit running right next to my back door.

Nice Inverter generator

I am very impressed with the completeness of the generator as received. It contained everything needed to start it up (except gasoline, lol.) Nice digital control panel, with readouts for all important operating parameters. Noise level is acceptable, but I wonder how far away they held their noise level meter when they measured their claimed 52 dB operating level.

Powers a 14000 btu A/C with no problems

Generator was bought to run a 14,000 BTU portable air conditioner. It has no problems powering or start up on 14,000 btu air conditioner. The air conditioner is a Whynter ARC-14S Duel hose portable A/C. Overall I am very pleased with the generator it is very quiet and fuel efficient.

Good value

This looks to be a very good value at the price paid. Easy setup, but I did have to order carburetor jet kit for high altitude as the unit is rated up to 2K elevation. Jets are avalable for eacy 1K additional elevation, but only up to 6K feet. I started and ran the unit at my 9K elevation with no problems, just doesn't need much choke! Seems to run ok so far. Satisfied so far and much lower price than some other units. Sound is ok.

Best Purchase Ever!

I bought this generator on a whim because we had been talking about getting one, and the price was good. Let me say... this generator saved us during the big snow/freeze in Texas where we lost electricity for three days. We hooked it up to our RV and it ran flawlessly for three days. Absolutely, hands down, the best purchase I have ever made!

Awesome Generator with lots of starting power.

Great Generator! Started right up and broke it in the proper way. It runs the 15,000btu air conditioner on our fifth wheel. It is pretty quiet compared to other generators I have had in the past. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a portable gen set that has lots of power and quiet.

Nice unit

Easy to operate. Simple instructions. Quiet running. I purchased for emergency use. Looks like a good unit to meet my electric needs if we lose power. Nice chart in instructions to show approximate power needs of typical household appliances (fridge etc)

Great buy

Everything works as described. Usually when you buy something on-line there always is something not quite what you expected. I can't think of anything to complain about for this generator. The price was right, the manuals were easy to read and the instructions were complete. After I filled the oil and gas it started on the second pull. I let it run for about 5 minutes and it purred like a happy cat. I intend to use it under load in the next few days and I will slend an update if it does not work as described.
