Due to Covid, I have been living off grid for about a year. I run my generator for 6 hours every 3 days in order to charge my lithium batteries, and it has met all of my expectations. The electric start is great, and I have only used the pull start twice, when it was well below zero. I would definitely buy again. My only concerns are for me, I find the fuel remaining display hard to understand and don't use it. My only other comment is that the spark arrester got supper dirty and clogged up to the point that it made the generator very hard to run. I removed mine and have not had any issues since.

I purchased the 3500 IO back in 2020 in Texas. To date I have 7558.7 hours on the unit, it went through the Big Freeze in Texas, kept my neighbors homes heated during power outages. This unit has had the oil changed every 250 hrs (30W), Lucas upper cylinder gas additive occasionally, a new pull cord at 5800 hrs and a yearly plug change. I recommend this unit for all your uses up to 25 amps, it hasn't let me down. Great unit

I purchased this to use at an off the grid tiny house and really wanted something quiet. This works perfect for a quiet power source. The only thing I’d like to see addressed is having the oil drain out of the bottom instead of the side. The side drain isn’t very user friendly.

I bought this portable generator about a year-and-a-half ago and I start it regularly it but when it idles it runs very very rough I don't know if that's normal or not you put a load on in this moves it out but at an idle runs a very rough with new gas cuz somebody please let me know if that's normal or not thank you very much

I bought this unit for a month long trip. This thing turns off after a very short time displaying"overloaded" no matter what you do. I tested it with just a 1500 watt coffee pot and same result... "overloaded" Very dissatisfied with this product as it left us without power for a majority of our trip which was 80% dry camping. Don't recommend

I think its a great generator, however it was damaged upon delivery. The housing cage was bent and the panel also a little bent up. Normally I would have sent it back but needed it ASAP. Overall it runs great but was extremely disappointed with the damage upon delivery.

After spending a lot of time researching different generators this is the one we bought. It has a lot of the features that the more expensive ones have and it is very well priced for those options. The best part is hearing or I should say is not hearing it in action. It is very quiet and does the job.

Power was out from 8PM on Wednesday to 11:30AM Sunday. This little machine ran flawlessly with nothing more than a couple refuels. Ran my furnace, refrigerator, a couple lights, my TV, and my CPAP machine with barely a hiccup. Ran for over 8 hours if not 10 on a single fuel up. Just need to change the oil and check the spark plug so it's ready for a monthly test and hopefully stays in the garage for a very long time. Good to know it is there when needed. Maybe a camping trip or two this summer!

Opened the box to a brand new one thousand dollar generator. Everything looked great. Not a blemish anywhere. Started assembly and all is well. Wheels installed no problem. Handle, added oil, connected battery, gassed up, started and ran beautiful; again no problem. First time moving on wheels; problem. Both wheel brackets broke free from all but one weld. Impossible to move more than six inches without backside wheel pigeon toeing into the muffler. Hurricane Delta was fast approaching to my area of south Louisiana so I wasn’t about to return a good running generator. I would tough-out the inconvenience and deal with it after the storm. I wasn’t about to return the 200 pound unit and spend the time assembly another. The generator turned into a thousand dollar stand-by insurance policy. I’m otherwise happy for making the purchase. I’m not the first one to experience the weld breaks after reading reviews. Serious consideration for a Generac whole house standby generator purchase is now in jeopardy unless my complete satisfaction with warranty claim is made.

Bought this generator to power my RV for off grid camping. Have only been out with it once so far but are very impressed with it. Starts like a dream and easily powers my AC and other things. Runs very quiet on economy mode. My only suggestion is that it needs wheels since it’s quite heavy to lift.
