Nice compact unit, not too heavy so easy to manouver. It is quite quiet you can stand adjacent and carry out a normal conversation. Nice that it has 12v oulet, usb outlets as well as an eco mode. Starts well in the cold so far(-6 C )4 pulls. . Comes with everything you need except gas and an extension cord.

To be entirely honest I was amazed the generator even started after seeing the condition of the box it arrived in. The case of the generator was apparently damaged slightly where the front control panel is attached to the case but I didn't feel it would be a problem with the operation of the unit. I didn't have the opportunity to check the output voltage and frequency at this time but will get to that later. I took photos of the condition of the damaged box it arrived in and attached one to this review.

I'm very pleased with the purchase of this model Generac Inverter. Really like the dual fuel operation and its low noise level. The other features that did NOT disappoint is its mobility to move around with the clever pull up handle, makes it very easy to maneuver as I'm a senior citizen. Also, pleased with having both the electric start and pull start option should the battery get weak/fail. I purchased this to have an emergency backup for electric to our home in case we lose power during storms. Didn't want to spend $12K - 15K for a whole home generator system. This unit will run a full circuit in our home along with the gas furnace/blower. I'd give the 5 Stars if it weren't for the battery hookup experience when I first received this unit. When I hooked up the battery it wouldn't work, however pull start worked fine and unit ran fine. I read through the manual, and everything was hooked properly to the battery. I made 2 calls to the Generac 24/7 hotline/support and they were -0- help. Checked the battery, figured it was bad, but to my surprise it was good. Next, check the wiring leads to the battery from the unit. Heck, there was an inline bypass on both Positive & Negative battery leads. Took 5 seconds to switch both. Smart idea by Generac to keep battery from draining until units are sold to a customer. BUT, C'mon Generac, put this info in your User Manual or attach note to battery leads and make your hotline phone service people know!

I purchased this portable for use with my ice house instead of my large 1998 Generac 5000 watt which was overkill though, "If you own it use it" thought process. Oil and gas were added for a quick test run prior to it's first fishing trip. Two pulls and this unit was off and running great. My personal experience is one of complete satisfaction especially when this unit ran for 8-1/2 hours on one tank of gas on economy setting and responded to load instantly when needed. Quiet operation, efficient, and thus far very dependable. Generac, thanks for providing great power products!

Bought 3months ago and impressed with the product.

Unit works as intended with no issues. Seems well made

Did not run right. Received as a gift. Repair shops only work on ones they sell. Ordered a new carburetor installed it my self.

Good machine. Not too hard to start , only negative is filling with oil it is hard not to get the oil inside the machine. Glad I purchased it.

Between hurricanes and ice storms, we have power outages about 4 times a year that last longer than 8 hours. I bought this inverter for one reason: to power our freezer!! Does the job and even gives me a lamp or two when it is dark.

Bought at Menards used for the first time 30 days after and it would shut down when any load was applied, had to get it serviced not replaced. Works fine now but would have preferred a new one not waiting 4 weeks fir a repair
