You can't beat this for the price. I bought 2 this year for our hurricane parties. One ran 2 refrigerators and a Tv. The other ran an 8000 btw portable ac 4 fans and a handful of lights. run on eco mode I filled them up twice a day and ran for 5 days straight for both hurricanes.

Great Little Generator. I was able to power my fridge and my laptop with 2 monitors and lights. Very efficient 0.9Gal in 9 hours with all my load about 400-600W. We had no power for 7 days after Milton.I used about 2 gallons a day 18 hours runtime with 6 hours off at night. Spend 14gal of gas from one of my cars.

Like all the features. It starts really quick and runs quiet. I made my purchase after seeing my son satisfied with his after a few camping trips.

Purchased 2. Both were packaged well (no leaking oil, etc.). Quick setup (had both running in less than 10 minutes each). Nice and quiet.

Starts with one pull everytime. Had to change sparkplug after 200hrs of use, but amazing machine. Has features that Honda doesn't have at $1200 dollars. Great investment!!!

I have a 6kw generator but I wanted a small generator that I could quickly deploy. I can carry it one handed. It starts with a very easy pull. I added a single transfer switch to my boiler so I can have this providing heat in minutes. I tested and it can run a 10k btu window ac, a refrigerator or a compact microwave. I did not try everything at once, I have the big generator for that. It won't run a full size microwave, they use more juice than a fridge or a small window ac. It runs fairly quiet too. For the price, I'm very happy with this. Things I wonder about... Will it last? Will parts be available in a few years? For 1/3 the price of the famous red generator, I guess I can consider this 'done' if it lasts 5 years. The oil did look fresh after the 5 hour break in. Things I dislike... To check the oil, you have to remove 4 screws and unsnap the side. Not terrible but nobody is going to do that every time they use the generator. Unsnapping the plastic side could be risky in very cold weather. It has usb ports but a 12v car plug would be more versatile. There is only one standard outlet. The low idle switch is a soft touch button, not a flip switch. You need to remember to turn it off every time if you will be running bigger motors. It's awkward changing the oil. You must remove the side panel and tip the generator to it's side and pour the oil out the fill hole. The included flexible screw-in funnel makes this do-able but you will need to set the generator on the edge of a bench to collect the oil. Pro tip... Before using the included oil, mark the oil level on the side of the bottle. Refill with fresh oil for the next change. Dump it all right in after draining the oil while the funnel is still connected. The level will be perfect.

Thought maybe I got a lemon. When I opened the box & removed a few cover to look it over & add oil I found the spark plug was broken. Also a gasket on the panel around the exhaust was installed wrong. But so far so good after replacing plug & fixing gasket. Only have about an hour on it, but seems to be good. I was surprised it ran a 10000 btu portable a/c unit. No problem.

The generator works well after initial troubles with a fuel leak. I took it out of the box and added oil per instructions. I then added about 1/2 gal of gas and followed the instructions to start. When I turned the dial to "On", fuel started to flow out of the bottom. I turn the dial back to off the fuel flow stopped. I called the 800 help desk number and was told that the carburetor drain screw may be loose. I removed the air filter cover and located the screw, I tried tightening the screw and it did the same thing when turning the dial to on. I then removed the air filter assembly, located the clear drain tubes which there are two. One is connected to the drain screw and one is connected to the carburetor overflow. In my case the fuel was coming from the clear drain tube on the right which is the overflow tube. I then removed the fuel line from the carburetor and plugged the fuel line to stop the flow. I then drained the bowl by loosening the drain screw. I then removed the carburetor bowl to check to see if the float was stuck. I worked the float up and down to insure it wasn't stuck. I reinstalled the bowl and fuel line, replaced the air filter assembly and it started on the first pull with no fuel leak. The float must have been stuck open. I gave it 4 stars because I shouldn't have had to repair a brand new generator. Other than that it works great.

I ordered this unit on sale for $280. Sam's confirmed the order, then a day later cancelled it due to being out of stock. I immediately went online to order it again to find out that it wasn't out of stock, but the price increased to $399. I placed the order anyway and was given a delivery date of August 2. The next day the delivery date was changed to August 3. Then the delivery date was changed again to August 9. This was not in time to fit my needs so I cancelled the order. Sam's WOULD NOT/DID NOT cancel the order and the unit got delivered at a time when no one would be home to receive it for 15 days, so it would sit on the front porch for a possible theft to happen. P.S. Sam's was notified on 6 occasions to cancel this order starting on August 3 via SAM'S CHAT AND PHONE CALLS.

Just bought it not even two weeks later is leaking oil and gasoline one good thing I can say about it is it starts up pretty fast but doesn’t put out a lot of power keeps shutting down and like I said, it’s already leaking gas and oil
