Glad we bought this just in case...and bam! Hurricane...no power for 3 days and this kept the two refrigerators, a freezer, and numerous other small items going...all on propane. Unfortunately, have a very small oil leak coming from somewhere and will have to explore repairs / warranty.

We bought this product because we live in central Florida and looking forward to an active storm season the summer. After doing extensive research on which brand/model to buy, this unit seemed to be the right choice. Looking forward to putting it to the test. Although, let's hope we don't even need it the summer. But if I do it will do the job.

Just received it and started right up with propane gas. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that the enclosed oil funnel was broken up on arrival (likely cause was related to some damage to the outside of the box) and also a slight discrepancy between the "quick start guide" and the user manual. The quick start guide did not mention that the battery was not attached to cables and that the engine mount was partially blocking the ability to insert the cotter pin, as well as the battery was facing the wrong way. After following said quick steps I had to revert to the manual to remove one tire so that I could remove battery to connect the battery and reinstall the tire.

I ordered this generator in preparation for hurricane season but shortly after buying it needed a generator to power a house that was having electrical problems. This generator ran for over three days, powered a large window AC unit, a fridge, and some power strips for chargers and such. It ran smooth and provided everything we needed. Can't beat that for the price. Great that it comes with the tools because the spark plug would be hard to get to otherwise. Handle is awesome for moving it around. Great product so far!

Just purchased 2 weeks ago. I live in SW Florida so we have power outages frequently. Yesterday was our first 3 hour one. Thunder storm and boom, no power. Was very easy to set up and get it up running. Then wake up this morning, no power. Very pleased with performance. I live in a Travel Trailer. This size was right. Thanks.

Bought this generator to be prepared for the coming winter since I live in an outage prone area. Set up was straight forward and simple. I connected a propane tank and ran it for 15 minutes without issues. Includes everything you need to get going except for fuel. The included oil is precisely the amount you need. Not too heavy at just about 100 pounds. Feels like a wheel barrow full or dirt to move. We'll see how it performs in a power outage situation.

Starts, runs smoothly on propane (haven't tried gas yet as I don't plan on using it. Power output is steady. Noise level is reasonable. Unit appears sturdy and well-made. Handle for pulling is comfortable. My one complaint: The oil cap/dipstick. Location is hard to reach without getting almost flat on the ground; cap is cheap plastic and hard to thread, and already shows signs of stripping. I can tell already that's likely to be a problem. Even worse: The dipstick is essentially useless -- after screwing it in and unscrewing it, the amount of oil smeared on the stick appears to be the same no matter how high or low the oil level actually is. Also, it would be nice if the owners manual made it clearer that the ENTIRE bottle of oil that comes with the unit should be put in the engine. I tried going by the dipstick reading and ended up with too little oil. The Low Oil Cutoff saved me until I could figure out it needed the full 0.6 liters; otherwise it could have been a disaster. It's a shame to have to focus on a negative issue when the machine appears to be an excellent value otherwise, but it's annoying that the minor fixes (metal oil cap; separate dipstick that doesn't have to be screwed in) that could solve the problem haven't already been made.

Just received my new generator. Out of the box it was easy to set up. Started right up using the electric start. The remote starter works awesome! I immediately noticed it is quieter than the 25 year old generator I am replacing. I am looking forward to using it at my remote off-grid cabin in SE Ohio.

I bought this in October just to have on hand for emergency use. We do noy have a history of power outages in this area, however, last winter experienced about a 14 hour outage. I use a Bi-PAP and Oxygen at night so its crucial to have those to sleep safely. We purchased the 3600 model which will perform the necessary capabilities, while also supplying power for a small appliances on an as needed basis to provide some comfort should an outage occur. I was really pleased how simple the set-up was, just took a few minutes. Start-Up was incredibly easy also. Used the key fob remote and the Generator started right away. Its size is very convenient for storage in my garage also and stores and moves easily. The comfort to know I now have emergency back up for power at my home is very relieving. Not to mention its size and weight makes it easy to pack to take on camping trips and other outdoor adventures.

I haven't had a power outage, but I have tested this generator out, and I love the features. I especially love the remote start. It is also convenient that you can switch from gas to propane while the unit is running. I think this generator is a great value for the money.
