Super User Friendly

I purchased this generator to charge the batteries in my boat when I am not next to power and it works and sounds amazing! We have also been able to use this to run power tools and charge personal electronics with the USB ports. I am very pleased with this unit and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Saved us - without power 3 days

I purchase when our power was out and not scheduled to be restored for 3 1/2 days. I ran this generator for over 60 hours. It powered our freezer and sump pump in the basement. We also ran our kitchen refrigerator and non essentials like, TV, internet, lights and more.

We purchased this generator a few months ago.

Great decision, the generator came in excellent packaging very professional. It has all of the features we wanted, rugged design multiple outputs, excellent maintainability, useful documentation. Overall an excellent purchase for the price! Weight may be an issue with me (as I am 84 years old) but so far I am able to load into our SUV.

Love it...Only one complaint

I purchased this generator to use in the boatyard while working on my sailboat. I wanted dual fuel because, if you know carburetors, you know how they can go wrong on you. This allows you to utilize propane "in a pinch". There's nothing like having a backup fuel source. I have had a few complaints. 1. Fuel spill and discoloration of cover This is a materials issue. While filling it with ethanol-free fuel, I spilled some down the side of the unit. Before I realized it, the fuel had discolored the cover. This is no issue at all. I'm not trying to win a beauty contest with this thing. 2. Stopped running and set me back a couple of days. While in the yard, using the unit, it began to sputter and it eventually shut down after a few minutes. I could NOT figure out what was going on. I left the boat yard with my tail between my legs and came home. When I examined it at home, I couldn't find anything wrong but it still wouldn't start. I checked for fuel in the tank, unscrewed the bowl drain screw enough to see fuel was in the carburetor bowl, pulled the plug and checked it for spark, checked the air filter...all seemed OK. I thought I'd see if it would start on propane. When I went to use the fuel selector switch, I thought, "Maybe it got bumped in transport." I switched it to propane and back to gas, pulled the string and it sputtered to life. All seems OK now. I felt like a fool. Remember this! It might just save you a lot of headaches. My complaint is that it is not able to be "locked" into position. 3. I have to adjust the tappets! This is the biggest complaint. This unit doesn't have hydraulic lifters or rollers (like Honda). This means that you have to adjust the clearance on the valves. That's a big deal for folks who have NEVER done this type of thing before. It adds a whole new level of maintenance that really made me shake my head. I can do it because I've ridden old motorcycles for years..."OLD" being the operative term.

Great little generator

I bought this one as a companion to my other 2550 C to hook and parallel to run certain items in the house in case of power failure. Hooking the two smaller ones together to get more power is a lot easier for me than trying to Lug one big one around. And the overall cost is about the same. Gives me a lot more flexibility when I don't need the power of a large one

Great for the price and pretty quiet!

Bought this approximately 30 seconds before our power came back on, but decided to keep it for any future outages and possibly for use with a small camper. Some friends had no power longer and used it to power a water pump for them. Fired up on the first pull! With the dipstick being mostly horizontal it's a little hard to tell how much is in there, but the nice (and included!) funnel made filling it up pretty painless!

Nice little Generator

I'm a residential home builder and was looking for a small generator to mainly charge batteries on the days we are not using our larger generator so as to save on gas & wear &t tear. This one got great reviews. Runs my chargers in ECO mode. Very pleased with this purchase, I spent a little more to get better quality and power than other brands. Feel it was well worth it.

Easy to set up and with dual fuel

I just received the generator, read the instructions, attached a propane tank, and started. It took several pulls, but when it did start, it was quiet and ran smoothly. With propane as a fuel source, I do not have to worry about draining the gas. It will be ready when I need it.

Started first pull

Followed the simple start-up guide and ran for over an hour the first time. I charged portable battery generators for camping. In ECO mode you can hear the idle down (or up) depending how much power you are pulling. Exactly what I was looking for and looking forward to using for camping!
