After filling up the oil reservoir with the oil that was included with the generator, and filling up the gas reservoir about halfway, the unit fired up on the 1st pull. I ran it for about 5 minutes then shut it off. I'll run it for 30 minutes in the next day or two, to check out the connections for the 2 - USB ports and the 2 100v outlets. I live in south Los Angeles County and bought the generator to power my refrigerator, router, laptop and charge up the mobile phones during an emergency power outage. Because CA is run by brain-dead liberals, they have not beefed up our power grid over the decades, and since they are insisting on using electric vehicles, the power grid cannot handle the late afternoon, early evening power grid needs. Plus, if there's an earthquake, EMP attack, or another such power-ending event, I can keep the fridge/freezer running for a few days. Hang in there folks, and remember to Fight On!

I bought this product for outdoors activities and power at home in the event of an outage. The day after ingot it, we had a bad wind storm that knocked out power. I was able to power two heaters and lights, which made the wife and kids happy during the power outage!

Neatly packaged, all items promised accounted for. Currently running a break in period with frequent oil changes. The engine is quiet and smooth running. I have not yet put it under a full load test but based on it's current running condition there shouldn't be any issues. I will update this review as necessary.

We bought this generator for our Coleman LT 17B travel trailer. It works great. Running the fireplace in this camper puts about 50% load on the generator, so plenty of room for more. I figure we can run both the fireplace / microwave or the A/C / microwave at the same time. Its really light to carry as well. I filled it with oil and gas upon arrival and it fired up on the second pull. The starter pull is very easy and smooth.

I bought this inverter in February 2021 just before the second snow storm in Texas. I was so happy to have it cause the second wave put me in the dark for five days. This inverter did its job. It runs for 4 hours on 1 gallon of gas. This is a must for all who need to warm up just one room.

The machine started on the 3rd pull. Only ran for approx. 30min. No issues whatsoever. It runs smooth and quiet. After 15mins or so I connected a 7.5amp angle grinder and 2gal nailer air compressor, again no issues. We'll see how it does over time. I like that it's made in Vietnam and not China.

Pleased with this generator so far. I looked for a long time and this unit simply had the best performance and features for the price. After adding gas & oil, generator started up on first pull. Extremely quiet at idle with eco mode on. Add a load to it and the engine speed ramps up, but it is still very quiet even at full load. I've tested it to about 1600 watts using a space heater and it handles it effortlessly. I'll wait to fully load it until I've finished the break-in. The digital display really sets this apart from other generators in this size and price range. The display will let you cycle through voltage, output power (in kW), lifetime hours, fuel quantity remaining (in liters), and time remaining on fuel. All the functions seem to work just fine and the power output was accurate. You just can't find this feature set in other generators, especially the lifetime hours which is helpful for me to schedule oil changes and such. If first impressions count, this generator is a winner. The big question is long term reliability and that is an unknown. I have a large Westinghouse generator (their W9500DF) that I bought a year ago that has been a tank-- it's a great generator, so I have high hopes that the quality and reliability of this model will be similar.

I haven't had a chance to use this generator much yet, but it showed up as described and in good shape. It started right up the first time and has ran well so far. The best thing I have to compliment so far is the user manual. This is the best user manual I have ever seen for a small engine. Not only does it give one spark plug replacement brand and number, it gives four different brands and numbers! Also it gives you all the features, operating instructions, maintenance information, parts lists, and schematics you could ever need to do all your own service work. That is worth a lot right there! So far I am very happy with my purchase.

I bought this because I heard it was going to be a rough hurricane season. My little town of Douglas was demolished. This Generator has been a live saver and has ran multiple appliances. I will definitely buy another to pair with it! No regrets here!

I purchased this generator to supplement our 'boon-docking' experiences with our travel trailer. Right out of the box, I added the provided oil, put in some fresh gasoline, and it fired up within about 5 pulls, and it ran smooth. I like the features and price of this generator. It came referred to me by a neighbor who has used it for awhile now, and was a fraction of the price of the unit I was previously considering.
