quiet

I just recently purchased this and so far am happy with it. The only thing I have a concern about is the oil cap. For some reason you need to work at it to get it to screw in and the only reason I say that is if you are not careful you could easily cross thread it.

Full-time and first generator.

I brought it home today and broke it in. It started with the first pull. Ran an hour unloaded then changed oil. Ran a second hour with loads 1500w water kettle five times and several cycles of my craftsman 6gal air compressor (1000w). I like this generator.

Quiet, lightweight, easy to operate

I purchased this generator a few weeks ago and have been using it with my travel trailer. I find it quite easy to use. My 11 year old can crank it no problem. I really like having the display to note remaining fuel, running time, etc. It is also much easier to cart around than a traditional generator.

Good value

Started on first pull and provides good features, including digital readouts. Purchased for emergency power to fridge, freezer, portable room AC, and travel trailer AC. Unfortunately, the latter spikes over 20A when starting on a hot day, tripping the iGen circuit breaker. This starting spike is a common problem on RV ACs. I plan to address it by installing a "soft-start" module on the AC compressor. The advertised noise level is 52 dBA, but my phone app measures about 70 dB from 8 feet away; however, the actual noise level is acceptable and similar to other inverter gensets of this wattage. Recommended this model to a friend, who also purchased one.

Nice Quiet running unit

I just got this new Digital inverter Generator today. I put in the oil that came with the unit and added gas. After the first 2 pulls it started right away and runs great and quiet. It's a nice looking unit and I hope to have many years of use with it

Works For Me

I bought this for a couple reasons. First reason is to use on my 23 ft cabin cruiser for air conditioning while fishing or lobstering during the hot times from East Central Coast Florida to the Florida Keys and beyond. I go offshore for the whole day, and multiple day boat trips to the Dry Tortugas and Bimini maybe soon. Second reason is backup power during hurricane season. Then it could also be used for any project where I need power tools, or lighting where there is no power available. It has the best features, output, and price. Straight out of the box, I filled it with oil, and it started on the very first pull. It is not very noisy. I am slowly going throught the ten hour break in period before fully taxing it on the boat for A/C, fridge, laptop, and ice maker.

Runs Great without all the noise

Bought this for camping purposes and have to agree with other reviewers, this little machine is quiet, packs the power to do the job and seems to be very efficient at powering our travel trailer. Also used during storm so know how well it works in providing much needed power.

Performed as expected

Tried generator by hooking up a hair dryer at full blowing hot (9Amp), a impact wrench (7.5A), a half inch drill (3.5Amp), a running fridge. Unit ran as expected. Unit was rattling, working hard with evident vibration when all four items are operating. Unit is every compact. Had trouble at first starting but after squirting with starting fluid, unit cranked right up. Good unit.

Great Product

My wife bought this as a gift for me. After reading owner's manual & online reviews of this product, I couldn't wait to test this unit out. I'm build a deck on my house, so I figured this would be an opportunity to test unit out. This generator performance is OUTSTANDING! I was able power multiple construction tools, keep my cell phone & bluetooth speaker continuously charged, yet, provide necessary power to my miter saw & skilz saw, along with keeping my cordless battery charged for my cordless impact/drill.

The Best, the most quiet and most useful

I love this generator. It is very quiet and turns on very quickly. I use it for outdoor use around my car and home. It has two plugs and I have connected things with high watts and low watts and the generator worked without any problems. The display shows all the important info you need like gas levels and how long it could still work. Efficiency mode is also great. Its a great generator, I recommend highly.
