Purchased this generator at the last second while on a camping trip. Noise level was next to nothing....had the unit sitting 10 feet from three of having a conversation and didn't notice it was there. Very simple to start and fuel efficiency was excellent.

So far I have used this to run a fridge, tv, and network gear during a power outage from a sever thunderstorm. Had it running for a couple of hours until power was restored. It starts up pretty easy. The engine bogs a bit under surge loads, but that's life. With eco mode off it handles the surge well enough that it does not seem to be an issue. Prior to the power outage I had been heat cycling the engine to help it break in. Basically led it idle in eco, off eco, with a load and without, shut down and let it cool and cycle it again. I did purchase an install an hour meter to measure engine rpm and run time so I can be on top of the maintenance cycle. Put some silicone grease on the grommets for the access panel to make it pop on and off easier. It is fairly quiet and easy to carry. Being quiet is important as I have neighbors on all sides of me, so not lookin to upset anyone. You know how people are these days... I am happy to have this around, even the wife, who was initially against it, was happy to be able to enjoy some sort of normal life while the power was out. I always stressed about losing the contents of the fridge/freezer. I am now looking for a way to see if I can power our furnace in the winter if needed.

I have used this for power loss during a hurricane, tailgating, and camping. This unit starts every time with little to no effort. It is very quiet and it is strong. During the last hurricane I ran my TV, router, cable box, fans, and lights with this bad boy! I highly recommend it.

This generator is a nicely packaged, self-contained unit. The outside coating is weather resistant, with no protruding part or gauges. Included with the instructions is a quick start guide that had me get this up and running in less than five minutes. I had no trouble lifting this because of the compactness of the unit and sturdy handle. Oil is included, as well as a spout that screws into the oil plug for easy filling. The gauges on the side are LED's and show your fuel level, how much time you have left before it runs out, wattage use and status of the generator. There is also a three mode switch for turbo, standard and economy usage. I fired it up and it functioned flawlessly. In addition to this generator being easy to use, it is also super quiet. This is important to me because I live in an upstairs condominium with units and other buildings that are pretty close together. I don't want to disturb the neighbors, and this unit will definitely make that happen. Lastly, the price is right! If you are looking for portability, quiet and piece of mind at a very reasonable price, I highly recommend this generator.

I purchased this generator two years ago I have since used twice, draining it regularly as well as running it as needed. 1- I recently tried to start and at first pull the recoil did not work. It took about 30 soft pulls and me walking away for it to retract. 2 - purging, I don’t know if this is normal but it purges when it ran and now it won’t run, cleaned the carb from sitting- even without fuel. And ran for 30 second then have to pull it again 3. Service, I just looked up and the closest service center for Generac is 60 Miles away. What are my options for warranty/repairs? I like this machine for the space saving and power aspect but I am not seeing that maybe I should have went with my gut as far as prior luck with the Red and White brands comparable model. Generac, Please Help!

Fresh out of the box it was great. I am a senior woman yet I could lift it, understand the operation, and start it. It is perfect for my camper. I will probably go ahead & get another one along with the kit to do parallel operation. It is quiet, efficient and obviously well made. I am happy, happy, happy with everything about it.

I usually never purchase a new product for which I can not find other reviews. I purchased this generator for the portability and the compact size. I am 100% glad I bought this model. Started the first time, ran quieter than I expected. I am considering on purchasing a 2nd unit and hook them up parallel with each other.

The unit is Flight Test orange, For those of us in flight test that's a huge pigs over red. The noise is compatible to Honda and weight seems lighter, at least somewhat better balanced and easier to carry. Paralleling is easier than Honda Addington panel is well thought out and easy to understand. Access to engine compartment is wonderful for larger hands.

Purchased in early spring for summer camping. Did not use until December and first time running started right up. Let it warm up and would not run with choke off. Ran under load for approximately 8 hours and had no other issues. The problem is that it would have to be almost full choke to run. Took it in for repairs and was told the carburetor needed to be replaced. Contacted manufacturer after service center stated is was not covered under warranty and the manufacturer said same thing. I am replacing the carburetor and hope there will be no further issues. Love the product, not happy with support.

Apprentice electrician: I’ve installed many generac systems over the years and always been impressed with the quality and service. Instead of going with a Honda 2200i or Yamaha 3000 watt inverter I picked this thing up from one of my local wholesale generac reps, very happy with the performance of this 3000w power rush, whisper quiet, easy to maintain and the features this product offers are great for all purposes from the job site to going away camping for the weekend. I now own 3 generac portable generators and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.
