Runs great when starts!

I put a couple gallons of ethanol free gas in it and It ran great the first day I got it. I let it sit 6 months then recharged the battery and tried to start it. It turns over and I determined fuel was getting into carb but not into the combustion chamber and the spark plug has spark. All wires are securely attached. Now what??

Great Generator

It does what it is supposed to do - generate electricity!! It is a nice unit, started on first try and runs like a champ. Minimal assembly. Directions are really nice with helpful hints. I just used a 4-foot 2x4 to raise each side while my wife attached wheels and front rests. We only use the 240v plug, generator can take care of the house because we use gas (gasp) for stove, furnace, and hot water, all LED lighting, so the generator can do what we need to run the house.

Easy setup

I bought this generator three weeks ago. It was very easy to set it up but the instructions included. The generator started on the first try almost immediately, and the remote control worked properly as well. Then I connected a few loads the generator self adjusted the voltage self adjusted and it didn’t drop, I have not had a power outage yet, so I will try it a few times on the weekends on my backyard powering up some of my electrical tools.. I am not exactly looking forward to have a power outage, but this time I will be prepared and then I can try this generator at a larger load and I will come back to update my review

So far satisfied

Purchased just over a week ago, finally got to start for the first time tonight. Once fluids were added, it fired up right away using the push button start. Ran for about 15 minutes and tested a 120v tool which worked flawlessly. Will soon be testing my 50A transfer switch for emergency power. So far pleased with the simplicity and smooth operation. Looking forward to many years of peace of mind.

Great Generator!!!

I bought this a year and a half ago and haven't had to really use it. That is why it took so long to write this review. I go out every month and start it and put a load on it to keep it fresh. It starts first pull every time and has more than enough power to run my whole house. I am very pleased with the engineering of the unit and the ease of attaching equipment. So far, this has exceeded my expectations. If you need a generator, this is the one.

Great Features and Power for the price

Easy setup after generator arrived. Added oil and gas and it fired right up with the electric starter (the remote control start/stop is a nice touch}. Power was a steady 122/244 volts at 61 HZ. The power meter built into the unit seems accurate compared to my meter. Haven't used it for an outage yet, but I have no reason to doubt its quality.

Easy set-up. Powered up and test with no issues.

I purchased this in May 2021 for a home unit to power appliances, internet (I wok from home) etc. when we lose power. Had to wait awhile but this is the unit I wanted. The set-up was easy. Powered up and tested fine. Haven't had to actually use it but should be fine when I do.

Great product for my needs.

This is my first experience with a generator. There was minimal assembly needed and instructions on set and running were very easy to follow. It started right up on my first attempt which was awesome! Overall this model is a good value and will serve my back up power needs during power outages. I looked a lot of different brands and models and glad I went with this one

Simple straight forward

Super easy to assembly, oil drain is located so it's not going all over. Folks on the service desk are very friendly. Waiting for the smart switch accessory to make this unit really rock. Unit moves easy, the handle is very nice, large wheels means it rolls smoothly over semi rough terrain. Gonna use this unit to power our 6200 sq ft house, when there's an outage.

SO far so good,

Having completed the five hour break in period (at zero load, 1500w, 3000w, 4000w,4500w and 4650 w) and allowing gen to run at no load (cool down) for 8-10 minutes before turn off each separate day--everything good. On third day let it warm up for 10 minutes and switched over to the 30 amp for my house. It ran the boiler, two refrig's, freezer, numerous lights, two air cleaners and the microwave on full power for 3 minutes (the well pump was not used--it will be a large draw at 3/4 hp.
