Awesome power

I bought this generator to replace a smaller unit for use during power outages. (South Louisiana- hurricane country). The smaller unit gave me lights, fans, fridge and freezer. This will let me have A/C. Setup was super easy, paired remote and started at first crank. What can I say, Very pleased!!

Powerful little generator

We live in a 2 story 3400 sq ft house and this generator is setup on a line powering our main breaker box. It has enough power to run everything in our house including our AC. Great value. The one star removal is for noise, like most generators this thing is noisy.

Reliable portable generator with sufficient power

This is my fourth generator in 25 years used specifically for backup power at our shore house in Maryland. Although the other generators still operate they have become dated. This generator in quite simple to start with a push of a button locally or remotely. There is still the ability to pull start if necessary. The power is sufficient to operate backup water pumps as well as refrigerator/freezers and household electronics. The price closed this deal. Quality and ease of operation with low noise and generous power output made this an outstanding purchase.

Very impressed!

I just received my new generator today. I am very impressed by the solid features and manufacturing. Very clear set-up & assembly instructions, and tons of awesome features on this product! I expect I will be well pleased by this generator... huge upgrade from my old unit.

Large load generator

So the generator purrs like a kitten. Overall it is not that loud. I have it about 20 feet from my house and you can barely hear it inside. It looks pretty, as if that matters, and has a lot of hookups to connect multiple size connections. The push button start, remote start and manual start are all great to have. Push button makes it so easy to start. I have not tested it with a load yet as our power has not gone out, nor have I had it at a job site yet, but so far I give this generator 5 stars. I gave it 4 for portability because of its weight, but honestly all generators are heavy so not really a big deal. Wheels certainly help. Seems to be a great buy at a great price.

This thing is awesome!

I’m seriously impressed with this generator. The overall build quality is excellent and the remote start? C’mon. So cool to have and actually really convenient. It has plenty of power to run everything in our house with proper use. The only unfortunate thing I have to say is mine came with some cosmetic damage. Not sure when it was done to it but it has some scratches and scuffs on it. I included a picture for reference. But overall I’m very pleased and would absolutely recommend this generator.

Awesome generator

This generator is Awesome! It came with everything needed for start up. Hooked up battery and the generator started after a 1 second push on the electric start the first time. This generator will be used to temporarily power my house during a power outage. It powers almost my entire house without issue. My only gripe is the generator is heavy and although on wheels and I am able to move it without a problem it would be too hard for my wife to move it if she ever needed to.

Perfect backup power for my house

I just bought this generator after several power outages in my area. I ordered it on a Monday and it arrived that Wednesday. It was packed well and secured to a pallet. All I had to assemble was the wheels and front rubber feet. After adding the supplied oil, I added gas and it fired right up.

Runs everything that is needed when the powers out

We bought this item after a huge power outage left us having to toss all of the food in our two refrigerators. With the cost of food now a days we had to find a way to save that food when we went without power. This powers up the fridge and a small window unit in the hot months and enough space heaters to keep warm in the cold months. Very happy with our purchase.

Great features, excellent gas capacity and run tim

I ordered this during the last ice storm in North Carolina. The one I was using had issues during that storm. I have this one set up and ready for the next storm. The only negative I found was the instructions did not instruct me to hook the wires from the hot battery cable. I called the help line and after directions from the help line, proceeded with no additional issues. It started right away with the manual start.
