Runs great, pull starts easy and is quite fuel efficient. The only problem is the door that covers the oil dipstick has 2 screws that have to be removed every time I run the generator. If there is a replacement door that uses something like the later models use... that'd be GREAT.

Having researched this as the 2nd best portable generator, I grabbed it for the BEST price online, from Sams Club.

Pleased with my purchase so far. Easy to set up, oil and gas and it's ready to go. Not very loud and that's what I was looking for.

Very easy set up, only ran it for a few hours to break it in under a slight load. Starts very easy. Read manual as there are a few pointers worth knowing.

Plan to use this for power outages, started up on 1st pull and ran very quite and smoothly. Did not run load test yet but will do so in the next week or so.

Great generator for the price!! Compare same size to Honda, which i love as well, and its 2.5 times less eexpensive.Very quite, very fuel efficient! Highly recommended!

So far, so good after 5.5 hours of breaking it in at no more than 50% load. Like all generators they smell, so I bought a 75 foot 10 gauge extension cord with 3 outlet plug-on cord, so that keeps the generator far away.

Put oil and gas in. Started on first pull. I have started and stopped generator and run at verying loads for five hours to break unit in. Runs well and starts on first pull every time.

Put oil and gas in it started on the first pull. I ran it for a bit over a hour pulling 1500w no problem. I primarily plan to use it for emergency power so I am happy with the performance.

Bought on sale, and feel its worth what we paid. Just need it to run fridge, lamp, and maybe a small radiant heater when power goes out. Easy instructions, started right up on 2nd pull.
