Very Quiet!

I was surprised when first turning on the generator. The sound was quiet and I initially thought the "eco" but was on, but it was not! It was running full speed and was very quiet. Aside from the sound, the build quality with this generator is very good along with the fit & finish. With proper maintenance, this generator should last many, many hours.

Looks like a good product.

Removed access plate with the included tools to access oil fil and inspected inside. Looks like a well-built generator. I read the directions to understand that it cannot get wet, so we have made arrangements to run it in a well-ventilated but protected space if the power goes out. I like the list of technical specifications that include the spark plug part number and the quantity of fuel and oil. This makes it easy to maintain. I expect that this is exactly the product I am looking for to support my in-laws should they lose power.

Great value

My friend was telling about his new generator, said I should buy one. I did and I could not believe the quality and finish of this product. After adding gas and oil, it started on the 2nd pull. I plugged in my electric chainsaw and it handled it with no issue.This is a great product, I may even buy a second one.

Smart Purchase

This product was just as described - small, compact, and efficient. I particularly liked how quiet it runs, and how long it will run with a full tank of gas (I have not tested this feature, yet). Easy to start, and I believe it is quieter than other major brand competitors

Nice unit

I bought this and was pleased with how easy it was to setup and get going. Unfortunately, it doesn't have enough power to run my small compressor. Frustrating because I settled for a smaller compressor due to this unit size. I spent a lot of time researching these things too. Live and learn. That being said, I was very pleased with the prompt delivery from Sam's too. It had come in faster than I expected, which is unusual these days.

Nice size and easy to use

This is a nice inverter. Just enough juice to power a small kitchen and other appliances. Very easy to start and starts right up without a bunch of extra pulls. Runs a good long time on a small tank. Unfortunately have to use it often! But it's really easy to use.

Not sure YET?!?!

I purchased this generator because of the great reviews that were online. I did all the setup per directions, started it and it ran well. I then followed the steps and placed a load on it. Still worked, I was excited. THEN, I took the generator on a planned trip where it was going to be v v cold. I made sure to check the oil, gas and that there was nothing to block exhaust. I pulled the cord and it started, GREAT!! HOWEVER, the moment I put a load on it (small heater 200w) IT STOPPED!!! I am going to try again to see if I did something wrong and if I did, I will revise this review. IF NOT, I AM GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT OTHERS DON'T HAVE SAME ISSUE.

Great Peace of Mind

I bought two of these for 3600 watts of electricity and am pleasantly surprised at how many appliances I can use at one time in a power outage. Because newer appliances are so energy efficient we can run central heat (gas) blower, power electronic ignition on gas water heater, 27 cu. ft. refrigerator, 65" tv, cable modem and wifi router, lights (LEDs), fans, and even an 8,000 btu window unit in a summer outage to keep one room livable.

Quiet and reliable power

I've had this for a couple of weeks now, and gone through the break-in of running for an hour then changing the oil twice. During this process, I used a phone app to check the loudness of the engine running - not sure how accurate it is, but it did register around 52db, with no load, at about 25 feet away. After the 2nd oil change, I used a Kill-a-watt meter to check voltage, watts, etc for various loads, and everything looks as expected. After the initial startup, every start thereafter was on the first pull, and the engine quickly stabilized and ran smoothly. The real test will be next week when we use it to supply power while camping. Mainly for charging a battery, running lights and a water pump, and the electronics for a propane refrigerator, but I will also test a couple of loads up to around 1800 watts just to see how it responds.
