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.

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.

Nice packaging and presentation

I got this little guy for power outages to help with sump pumps and other needed electrical items that are critical during a power outage. This will also make a great edition to have for outdoor gatherings where power may not be easily accessible due to its great portability. The generator was securely packaged and the directions are clear easy to use. I can't wait to put this thing to use.

So far so good...

Only owned for a short time but it was exactly what I was looking for. I needed portability over 7500 watts (don't need to power my house with it but just a few things). Easy to setup, easy to use, and while not "light" it is light enough to pick up and move around with one person

Can't generate electricity.

Did I get bad luck? I bought it in May but hadn't got time to open the box until the tropical storm Laura came in this week. Called the company support line during the power outage and they told us to register the product first then could guide us to technical support. I wish I could have a return and exchange to Samsclub but was told this could only be done in 30 days after the purchase. It was my fault not testing it earlier, but I just can't believe a brand new generator couldn't work after my husband followed every instruction in the manual correctly to set it up. It started with the normal noise but couldn't generate any electricity. There should be lights on after started but we got none. So be careful and take my lessons learned! Do test this generator as soon as you open the box! Sent it to the repair store finally and we are still waiting for the updates from the repair person. God knows how urgent we needed a generator during a power outage for two days in the hot summer but this brand new one just couldn't work!
