What a great product!

The entire unit was easy to finish assembly. It started the first time in less than 5 seconds... and every time after. I did not like the included battery charger.

Bought for whole house backup

Great machine for the price, I have this unit set up to feed my house and garage in the event of a power outage. Easy to set up and enough power to do all that I need, rain, snow sleet or shine.

Easy start

Needed because of ice storm power would be off for at least a week. Filled with oil and gas it started on first pull. It run all night with one tank of gas. Had quick connect at power pole easy work for next when you live in country, South Dakota

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this generator in exchange for my review. It is easy to set up and use, and powered everything I needed during a recent power outage. Great value.

Price is Right. Easy to put together. Great features. Easy to start

Bought it for hurricane Matthew. Lost power for 24 hrs. Was able to keep refrigerators & freezer going. Able to watch satellite for news while neighbors lost cable. Very good generator for the price

Nice Generator

Generator works as advertised. Starts very easy with electric starter. Very little assemble work. Handles just about A load with very little loss of RPM. Would buy this all over again if I needed another.

great features for the price paid.

The generator will work great for my needs. For the years to came. The price also could not be beat. My father owns the same model and paid more for it.
