Electric start works like a charm.

The ease of the electric start makes this perfect for those older users. It’s a joy to use.

Love the electric start feature.

With the electric start, my wife can even start it and get things plugged in.

Good Generator

Have not had to use yet, but it starts easy and the directions are easy.

Great generator for a reasonable price! Fast set-up

All I had to do was add the oil and the gas. Two pulls and it was up and running!

Happy with purchase

Easy to assemble. Half a pull and was running. Now, like insurance I hope I never need it.
