but something you'll be so glad to own when you do need it. This is a solidly built, well-constructed piece of equipment that is sure to do the job. The set-up manual is easy to navigate. After prepping for a trial run the generator fired right up with less than a full pull. It ran smoothly and efficiently during the hour long test run. The gauges are helpful and the ops. panel hosts many features. Like I said, you hope never to need one, but you'll be glad this is ready to use when you do. Also, if you like the color blue - this is the one!

This generator performed as expected. The product arrived in good shape. There was some minor scuffing on the bottom of the frame which would impact rust resistance for unfavorable environments but not an issue for me. It came with a wheel kit that wasn't too difficult to put on. It just needed to be propped up on something to get the wheels on. once that was done the cushioned feet were easy to install by just tipping the unit up using the wheels as pivot points. Oil and an oil addition funnel with a tube came with the unit. Adding oil was simple but does require the funnel and tube since the addition point is recessed somewhat under the frame. This could be improved but not a huge thing. There is an oil drain plug and it appears to be in a fairly good location. I haven't done an oil change yet to identify an issues but don't expect any. Battery connection and engine preparation to start were all simple and normal. The manual has instructions on how to convert the generator from a grounded neutral to floating as needed. Engine started easily using electric start. Pull start was not actually performed but based on quickness of start with starter and pull resistance, I expect no issues. Upon starting a puff of oil smoke came out indicating the cylinder was lubed with oil for storage and shipment. Noise level is loud but comparable with other generators of this type and size. Generator was connected to house using the 240 V outlet and assumed load as expected. 240 volt load was applied and worked fine. If the fuel is shut off the generator dies suddenly once all the fuel in the carburetor is used but when the fuel tank is low it runs erratically. This detail was not mentioned in troubleshooting in the manual. Not an issue unless someone in a power outage and less familiar with engines experiences RPM pulsations and goes to the troubleshooting section. Everything performed as expected.

I bought this generator a few weeks ago after a storm left us without power for a few days. The electric start works great once the battery is charged. The cord to pull to start worked on the first try and it will help keep us warm after the next outage.

Received generator in a timely matter. Unpack and all parts and manuals were there. Installed wheels and feet per installations. Filled generator with oil and gas per instructions. Connected battery, choked and try to start. Would not not start with electric starter. Assume battery was dead. Used pull cord and started on first pull. Will read instructions on charging battery. One thing I noticed, draining oil could be a little messy. Need to add an extension tube to oil drain plug/hole. It seem to be made very well and should last a while with maintenance. Great product.

Seems like a solid unit with great features and specifications. Excited to try it out but need to get damage to air cleaner resolved (arrived cracked with hole in housing). Hoping for a quick resolution. Looking forward to being able to power my home during the next power outage!

I bought this for my 92 year old mother to be able to run her necessary household needs when PG&E shuts the power down due to fire safety concerns. It is easy to run and provides all the power she needs. It started right up out of the box after connecting the battery, and adding the oil and fuel.

I bought this in preparation for Mississippi hurricane season. Thankful I did and have recommended this generator to others. Followed proper procedures for initial start up/breaking in and it has run smooth ever since. Powerful and quiet compared to my old generator from 14 years ago. Good purchase.

This gen is great! It's built so well well fit and finish are great! Comes with extra tools and a full maintenance manual. This unit also has easy to read instructions and user friendly controls. Full protective cage and beefy handle. So happy with this purchase

I bought this because I am recent transplant to Florida and was unprepared for a hurricane caused extended power outage. I have not used this generator much yet but I did unbox it and get it all setup. It was all a snap. Minor assembly of attaching the wheel kit and stops and adding oil. It has electric start which is a real plus and it cranked right up on first try. I'm actually looking forward to our next power outage!

My generator arrived in perfect condition. I added oil and gas. I didn't read close enough the first time and missed that I had to connect the battery connection wires. Once that was done it started right up. I ran it for the recommended hour to "break-in" the engine. So far so good. I am very pleased with the construction, overall look, and design. The plastic funnel for filling the oil was a nice touch as well as supplying all the tools needed for assembly.
