Works Great!

Fired up the generator to help with a downed tree limb. My “Westing” started on the first push of the button and supplied plenty of power to that sawzall. Never wish to have the power go out, but I am now assured that having my generator around now will help relieve much of the stress power outages create.

Easy setup

Great packaging, easy to follow instructions for unpacking. (use the cardboard sides of the generator box for a works surface) Unpacked the wheel kit and installing the wheel kit took about 20 minutes (took a few minutes to locate where the mounting feet attached to the frame) Added oil - the tip of the funnel screws in the neck of the oil filler for a nice tight connection. Uses all of the oil supplied, poor very slowly and have a rag to clean up … Added gas. stabilizer and connected the battery charger. From unpacking to this point took about 45 minutes.

Great Generator. Very friendly and many options

I bought this generator 3 years ago. I bought it because it was universal between propane and gas, owner of 2 other gas generators I felt I was missing a propane. It has come in hand as I have ran out of gasoline but living in the country , we always have propane on hand.

ready to use in three steps

Bought for power outage use in case it happens near Buffalo NY. The oil is included in the box, plus a long screw- in funnel! Nice! Unboxed, Put oil in, little gas, hooked up battery plug, made sure switches set correct. Pushed start button - Its operational!..Not too loud for outdoor. Not putting wheels on it in winter, Just a little heavy for one 69 year old man to lift and move, but if snow, the frame will slide to where i want it. Ive only run it for 30 minutes so far, and its all good. The instrution manual could take a little extra work though to explain the plugs more. Note: The Battery is lithium ion. So you cannot use a lead core battery charger on it! I bought special charger becuase of the 2 prong plug configuration in case I want to trickle charge it. However, manual says the battery automatically charges when the unit is running!!!

Just got today, super easy assembly, instruction manual easy to read and understand. Started right up after filling with included oil, love the included funnel. Just like that, Ready to go. Hopefully will stay on standby, and not lose electricity. Thanks for a Quality product.

Very happy with this so far

Had a 20 year old Duromax 4400 that I was using as a backup generator for my house and it was really struggling with the well on startup. This generator is much more powerful and handles it no problem. I love that it comes with a screw in oil funnel and spark plug wrench. Set up was incredibly easy, took about 10 minutes total and start up was perfect.

Easy Set Up, Easy to Handle

I purchased this generator to replace an old one that was only pull start. This generator is electric start, easy to move (even after 8 back surgeries), and comes with everything you need to set it up and use it. I have not had to use it yet, but I have high hopes that it will be a great buy.

Very great to use!, having two options of fuel hel

This is the third generator that I have bought in two different states and they are so dependable and versatile, I gave one to my sister up in New York. I gave one to my son who just had his first baby and we needed to buy another one to replace that. We are really looking forward to using it

We absolutely love ours

Our generator is absolutely the best! It has kept us nice and warm and our food frozen while we had no power several times. I don't know what we would do without it! It has been the best investment we have ever made! We highly suggest this one and only by this brand! We had another brand before and it let go very fast, so that one was a waste of money, but this one, definitely not!!!!!!!

Easy setup and operation

Big snow is coming today and I received the generator yesterday delivered on time as expected. Was easy to setup the unit and test run it. Much quieter then our older Huskey generator. Electric start is a wonderful feature. Easy well marked control panel and large gas cap opening makes filling with fuel safer and easy too. Relatively compact size is a bonus. Would buy again and recommend to friends!
