Have not even started it, so I can't tell you about the preference. I bought this for when the power grid goes down because of the present state of affairs of our Country.

We just bought this generator and are looking forward to using it as a backup generator when a storm comes through. It came with an extensive manual providing thorough instructions on care an maintenance.

I bought this and already used it once. Work great and the options and features are more and better than expected. Really like the electronic start. Setup was easy and all the parts and tools were included. Great JOB!!!!!!

The generator arrived on time. It came with all the tools and also a quart of oil can i think. It oscillates or revs up and down around 2 Hz for the first 2-4 mins and then seems to settle down. We havent had to use it yet in a power outage but looks good so far.

Provides me peace of mind should rolling black outs become the norm as hinted last year. Features advertised should meet all my needs to keep essential appliances running during power outages but won't know for sure until tested under actual conditions.

I bought this about 1 month ago, yet haven't tested it out. It was bought as an "insurance policy" after the last power outage we experienced lasted 4 days. I picked this model because of it sufficient power output, battery start, and display meter for monitoring usage hours and generator output. Hopefully I will never have to use it, but hope it will work if I actually need it.

When I had purchased this online, I had no idea that it did not come with any power cables. This being the first generator I have ever purchased, I had no idea this was an additional purchase that needed to be made nor which cable I needed to get to go with it!

this generator ..best i ever bought. no problems highly buy it

Haven't tried it yet but item came really damaged. Will update if fixed

Starts quickly, powers my 18 ft camper including AC and TV.
