received product with no damage to packaging, packaging inside was nice and secured the generator. Only issue i had was needing a socket to remove the stabilizer pieces. Nice part of that was they are colored red. I seen oil on the dipstick so tried to start and it would not. Instructions said fill with oil it that is was sent with so rechecked oil after cleaning of the dipstick and infract had no oil. After filling oil level up it started on the first pull. This was my mistake as the directions say to add the oil. Has been running just fine and been using it the garage while working with tools for car repairs. used on the back property for electric needs for lights and an electric chainsaw.

The generator was assembled without any complications. I separately purchased the wheel kit and also assembled without any complications. Started the generator making sure all was good. Have not used it fully operational yet -- it was purchased for power outages -- this is the reason for only four stars. This generator was good value for the $$$!

I will be using this generator for emergency back up power at home as well as for use at my brother's land. It has plenty of power for key equipment at both sites. The unit is much quieter than what you would expect from a unit this size. It is easy to use, and I really like the long run time before fueling this unit offers.

I bought this inverter generator for emergency situations in Florida. Hurricane season is coming. Very happy with this product. It started easily, not very noisy. I added wheels to it, a cover, and a cord from Champion, too. Very happy with the purchase.

I just received my 4250w open frame inverter generator and am loving it so far. I got this to use while boondocking in my small travel trailer. Weight is a huge issue for me but I needed something that will run my refrigerator and AC (if needed) at minimum. The specs say it weighs 75 lbs and I believe that's true. It is relatively easy to move around and can be loaded for travel with another's help (I did not buy the wheel kit but may in the future). I am new to using generators but this one seems very simple. I will be using it with a 30amp RV. It came with oil and a funnel in the box, which is convenient. I will be using this generator on a 5 day boondocking trip in the next couple of weeks and I will update my review at that time. I'm anxious to see how it will do on the trip.

I use this generator to power our cabin, its not as quiet as I'd hoped but its still a lot quieter than a typical jobsite generator. I love how easy it starts, you literally just have to pull gently on the rope and it pops off. Overall a great product so far, id definitely buy again.

Well it arrived in a box sightly larger than the unit itself, so some shipping scuffs to the box resulted in slight scratching and abrasion to the frame - no big deal. A slight twist in the frame became apparent once the gen was placed on level ground - again not a deal breaker but I thought maybe a pattern was emerging. Buy from there on, things turned out fine. Once prepped for run, the engine started easily and it went through the 8-hour break in just fine. It consumed about a half tank. I used a 1,800 watt oil filled radiator heater for load and alternated 30 minutes hi/ 30 min low all afternoon. Eco was left turned off. After unloading and allowing simmer down with Eco on, I turned off fuel and ran the carb dry using the choke to get all the jets cleared as it sputtered to a stop Drained the oil while hot and found very minimal sparkle and minimal darkening. A week later, repeated the process only alternating heater with a 1,200 watt hair dryer running along. Even made sure it would start/run a 6K BTU window unit and fridge, and it did although it may not like rare occasion of both compressors starting at same time - we'll see how it goes. Gen took it all in stride and oil looks fantastic. It's not really all that loud considering it is 220 cc of engine in an open frame. Fuel consumption is fair enough even when not using Eco mode. Price was fair. Not too heavy to lift and it fits on a dolly rather nice. So there you go, fair enough for now but time will tell. I still have my trusty ole Champion 1,400/1,800 for fans and lights but it sure will be nice to have clean power for window unit.

We use our generator for camping at a site with no electricity. Recharge camper, running A/C etc. We've only had the unit out one time. Starts well. Everything so far so good. The ad said unit was 75 lbs, the box said 85 lbs. 2nd champion for us, first one ran flawlessly for 8 years, still running strong. Bought this one since lighter to put in the back of the pickup

So far I did the "break in" and have used it for one weekend of camping. It ran my campers lights, AC, Fridge as well as the TV/Stereo all without seeming to even phase it. My only negative is that it isn't as quiet as my other one which is a Predator of the same size. BUT for the price I cannot complain. Thanks!

I plan to use it for my camper and at home when the power is out due to stormes. . Set up was simple. After adding oil and gas I turned the gas valvle on pulled on time and it started. Being a open frame it runs quiet and powered up my camper without going into overload. I do recommend the wheel assembly kit. It is easy to install.
