I bought this a few weeks back after using my Dad when I was in a pinch. It really performed well for what I needed. I live off grid so I need to use a generator often when there is excessive cloud coverage especially in the winter. The generator runs about 9 hours on 5 gallons of gasoline loaded at 3kW. Super easy to pull start or electric start and fairly quiet compared to what I'm used to. I would definitely recommend.

Everything looks good out of the box. Wheels went on easy (thanks to the stand it ships on) and the delivery guys waited to help me unload it off the stand. If I didn't have help getting it off the shipping stand, it would have been very difficult. Moving the generator around is surprisingly easy given its size and weight. Opened oil drain valve and washer. There was at least a cup of oil that came out. I don't like the design of the drain plug here as it basically spills onto the bracket and you're supposed to place a pan under the feet to catch the oil (with feet inside pan getting oily). Probably best to use a valve with drain hose in place of drain plug. Filling with oil is a little awkward, be sure to pour slowly as recommended in manual. Dipstick is a little awkward, but not terrible. Initially I tried to start with propane but it was idling very rough. Ran it on gas for about an hour. Tried propane again and it started without an issue. I will cold start on propane next time to make sure there's not an issue. The manual displays the propane hose with an additional regulator, but does not have one on the hose included with the generator. The regulator is on the generator already and the manual is likely incorrect. The Low/Smart Idle setting dropped the voltage to 190 and the frequency to 40 hz. Portability and noise level are good given the size and output. Very maneuverable on hard surface. Grass or soft surfaces may prove more difficult. I will continue to update this review as I use it more.

We got the power outage for more than six hours a couple weeks ago. This generator provide enough power for our 240V well water pump, central air heater, desktop, TVs. The thing I like most about this generator is that I can use the L14-30R connects directly to my main breaker. I then can have 240v and 120v simultaneously. It is a good deal to find a generator that can provide 240v for that price.

Really is a 5-Star but since i'm nit-picking I knocked a star off due to the difficulty of trying to get the battery leads connected. This thing is a beast so understand it's 350-pound weight is no joke. You can't beat the value of this considering its output power and the fact it is rated for less than 5% THD (safe for most electronics). I will be using it for occasional portable needs but primarily as a home back-up generator. It will easily handle all my back-up power needs. Very excited to finally have back-up power here in Northern Maine.

This generator is great! It had exactly what I needed. It can run both 50 Amp at the same time. Wish it had better fuel efficiency but it can make the power. There is a power saving mode in it which I like. It's not as quiet as you would like but that feature help when you turn it on. If you are getting it on a palette, make sure you can get off with out hurting yourself.

I bought this generator as a home back up generator and have it connected through my electric panel with a 50 amp breaker I have a 3200 ft.² home with an additional garage apartment that is 600 ft.². This generator is able to run my whole house, including three air conditioners. I have a 4 ton, a 2 ton and a 1 ton. The 4 ton and 2 1/2 ton are for the house and I put soft starts on them. The 1 ton is for the garage apartment with no soft start. I have used this generator during power outages, and it will start and run all three AC units as long as they do not start at the same time. I've had no issues with the generator stopping during AC starts. I just hear it changing to a low tone as more load is put on it, but it has never stopped. I would recommend this generator for anyone looking for a home power back up.

I purchased the generator to power my Miller Multimatic 220 while I have a subpanel installed in my garage and it works great. The remote start lets me start and stop the generator from inside allowing me to save fuel. So far I've only run it on propane and it has never struggled to keep up.

We had a very long power failure this fall. Had not great due to electric heating and gas fire place. No lights other than Coleman propane lantern. Decided to purchase a large portable generator. Unit arrived in great condition, battery was charged, filled with oil and gas. Pushed the start and it turned over, stopped, turned over, stopped. So then I opened the fuel valve. It started immediately. Started to plug stuff in, including an large elective impact, didn't even load it up. Getting a switch installed then power the house breaker box. No more cold dark winter nights.

The reviews I read prior to my purchase were all positive but I was still pleasantly surprised on how rugged it is. I'm still in the break-in period but the voltage is steady when applying loads and it runs good. I'm confident it will run the house when needed.

We live on Padre Island on the Texas coast and are susceptible to hurricanes. We have one small generator that will operate the refrigerator. We wanted one for the house so that we could live comfortably after a long period of electricity outage. Hope we never have to use this. But, we are prepared just in case.
