Lightweight Little Powerhouse

Bought during a camping trip where power was out due to storms. It was quiet, easy to use and powered our camper and charged batteries etc until power was restored. Saved our camping trip and easy to transport fr future use. Also good to have at home to keep several things running during a power outage.

starts in one pull. light, quiet

I bought this a few days ago and took it out of the box today. After adding oil and reading how to operate, it started right away. It's quiet, very light. I am gonna love this for my camper. Much quieter than most generators this size. I love the rubber tray on top as well. Can't wait to use this with my camper.

Very new to be having issues!

The inverter model I wanted for a fuel savings for smaller and more frequent use. I've only had it a little over 2 weeks and it's having trouble staying running until it warms up. It's July in the US (not cold) so this makes me concerned about using it in a Minnesota Winter (it will be well below freezing). I'm following all the rules so I'd expect to not have any issues so soon. It does dip gas when it's going and it uses a fraction of the fuel compared to my large Predator model. I'm not sure about the sound level but if that's the volume people talk even on eco mode, people have loud conversations. Are we talking about people having a conversation across a bar, in a stadium, sure quieter, in a coffee shop or same table in a family style restaurant, nope. In a Library no way! It is a lot quieter than my large generator and is tolerable that way though. The power output is stable and plenty for most things for me to run for longer spans of time in a cost effective way. During the break in period I've kept low, just a TV, fan, and charging phones and such. The real test will be after break in when I try power tools, and larger demanding situations.

Perfect for Hurricane Maria, Quite Satisfied,

Generator was delivered today. Ran it in for 30 minutes to check operation. Operated flawlessly. Ran my table saw - it used 25% of the generator's capacity. The LED info panel is great! It's good to have that information. Let it run out of fuel and drained the carb float bowl - the drain valve and hose are a really nice touch. This is our hurricane generator. Hopefully, we'll never need it again.

Dependable

I bought this generator to keep the batteries in my boat charged while taking a 2 week trip to the Voyageurs National Park on the Minnesota/Ontario border. It was quite and charged my batteries while I was having my lunch. I wasn't concerned with being "battery friendly" while on my camping trip. It was worth the time and effort to bring along and leave the concerns behind of wondering when are my batteries going to die. One less thing!

Great generator!

My husband's dad has this and after we have been borrowing it, we had to get one! My husband utilizes this on job sites, our converted cargo trailer, emergency purposes and vacation. Runs pretty quiet and pretty light. Appreciate that it was factory tested before receiving it. Cost is more than fair with all its capabilities and qualities.

Great Generator!

I bought this generator in August for use with my trailer. I'm very impressed by it. First of all, it is much lighter than the typical generator. It is much easier to carry around and move. Second, it is very quiet. The generator in on ECOmode it is so quiet compared to other generators. I love this feature because who wants to listen to a bunch of noise while camping. Lastly, this generator is no each to operate! The directions for setup are well written and easy to follow. Once the initial setup is completed, set the choke, pull the start handle on your on your way. It's a breeze. Maintenance seems just as easy. So far I'm happy with the purchase!

Light, quiet, and powerful!

Use to recharge battery for trailer, phone, cameras, computer, keeps truck batteries fully charged as it gets colder while up hunting. Gives me back up power for heat, lights, & entertainment for the kids. And when the propane runs out, don't have to run to town for a refill.

Started right up after adding the supplied oil.

It was easy to set up. After adding the supplied oil and putting gas in it, it started on the 2nd pull. I plugged in my 6-gallon pan compressor and it ran fine. It is very quiet and you are able to have a conversation without it drowning you out. I am glad I made the purchase.
