I like the control panel features

My one problem is that the engine control switch is backwards. I have to turn the switch to "off" to start it up and turn the switch to "choke" to shut it down. It runs quietly which is nice. Looking forward to powering up some tools out in the country.

Good little machine

Bought this to use at the track to warm my motorcycle tires, run fans, charge devices etc. Running this on propane exclusively. I changed the factory spark plug to a NGK plug after opening due to other reviews I read. Starts and runs flawlessly. I did as directed and broke in unit and then switched to synthetic oil. I also added a magnetic dipstick to help catch any metal shavings during break in and normal use.

Relatively light weight; very fuel efficient

We bought this to run a pump to pump water out of a flooded basement. We were able to hook up 2 pumps at a time so it really made the process much quicker. We will be using it to provide light to do the clean-up process in the days to come. Our one complaint was trying to find the serial number to put on the registration form. We found the number when we read it on the box the inverter came in. The number was on the inverter, but as the qpc code, not mentioned as serial number.

Clean Attractive Generator

I just rec'd the generator today (3-5-18), I ordered it on 2-27-18. Initial emails said delivery would be on 3-12-18 - so it arrived a week early (I'm impressed) I have not had the opportunity to start up yet and as I will be out of town for the next several days, I will start it up when I get back on Sunday 3-11-18. I look forward to using it, and if I am able to post a follow up review, I will.

Started After First Pull

Unit arrived in great shape and on time from AP Electric. Added oil as directed, filled with Clear Unleaded Premium fuel. Unit started on first pull. As a test I let the unit run for 20 minutes or so powering a 1200 watt toaster oven. Not the most scientific test, but I just wanted to see the unit work. So far so good. Time will tell as I use the unit over the summer.

A WELL THOUGHTOUT PACKAGE FOR SMALL POWER

JUST UNBOXED IT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND AM PLEASANTLY PLEASED WITH THE ENTIRE PRODUCT....I PURCHASED IT FOR TWO REASONS....FIRST....TO RUN THE A/C ON MY RV.....WHICH IT HANDLED WITH EASE... THE SECOND REASON WAS BECAUSE IT WAS BILLED AS HAVING A 3 YEAR WARRANTY...........I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO FIND THAT I SHOULD HAVE READ WITH MORE ATTENTION AS THE THREE YEAR PART ONLY PERTAINED TO PARTS.....MY HOPE IS THAT IT IS WELL MANUFACTURED TO THE POINT THAT I WON'T NEED ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS........

Check sparkplug

After reading other people's reviews about sparkplug problems, I pulled and checked the plug. The insulator of the plug had two large cracks in it. Replaced the plug and ran for four hours, no other problems. Waiting for a call from tech rep to discuss replacing the sparkplug.

Great Inverter Generator

I just picked up this generator today. Upon trying to lift the box I thought it was heavy, but after getting it unpacked I found it was very easy to carry around. Set up was very easy, and the oil funnel that actually screws into the oil access is a great touch. It started right up and ran great! I am looking forward to a long useful life out of this equipment. It replaces a larger generator that was too heavy to move around.

Started right up!

I just took it out of the box and added oil and gas.....started up on second pull. Very quiet at start up. Checked with voltmeter, looked good. Hooked up a small heater with 600, 900 and 1500 watt setting. Let run several minutes on each setting and now I'm going to drain the oil and add new oil just to be safe. But I'm very pleased so far!

Easy to store and easy to start

I have not used the generator yet but started it when I purchased it and was pleased with its small size and 2500 amp peak operation. It is not near as niosy as my last generator. Having been through 2 hurricaines and living near the Gulf of Mexico, I hope we never have to use it but I now feel prepared. My last generator was bigger but used fuel at a much more rapid rate. This will operate the window A/C we purchased for emergencies as well as lights and the all important coffee pot!
