Very happy with start up. Started up on second push start. Runs great big test is when I really need it for a long period of time. I'm confident it will work out fine

AWESOME MACHINE

JUST GOT IT A WEEK AGO. I FEEL IT WAS SUCH A SMART BUY, COMPACT, EASY TO MOVE AROUND, MANY OPTIONS WITH THE TRI-FUEL, I PLAN TO RUN ON NG ONLY. REMOTE START, SAFTEY SHUT DOWNS, LOTS OF POWER AND CONFIGUATION OPTIONS. A BRILLIANTLY DESIGNED MACHINE. I WILL BE INSTALLING A TRANSFER SWITCH TO POWER MOST OF THE HOUSE, CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT POWER OUTAGE.

Well designed, flexible, and well built.

This is a well-made and easy to operate generator. With many useful features. It runs quietly and efficiently. It suits my purpose as a backup power source for my home. I really appreciate the flexibility it offers and the thoughtfulness of the little touches, like. The battery charger, propane connector. and the tool kit.

Powerful enough for what I need.

Tri-fuel feature is what I wanted. In the case of a disaster gasoline may not be available. Long time power outage could require replacing the propane tank. The natural gas will not run out. (of course an earthquake or an atomic bomb could even disrupt Natural Gas)

Whole house backup

Be sure to add the enclosed oil BEFORE using. Manual contains a lot of repeated warning. The unit requires a break in, so be sure to read that. Recommend using LPG or NG, using gas requires more work, (need to drain old gas if used infrequently). Ethanol is gas Is not recommended. Adding oil is a bit hard, need a funnel with a narrow opening. The remote is attached to the manual starter handle on the right side.

Great features and quality

I bought this generator for the electric start, the inverter technology, the lower running decibels and the ability to run on propane. I unpacked it and started it up and was impressed with the electric starter, the availability of remote starting with a FOB, and the much lower sound impact. It seems to be a very nicely designed and well-built machine.

Great Generator with plenty of power

I purchased this generator as a whole house back up for storm season. I don't plan to run my air conditioner with it so it has plenty of power to run everything that I need. Set up was very simple and it's really a nice generator. It will be all that I need.

First use of generator

Bought 2 months ago and have only run the generator once so far using gasoline. The generator was also only under minor load running a small air compressor and charging a phone (ran with no issues). I will complete a full load evaluation once I have the circuity completed to connect it to my home. Overall very easy set up and operation. Clarification in the manual would be appreciated as to if its safe to leave gas in the tank during extended storage and if it is just necessary to drain the carb. ECO mode is a very nice feature to match the needed engine rpm to the load on the generator. Running it with and without it on makes a noticeable difference in total run time for he same amount of fuel when it is below peak load.

Great Generator

I bought this generator in February 2026, and promptly used it during two power outages. It is a very quite generator for it's size; I can't hear it from my living room when it's running on the back patio. The tri fuel model is perfect for fuel options. Highly recommend.

Haven't ran it yet, but impressed with the feature

Just received today. Hope to complete unpacking tomorrow and begin breaking in. Already impressed with the provided tools in a handy pouch and the provided screw-in oil fill funnel. The installed oil drain hose should eliminate most of the mess of draining the oil. Unit appears solid and built for heavy use.
