This generator has all the features I wanted

Bought this late last month and finally started it today after the inverter generator and all the cables arrived. Everything matched what I expected from the advertising. Two small annoyances were (1) a funnel that did not screw in correctly making it difficult to use and (2) an inconsistency in giving different names to the "start/stop" or "battery" switch. Cranked and ran fine today on propane.

Well Built Product

I purchased this inverter generator to replace my older unit. I wanted an inverter generator, since I have appliances and computers that would be protected better with cleaner power. I also wanted the option to power the entire home, and the 9K running watts will do that easily. The unit came packaged very well, and with easy to understand instructions. I also like the dual fuel feature, since getting gasoline isn't easy to get during a major power outage. I haven't fired it up now, haven't needed to, but will do so in the spring when the snow is gone.

Mobile RV Power

We bought this to power a mobile medical unit turned camper. We needed enough power to run a rooftop AC, microwave, TV, small hot water heater, lights, and battery chargers. The product arrived in great shape. I unboxed and assembled it with the included tools with ease. Followed the instructions for adding oil, connecting the battery and hooking it up to a propane cylinder. 1st start was no problem and it was much quieter that I expected. I powered up some things inside (including the AC) and was amazed that it did not seem to phase this inverter generator at all! Good purchase that we hope will last many years.

Runs Great!

I am now prepared for Hurricane season! This generator runs my whole house. I have a 4ton variable speed inverter Heat Pump that purrs like a kitten with this unit running no sweat. A 1/4 of the price of a fixed installed generator and will get what I need running in a power outage!

So far so good

Bought to power our home in the event of a power outage. Just finished the break in period and have not had to use it yet for its intended purpose. Have powered up a few devices to make sure everything works. No issues at all and am happy with the db level.

great invertor

Just got this and doing the break in period. So far easy directions and started right up. run 25 % load for break in period. Easy access to the sides and the oil change should be a breeze since they have a hose to empty the oil. I wish the % load lights and the fuel lights would be a little brighter.

Quiet

After 8 years of our older generator and all That loud annoying sound this is such an improvement and an upgrade. The automatic start makes it convenient the big wheels and the handlebar allow for easy maneuvering. Looking forward to having power during our next hurricane.

Powerful & Quiet

Great machine with excellent power. It's very quiet, which is something I was really interested in. Compares very well to most of the top end generators on the market today and considerably less expensive. Also love the fact that it is parrallel capable should the need arise in the future.

Huge, heavy, and super quite!! This is well built!

Unboxed and installed the wheels, front legs, and handles, this has to be done before adding oil!! Once you get it upright on its on its wheels and feet, you can add the supplied oil. This comes with a small tube/funnel to use to fill the oil and all the tools you'll need to assemble it. they aren't cheap flat metal tools either! The side panels have sound deadening foam and it really works, this was so quiet when it was running. I used LP gas out of a 20lb bottle to get it started and ensure it works out of the box. I connected a compressor up to it and let it go. Barely even acknowledge the load from the compressor. With LP gas, expect it to take a second time to start due to the priming. I am beyond and impressed with this, I am looking forward to losing power now just to let this thing power my small house!
