I bought this to use as a back-up for my whole house. It will not power everything but should power the necessities. So far I have ran it for the break in and then drained all of the gas out. It started and ran great on gas and propane. I have floated the neutral and should have it wired into the main panel soon and will begin testing capabilities.

Just received my new generator. It was very well packaged. General inspection shows everything looks in good shape. I did not yet start the generator. I got prompted to do review during registeration to recieve free cover so completing it. I will update review when I start and do more testing.

Very user friendly from assembly to starting. Love the remote control start and the amount of information that the front panel displays. Looks very well built and has an excellent design for a normal hand to access the parts that will need future maintenance.

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!

Just received today. Hooked up propane and it took some time to start but was expecting that with propane and being new. Auto choke was the issue, I believe. Following break in procedures, hopefully everything will go as planned. Runs quiet and smooth.

while it has not been put in use as yet for power failure it is of high quality. It was easy to assemble though I little heavy for me (I am nearly 70) once together it rolls easy. Access to the oil stick was easy and with the included funnel it was no problem filling with the oil. Oil is provided however since it can get quite cold here in Wis I chose to put 5w-30 instead since our temps can get well below zero in winter months and chart recommended that for lower temps. I am having a transfer switch installed to power up my well pump and a few other circuits which this generator should have no problem with its rated 11000 watts. Most household appliances run on gas and do not care to power up AC so this unit will perform great.

Pro's: Well built, easy on/off no-tool access panels, starts on 1st try every time, easy assembly, dual fuel is a big plus, oil changes can actually be done without spilling a single drop due to the oil drain tube, air filter is easy to access and the included remote on/off fob is a nice touch. Con's: only minor, for as heavy as this unit is I would have liked a sturdier foldable handle and with the power this unit produces (I wish all manufacturers would incorporate) a bonded/unbonded toggle switch for easy selection between extension cord usage and whole home transfer switch hook up would be useful.

I received this generator and want to say that setup was easy. All tools needed were included and instructions were clear. I've run one hour of breakin so far on Propane and it couldn't have been easier. The one caveat is that examples online show pouring the whole quart of oil in. I only used about 4/5th. There is a note that says there may be a bit of oil left from the factorey test. I checked oil both before and after running and was topped off.

I just received it. Assembly was simple and straight forward. After adding the oil, I started it up and it ran smooth and quiet. I will do the break-in run in the next few days. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars rather than 5 is because I haven't used it yet.

Pros: Quiet, compact many features starts easily Cons: Low ground clearance due to short stabilizer feet and small "mower-like" wheels, which anticipate having problems moving it out of garage in any amount of snow. No way to keep Igentent cover on and use the handle which is ridiculous. Unit should have support side bars for cover that wont interfere with gauges muffler or handle! Kevlar strap covers muffler as no way to put lower due to taper of housing. Manual not accurate of many counts, No oil drain nut to remove has attached hose with plastic cap tucked behind wiring. Oil fill funnel has threads which are useless as wrong threads requires holding tight to avoid leaks. Total gasoline capacity in instructions says "1.1 liters" really? Battery indicator light simply displays on no way to tell if low. Rubber caps to protect outlets not heavy duty and require pressing from top to bottom carefully to ensure proper fit. After adding more hours to united connect it to power inlet box will update
