We use it when the power goes out in our town and we use it for extra power for the motorhome and use it for the electric chain saw, for firewood while camping. It's easy to move, reliable and powerful including being weatherproof. If you need a smaller generator I would recommend it.
Im a full time RVer and purchased this product as I could not afford a Honda.This product has never let me down.Half the price of a Honda and just as quite.Quality is superb as is the ability to add another and run in tandem should you need added power. Im a happy bunny and saved myself a bunch of money.
Put oil and fuel in it and it started up and worked great. Guide tells you to use 87 or higher octane gas but after using it I didn't drain the fuel from the carb and left it for two months and the fuel went bad and wouldn't start. Small engine repair guy recommended I use high octane gas only and make sure you follow the guide and don't leave any fuel in the carb bowl when storing. I will also use fuel stabilizer from now on.
I use this mostly for camping and hunting. Works great good on fuel. Have ran it all night with varying power loads. Has a 20 amp blade plug. Wish it was a twist lock. Also is a little hard to start when it sits for a lock time. But after that starts like a charm. Fairly quite, but not honda quiet. Not honda price either. Eco mode works well unless something starts up that is close to max rating. Then it is better to be at full power ahead of time.
