It is light and quiet, but the power is sometimes inconsistent. It somewhat does the job for me but it is limited. In general it is a good product for the price compared to a Honda. The customer service experience I had was disappointing.
Pros: Price, weight
Cons: Power consistency, poor customer service

My unit only takes 2 pulls to start and runs a long time without any attention. Just a heads up to be careful about how old your fuel is. I needed it for a power failure at my home in February and hadn't used it since camping in August. It would not start no matter what I did. I finally drained the fuel from the tank and carb and loaded it with fresh fuel. It started up immediately. Now I start it every month or so to make sure it's still happy.

The supplied oil matched the stated capacity so when I filled it, it overflowed a bit a made a mess. Dip stick is near the horizontal so visual checking is difficult. Started easily and put under full and medium load for a break in. The manual is good with lots of helpful info. Havent had any long term use yet but suspect it will be fine.Satisfied with this purchase.

I purchased this unit for our yearly moose hunting trip to our remote cabin. Was excited to try it out but after opening the box I found the accessory kit, oil, plug wrench, 12 volt charging cable and owners manual were missing. Also the black plastic cover above the spark plug was also missing. That was a little frustrating. The generator itself worked great. After the initial break in it was started and run for 6 days straight, 24 hours a day. It ran our refrigerator and a dozen lights no problem. It did chug a little when the refrigerator cut in but pulled through and was never a problem would have been 5 stars if the missing pieces were in the box!
Pros: Easy start, Quiet, Ran small refrigerator and lights no problem, Very good on fuel 11 hours on eco
Cons: 12 volt charging cable missing from box, Black cover where spark plug goes was missing, Spark plug wrench missing from box, oil Missing from box

I bought this to be able to circulate hot water heated with natural gas (in winter), fridge and freezer in an event of prolonged power outage. If outage occurs due to seismic event, it may not help if natural gas supply line is severed. So it does not provide perfect solutions but we can still keep foods in better conditions. With electricity supply, water and food it will be easier to stay comfortable

I have a camp off the grid and this generator fits the bill. It will run all the lights, TV and a small fridge. On average it runs 8 hours a day for the 3 months when the camp is used. Would have given a 5 star review if not for the refueling. The fueling port should be slightly slanted towards the front.
Pros: Quiet, light and easy to start.
