I bought this generator for a backup on the camper . havnt used much but it doesn't start as good as I would like it too. Maybe when I use it more it might get broke in and start quicker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
Pros: Small and cheap to run. Cheap to buy.

We bought this to power our RV. Seems to be well made and I like the wheels and handle for mobility. Test run at the house with no problems and confident it will when it counts.

I read a lot of bad reviews of many generators including this one before I made my purchase. First of all, the price is great, the quality of the unit is superior to units of even higher price. It all works as advertised. I was the envy of the campsite having not to come out of my trailer in the morning to start the generator by using the remote to have my hot coffee and toast. I carefully read the owners manual and followed all the steps, including not overfilling the oil or the gas, using premium fuel, and noting the time between starts. I would start up the generator to run for 15 min and charge up everything before quiet time (11pm). This gave me plenty of time for the remote to still function in the morning (12 hour window before the remote start battery disengages (saving battery power). And every morning it fired up quickly. The only cons I have are: I wish it were lighter, I wish it was silent, and I was surprised that it took 5 or 10 seconds before the output power came on. Don't get me wrong, the first two items this machine competes with the market best.

I have a 3000 watt model and it works very good. I really like the remote start feature. A little loader than I expected but tolerably. A hundred pounds is a little bit much but Worth its weight in power.
Pros: Easy start fuel efficient powerful
Cons: Noisy

Recent power outage over several days and loss of food had me hunting for a generator. Having experienced the small inverter suit cased type from other makers (red and blue companies), had me in that same market segment again. Wanted enough power to run a household fridge/freezer and be portable enough to carry camping. This machine is an excellent compromise for that. More power would be ok, but we'd be going from 50ish lbs to 100. So I was very happy at the power/weight ratio, and the pricepoint. If I ever find that I need more power, I may get the adapter and a second generator. The genny came packed well. Instruction to add oil, the required tools, oil,and funnel were included. Running the machine was straight forward, and I ran the machine as recommended for break-in. Very solid, fit/finish is great and hope to have many years of solid use. Overall, extremely happy with purchase.
