Compact and powerful for 110V. Only downside is you cannot connect 220V with this particular model.
Pros: Compact

I originally wanted the "Red" brand inverter, however I decided to take a chance on the Firman due to its lower price, fantastic warranty, longer features list, and greater capacity for the price. So far I have not been disappointed. I only have 8 hours on the machine so far, however during the break-in period (first 6 hours) it ran flawlessly. My break-in procedure was as follows, however following the directions in the user manual should be fine. 1st hour, no load-eco throttle on (low RPM) 2nd hour, no load-eco throttle off (high RPM) Full overnight Cold Soak. Hours 3-4, varying load, up to 50%, eco throttle off (high RPM) Hours 5-6, varying load, up to 90%, eco throttle on (RPM varies based on applied load) My only recommendation would be to change the oil after the initial 6 hours rather than after the first 20. After the break-in process described above, the oil was significantly darker, however the what concerned me was the 'glitter' suspended in the oil. I wouldn't want to leave that oil in there for another 14 hours with those particles in there. I'm not sure what that means for the longevity of the engine, however with the three year warranty, I have lots of time to figure that out.
Pros: Decent looks., Manageable weight for most., Quiet and fuel efficient at light loads, Remote start/stop, Warranty
Cons: Considerably louder/less efficient at high loads

I actually bought this generator a bit ago, but other than breaking it in, I have not had the chance to use it until now. We were at the lake and we lost power at our site. I fired up the generator, which is very easy to do with the electric start. The unit ran our AC unit with no issues. We are very pleased with how the generator performs. It is a bit louder than I was hoping, but once you step away a few feet it is no issue. We ran it powering our trailer with all typed of different loads for around 4 hours. It never burned a tank of fuel. It seems to be an excellent purchase. A good price for a good product. It maybe a touch louder than the red or blue generators, but it is also a third the price. I am very pleased with it, the remote start option is very handy, being able to start and stop the unit from the comfort of our trailer is a VERY nice feature.

I use it for charging my batteries when needed ,and when I have to use microwave or other larger kitchen appliances, don't like the 12 hour battery saver system , so far I'm happy with the purchase,have only use it a couple time as I have another remote start generator ,this one is a backup one for now ,
Pros: Very nice generator,starts easy ,good on gas
Cons: don't like the 12 hr battery saver system
