Choke sticks in very cold weather , Firman sent me a new carburetor however that one also sticks in cold weather . Little inconvenience but a very good quiet unit
All i can say is awesome. I love this gen. So quiet and the remotes start saves me from going out to start it in thew mornings.. You wont be sorry if you buy this gen..
So far so good. Bought it to use for camping with our trailer. I was skeptical on buying a brand I've never heard of and new to the market. But for the price it has performed well. I start it once a month like any gas engine equipment should be with no problems. It runs the air conditioner, microwave and TV at the same time. I don't give it 5 stars only because I'm not sure where to get warranty work done. But then again it hasn't needed any
It light, easy to use and more useable wattage than Honda at a third of the price. I have it wired to supply my home during power outages and sent for camping season.
Great product but the electric choke stuck after first trip

Verified Purchase:Yes
Went camping for 5 days used the generator a few times to charge up the camper and make coffee in the morning. Well I got home and stored it away. A month later I went to use it and the electric choke won't shut off. Can't get ahold of customer service and when I did he thought it was the motor so he sent me one and I installed still doesn't work. I should have just bought a Honda
I use this generator with my travel trailer. It works well enough and has power to run my A/C, micro wave and so forth. What I dislike is that the on board battery isn't charged by the generator. I have to actually plug the generator into a 120v outlet at home (or wherever) in order to charge it so I can use the remote control. The remote dies fairly quickly. This is actually by design. Why it can't natively charge the on board battery is beyond me as it has the ability to charge 12v batteries. I would have rated it higher if it would do that.
Pros: It is easy to maneuver with wheels and handle, it runs for a long time on a tank of gas, powerful generator. Noise level is good.
Cons: onboard starter battery not charged by generator, remote dies within a few hours
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
