Running RV A/C in the Nevada desert for 6 weeks.

This generator is a quality built product. I have it situated in the bed of my pickup truck. It ran my RV A/C quite well once I determined that the plastic air filter cover was not allowing enough air into the engine, possibly due to exhaust gasses accumulating in the truck bed on windless days. It ran perfectly with the cover off and I eventually altered the cover by drilling ~seven ~3/4 inch holes into it to allow more air in. This was not a problem on windy days. Also recommend changing the oil, as specified in the owners manual, especially after the first ~25 hours of use. I am impressed with the good quality of this product.
Pros: Quality built product.
Cons: Air filter cover does not allow enough air in.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The generator used specifically for RV camping off the grid. Runs very efficient with the fuel. Very very poor customer service. It took two days of calls to try to resolve a issue. Promised call back never got them. Last call advised we would be leaving in the morning the next day so just disregard our request. Otherwise it's a very good generator I would rank it at a 10+
Pros: Great fuel economy runs very well.
Cons: Very poor customer service

Great generator for the price

I really like this generator. It runs my microwave, AC and coffee maker (not at the same time). Its as quiet as my buddies Honda and the remote start is handy, especially on a cold morning. It has two minor drawbacks in that it has a manual choke and is pretty picky with fuel. You really need to run the 87 octane or better and old gas will cause it to run horribly. I used some gas I had purchased about a year ago (had been treated with Stabil every 3 months) and the generator would idle but any load would cause it to fail. Once I got the stale gas out of it, it ran like a champ. I had a power outage at home and this unit ran my refrigerator and freezer for 11 hours until my power was back on. Overall I would say if you buy one you will like it. I would give it 5 Stars if it had an automatic choke.

Havent had a chance to really put it to use, just a lil break in running before it goes to the lake, but I am happy with it. The remote is awesome, its quiet and everything seems to work great. Also it showed up at my door broken from shipping and doing the warranty was quick and simple, firman had the parts were here before the seller even got back to me

I have owned this generator for 3 weeks. Used it several times after proper break in. Very impressed with the quality. I have a much larger generator to power the whole house. This is excellent for small appliances and just to have as a backup. Remote start is too cool. Highly recommend the remote start.

Disappointed that it only holds 1.8 gallons of gas. Also for being the "Whisper Quite" model, it is not quieter than any other generator. I do like that it does have remote start.
Pros: Remote start
Cons: Not quite, Only holds 1.8 gallons of gas
