I went with a bigger more powerful generator than I originally shopped for. This one is easy assembly - really just wheels and feet. Although you have to be ready for its weight as you put the wheels on, once they are on this is easy to move around. Operation is logical and user friendly, and the peace of mind of having enough power if needed is great.
I recently purchased this generator and I'm very happy with it. I unpacked it and followed the instructions provided. Thankfully there was a full manual included so I didn't have to go online to find it. After putting the few pieces together I added oil with the oil provided and thankfully they provided a funnel to use. Otherwise it would have been a chore to get the oil into it. I used the remote start and it fired up right away. I ran it for a while and went into my house to remote stop and start it a few times. No issues and the distance of the remote was ample. I don't necessarily wish for a power outage but I am anxious to see how well it will work and power the house. It appears to be a great product.
I have lived in FL for over 25 years without a generator. After the last hurricane in October I said enough was enough. This should be great for my whole house. Hope we don't have to use it but so glad I have it if needed.
I need a repair manual for this model. Less then 30 days and the connecting rod broke. Contacted company I bought it from told me to file warranty claim. So I did. Was told to find a shop and they would pay 200 to have it looked at but after that I needed to cover the rest! I will never buy one of these again!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
