I purchased this just before the last hurricane and although I didn't need it, the comfort knowing I have backup power helps me feel prepared for power outages in the future.
I don't have a lot of hours on this generator--I have just tested it and used it minimally for the break in process. It appears to be well built and easy to start--with both the electric and pull cord. It is noisy as expected, but not as bad as others I've seen that were smaller.
I was happy to order this generator from a Canadian Company. I was hoping to find one totally made in North America but that is hard to find. It arrived well packaged and on time. It was easy to assemble with the tool provided. The dual gas feature is super, Wery easy to start. The only donwside is that I found it a little bit noisy. It is now connected to my Hydro panel and tested. Works nicely.
