I bought this a few weeks ago. Got it out of the box today. The instructions are clear and with the help of a friend it took very little time to get it set up and running. I like the remote start feature and the fact that I can use propane or gasoline. Hoping I never need to use it but I am comfortable with how to use it.
Living in Florida for 25 years and experiencing hurricanes, I have always just dealt with power outages at they happen. I'm finally at a point in life where I can afford a generator and did my research. This thing is sweet! Remote start and stop for when you need silence, because it is loud, it's a generator! You can plug in and trickle charge the battery, which is a nice touch. However, the 8500 wats running in propane is what sold me. It's much easier to store propane long term, than gas (in my opinion). This generator does a whole lot for it's price point.
