Peace of Mind

I received the unit about two weeks ago. I haven't had a chance to start it up yet. But it's on my to do list this week. Plan to start with propane so as not to have to drain gasoline. Having a transfer switch installed and I'll be ready for any power failures. I'm glad and happy with my purchase after months of reviews and answered questions.

First to answer a couple of my own questions.
1. When charging Battery leave batter switch off and only charge for 6-8 hours
1. When charging Battery leave batter switch off and only charge for 6-8 hours
2. Propane usage: up to 7hours on a 20lb bottle at 50% load.
When firing it up for the first time using electric start, i did have to manually place the choke on for 5 seconds then switch back to auto choke. The generator came in a nice package was actually impressed they sent it with a real wrench and not one just punched out of flat steel. Other than the two questions I had to email them about mentioned above start up and assembly was really easy. Ran for 30minutes without load and then ran my house off of it for 30minutes.

Great Generator but was DOA simple fix though

Generator arrived undamaged, look very clean and sleek. Instruction are easy to follow and was quickly ready to start.
First start, generator would crank but not start. did basic T/S, oil, gas check spark plug gap, check if fuel was in carburetor, all was good. Tried propane worked great, looked on line and found there has been issues with carb. being dirty taped on fuel bowl and generator started right up and works great. Restarted several time on issue. Ran 30 min. works great
If the issue with the carburetor was not there I would give it a 5 star but a generator like this should not have build up in the carburetor on delivery.

Everything in one

I purchased this particular generator after suffering through a winter storm without power for 8 days. After weeks of research I landed on this one. I am very pleased I took the time to research various generators. This one is amazing and simple to use. I haven’t even put gasoline in it yet. So far I have been running it on propane and it runs without any issues at all. Setup was effortless and with the installation of a transfer switch, this bad boy will power the most important electrical components of my house when I need it most. I highly recommend this product.
