I bought this in June 2025 for my parents' home in Florida. It's now August and I have just unboxed and assembled it. That was easy enough for me a 62 year old female. Easy to connect the battery (which thankfully was still charged even after sitting a couple months) easy to add oil, easy to add gas. Not so easy: locating the fuel shutoff valve selector. Diagrams in manual do not lead you to it. I had to have someone help me on that one. Right now I am running the generator through its break-in period and have not yet put any electrical load on it. But so far so good.
