I bought this 3 weeks ago and have only assembled, serviced and briefly ran under light load as I am in the process of getting home ready to accept this backup power! Generator arrived in good condition, was easily assembled and started rite up! Time will tell as I have not put under full load yet! This unit appears to have a lot of safety / electronic type equipment which is good however I don’t know how they will hold up down the road! One thing that I am not crazy about is the push button starting which is an automatic type function which is you push it once and then it automatically triggers the start function (it will automatically try to start 3 times),which is okay for when you want to use the remote control to start but I would rather have a manual type push button to press and hold to start at the generator! As I said, time will tell!!!
I purchased this generator a little over a year ago after Hurricane Beryl and finally took it out of the box 13 months later. I figured that the battery would be dead but it wasn't and the generator fired right up. I had a generator receptacle installed so I can just plug in the generator to my main panel. I am now able to run my central a/c and all of my lights, refrigerator and other accessories. This generator is a beast and has no problem powering up a 2600 square foot house. The one thing that I did was to install a soft start on my a/c unit but I'm pretty sure now that it was not needed. Solid purchase with no regrets.
