Once I added fuel and oil it started up right away. tested with an electric heater and spotlights. Worked fine for that but will need to test again sometime under full load. One thing I’ll add is that the website is problematic. On chrome it wouldn’t accept my email and on safari it won’t let my agree to terms and conditions.
First of all I love the dual fuel and it started right up on both propane and gasoline. the controls are easy to use. I can use the 30A outlet with my present cord and will try the 50A outlet when I get that cord. The only disappointment is that one of the rubber foot brackets came bent and the rubber foot was slightly ripped like it got crushed in the box....The bottom of the frame was also scratched since I only flipped it over on other cardboard as i cut the side of the box to remove it. Otherwise it works perfectly fine.
I bought this generator 2 months ago, got it all set up and oil added on a level patio stone. Everything started and went well, then a day later we had an outage and I was glad I had it! It handled everything great!
This unit has a very sturdy frame. Great protection all the way around. Starts like it should, and the supplied trickle charger ensures the electric start feature fires it up effortlessly.
The setup was easy and could be done by one person. The oil fill spills over, so fill it SLOWLY. It took another 1/4 quart to get it to the middle of the dipstick. It started on the 4th try, and the start button provides 3 attempts automatically. Nice feature! Be aware the Key FOB is clipped on the pull starter. Can't give a higher review yet as we haven't connected it to the house. But I know WH has the best products, as my Pressure Washer performed flawlessly this past summer.
