I bought this product in Aug. of this year. The assembly and functionality has been very easy. Had it wired to the house direct, at a small cost .It started right up on 1st try. I will sleep better knowing I am prepared to keep house functioning if we lose our power.
I'm at 80 years of age and have worked on machinery most of my life. I find this unit to be of good quality and build. At 220 pounds, the ball-bearing wheels are a must to move this into position, and the remote start future is an excellent add-in convenience. The ease of doing the required start-up includes oil, a small tool kit, a remote start, FOB, which must be paired per operator's manual, and the funnel is a snap, and I must mention that reading the well-written operator's manual is a must. I use propane only, but the 6.6-gallon metal fuel tank will work well if necessary. I did a remote start at over one hundred feet and was satisfied. Doing maintenance is well thought out when required. I believe you would be hard-pressed to find a better generator at this price point.
