Great Looking Unit

Just received the unit, what a compact design, easy to assemble, easy to get running, and powerful. I am looking forward to this unit getting me thru the tough times out on the farm during the winter. Fantastic value!
Received this generator yesterday. It took me about 30 minutes to unbox, install the wheels and rubber supports opposite the wheels, add oil, add gasoline and reread instructions on operation. Started up perfectly and I ran it about an hour and tested some power tools in my garage. Everything I tested work flawlessly. Have not tried propane yet as I will do that do in the next couple days. Manual states to break it in about 4 or 5 hrs and not to exceed a certain load during this time. There is nothing that I can say bad about it. Remote start/stop fob works great. Now to purchase fuel stabilizer and a couple more 5 gallon gas cans. Also will be installing direct connect to home electric with help from electrician friend. Will provide future updates.

Was able to have it hooked into breaker box & ran beautifully. The provided funnel made it extremely easy to fill the oil & appreciate it came with quart of oil, so know what to use for it. The battery tender provided will be a lifesaver being able to recharge, rather than replace! Also including a tool kit with the perfect size to be able to change spark plug & do any maintenance for the unit. Another great feature are the extra plug ins are all on the same side, easy to access & clearly labeled.
May work well but only if you have handy man skill

The welded on bolts for the rubber feet were so misaligned they would not work. I had to chisel off the bolts, file the frame smooth, and install them with bolts I purchased. Poor quality control there. Most people would return the unit, unable to install the feet.
I have only had the generator for a short time so I cannot comment on its reliability but it appears to be a well built unit. It fired up first time on propane and has the features I need, such as 240volt output and remote start.
