The gen came well packed. All has gone good so far. As soon as I get all of my parts and propane fuel since I cant find any non-Ethanol gas I'll know more.
It arrived this week and have really used it yet but it seems they have thought of everything. 50amp, 30amp and 20amp circuits plus a charger to maintain the battery.
Just bought this Dual Fuel Generator in Aug, 2021. Came well packaged, I installed the wheels and foot rests, put in the oil, attached the LP source, and started it right up -- took 2 attempted starts. Worked perfectly, looks like a well built generator !
Just unboxed my generator from the delivery service. Nice looking generator, and it was very easy to assemble the wheels and support legs. There appeared to be no surface damage(dents, cracks, etc) to the box or the generator from shipment.
I noticed there was a oil leak(about 1-2oz) from the generator during shipment. The shipping cardboard was dark brown and wet to the touch on the bottom of the container. This concerns me as there is a yellow tag attached that states "Caution Oil has been drained for shipping." 1. If the oil was drained, why do I have an oil leak? 2. Even if the oil wasn't fully drained, the oil drain bolt was completely tight. So, again, why do I have a leak and where did it leak from? Note- The leak didn't come from the included bottle of oil as it was sealed in a plastic ziplock bag.
Anyway, I will update this review one way or the other after I start up the engine to see if it works. I will also further inspect the unit to see if I can find out where the oil leaked from.
