Very easy to set up, took a couple tries to get it to start but that is to be expected as it was shipped dry. Very nice unit with plenty of power for my needs as a backup for the house in Florida in case of a hurricane.. It is not particularly noisy and it has plenty of outlets in many configurations so even without a transfer switch it will be able to be used. The included battery charger and propane regulator and hose is greatly appreciated. There was plenty of charge in the battery for the initial start up and test so no waiting for the battery to charge, Excellent!. Dual Fuel ability is exactly what I wanted too. I am very pleased with the purchase!
I found it very easy to get the generator put together and going. The directions were very easy to follow. The features are outstanding. It has remote start, duel fuel with transfer from one to the other on the fly, a gauge that tells you all you need to know, and everything that was promised.
Purchased on 3/16/2021. Pros: Easy to set up. The generator is well labeled. Easier to move than expected. The electric start and key fob work flawlessly. The data center has a built in maintenance reminder. The real test will be during the next substantial neighborhood electrical failure. Cons. The crankcase holds 1.1 liters of oil (slightly more than a quart) Oil changes will require 2 quarts of oil with a lot to spare.
First generator and I am very impressed !..Started first time. Neighbors are jealous ! No frame of reference as far as loudness. Very sexy machine! Cheers!
