I bough this generator a couple of weeks ago. SO far I have not used it very much but when I have used it it has performed perfectly. Pulled it out of the box, put the wheels and the feet on, filled it with oil, hooked it up to a propane tank and hit the start button. It fired right up and ran smoothly. It is not nearly as loud as our old powermate generator which is about half the size. We have another Westinghouse generator which is an inverter model which we just love so when we needed to replace our generator to power the house during outages we went right to westinghouse generators.
This is the best generator you can buy with more features than any other in this price range and size. Both dual fuel options started right up. Remote starter cannot be beat.
