I bought this a little over a month, it shipped as promised, stated right up. easy assembly. We experience a lot of power outages on the Cape and I wanted a reliable unit that I didn't have to worry about fuel going bad in
We bought this generator to power some of the items in the house if at times it is needed. This generator starts up easy with either the remote, button, or pull string. It is easy to move around to wherever it is needed. Also, it can power many power hungry items without any issues.
Have not had opportunity to run it yet. 1.1 Liter bottle of oil supplied only filled it to "Low" mark on dipstick. Having generator be level looks to be important when checking oil as dipstick is on one side of engine block, and not centered in the middle. Pretty confident just from assembly that generator should work well.
Arrived in showroom shape. Simple to attach wheels (axel, washer and slip-pin one per side) and front supports (2 bolts per side - package even include a wrench/spanner to tighten 10mm bolts). Came with the required oil and handy funnel - just needed to poor in the easily accessible oil port. Fill it up with gas (suggest you uses a fuel stabilizer). Turn the fuel cock on. Simply connect the battery with a simple wire connector. Turn the switch on. HERE IS THE COOL PART - push the Remote Start button on the handy fob and Eureka! You have portable power!!!! (There is a pull start, and a push button start on the generator if needed)
This has plenty of power to run a whole house should the occasion arise. This is an insurance policy against major power outages or a zombie apocalypse!
Bought this generator to power my whole home after having rolling power outages! This thing is awesome, it’s sleek and a lot more quiet than I thought it would be. Extremely happy with my purchase and now I don’t have to worry about my family going without!
