Fired right up! Eat your wheeties, though ;)

My husband and son were able to assemble the wheels, add the fuel, and crank with the key fob in less than 20 minutes time. We are not looking forward to using it, per se, but are thankful for it's potential to safe keep our fridges & deep freezers should we lose power again. My only dislike is that it weighs a ton. I'd say this is an 'onsite' unit and not reasonably portable without lift assistance of some kind.
Purchased to use as backup power for our home. The generator battery came charged and started with the electronic start on the 1st try. Very pleased with this duel fuel generator.
This model is powerful enough for our essential needs and easy enough to operate that I don't have to worry about it if I am away from home. My family can set it up and operate it easily on their own.
This generator has performed flawlessly from day one. I keep the battery on a constant charge from a nearby outlet and perform a test run once each month. It has served as a virtual whole-house generator during two separate blackouts, one of which required it to run continuously for almost 3 days. The 50 amp output has been sufficient for 2 refrigerators, washer/dryer, microwaves, assorted small appliances and a houseful of lights. The only downsides are that it is loud, and also not easily moved around due to its heft and the rigid wheels. I've only used it with gasoline, but it did test without a hitch using my BBQ's propane tank, a big plus if I ever need to use that feature.
Heavy, well built generator. The dual fuel capability was the main selling point, it was very easy to set up. The owner's manual was easy to follow but it needs a revision concerning the remote start key fob - pairing was not needed (worked right out of the box!).
