Although not needed in real time use yet, this model has started without hesitation each time it is fired up. The battery has needed trickle charge once but only took a couple minutes to reach starting capacity. Will be a reliable member of the family
I bought this a couple of months ago to hook up to my power pole in case of an outage. I haven't had an outage yet but since have used it with a blower around the property and a welder. All the power I need with a 220 amp stick welder. I am also looking into the smart start switch which automatically starts when the loss of purchase power. Really like this machine. The only thing is when it is super cold, you have to manually choke it until it starts.
Wish I had this generator when the derecho hit us in Iowa in August. Looked for everything my old one was lacking and this one fit the bill. Just as quiet as my old 3500, and will run my whole house. Easy assembly, started right up. I'll be ready for the next derecho.
Just started yesterday. Initially, I forgot to open the fuel valve, went back to the manual and locate it; no problem. This is a very smooth machine. All controls and warnings are marked very well. It is heavier than it looks in the videos. I will need somebody to help me to move the machine to the site where I am going to keep it. Looking forward to a power cut now.
