Pros- Easy Assembly out of box; Everything needed to start and test generator out of box; tested perfect on propane, dual fuel is a massive plus; easy to move around and great construction; quiet operation for the amount of power generated
Cons- Only issue was having to figure out how much oil the generator needed, most engines will state how many quarts are needed for operation.
We bought this only recently, and have not tried it out yet. That being said, the unit looks great and has a lot of nice features (remote start, dual fuel, ample wattage). Only hiccup so far was an issue with the wheel installation. The one axle hole was too small, and the wheel couldn't go on. We eventually reached a service rep who told us this was an issue multiple customers were having, so they advised us to hit the axle pin with a hammer. (Not something we were going to do without their say so! Didn't want to void the warranty before we even used it...) Thankfully, this solution worked for us. Now we're just waiting for the electrician to hook us up with an outlet and an interlock kit, and we'll be good to go. Hoping we don't have to use it anytime soon, but are happy we have it on hand in case we do!
Did a two (2) hour easy break in, put in fresh synthetic oil. Runs perfectly. Put some load on to check voltage and frequency. Couldn't even detect drop in RPM, except by watching meter.
Just purchased - Love the large capacity and dual fuel option. Easy set up and intuitive controls. Unfortunately it came with a large dent in the tubular cage from shipping, the box was undamaged. Would have been a five star would it not have been for the damage.
