I just got this generator yesterday. I purchased it for the flexibility of dual fuel and it is large enough to still run my small A/C unit, fridge and freezer. I like the fact that is still has the pull start option, as batteries and electronic push buttons will eventually have issues. It is heavy at 220 lbs dry, but is easy to unpack and assemble the wheels, feet, battery connection, and engine oil. Hooked it up to propane tank for test and started on the 5th pull. Started on 1st pull each try thereafter. Push button start on the console worked fine, as did the remote start key fob. I tested the fob at about 50 yards, and it started and stopped fine. Manual states will start up to 109 yards. Noise level is reasonable for the size of generator. Rolls well with the hinge out handle and large wheels. The 120 V AC GFCI plugs worked fine. Have yet to test the 240V outlets. Only tool not provided is a crescent wrench to tighten the propane connection to the supplied hose/regulator. Documentation is easy to follow and provide adequate level of detail. Too early to comment on long term performance, but early indications are favorable.
I survived Hurricane Irma but was without power for 8 days in the Florida heat. Now I am whole house ready for the next time! Easy to assemble and start up and the dual fuel capability allows me to stock propane and not worry about finding gas during a hurricane. Very pleased with this generator and would recommend it to others.
This seems like a great generator, only used once so far but started right up with the electric start( great feature) also has manual start and remote start, dual fuel, small screen with all the info you need and even a fuel level... not to mention all the power you need at a great price, def recommend!
I just purchased this generator, and it was so easy to set up and start using. The remote start works great. No problem at all handling my electrical load.
I ordered this for Hurricane Laura and luckily did not need it. It arrived 3 days before scheduled delivery date. Instructions were clear and assembly was easy. I connected it to my propane tank and it started right up.
Just unboxing and I’m impressed with the quality, the superb documentation and overall appearance of how well manufactured this thing is. I have already recommended this to one of my friends.
Bought this a few weeks ago and already used it last night due to the storm we got in CT from the remnants of a severe tropical storm. Fired it up right away and it went to work. Peace of mind for sure as it ran all nite. Worth the investment.
