Setup and initial startup worked great out of the box. No issue and first test went well. We’re ready for hurricane season now.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Unit

I bought this unit to replace a smaller 5500 watt unit to power my house when we lose power
I am very happy with the purchase
Cant wait to lose power to see how well it powers my home
I only gave 4 stars because I haven't run it enough top find out if their are any problems.

Backup Power in Florida
on August 16, 2025
Posted by: Florida Man 727

The dual fuel is excellent when gas was hard to find, the propane got us through until we could. The remote lets us turn it off and on when not needed from the porch - no need to venture out into the weather. It is for a small 800 sq ft cottage - powers everything but the on-demand hot water heater on propane - that is not a priority in the sweltering heat of Florida. Since this is an emergency backup power source, the propane makes maintenance easy-peasy.

This is the perfect generator to power majority of my home (2000 sq ft) during a power outage. Easy to assemble the few parts needed to roll around. I would recommend to everyone. Really love the push button/remote start up. Easy to start.

Started first time

This appears to be a well-made generator. It arrived boxed with no damage. Assembly was very easy. The unit came with oil, 1.1-quart container, and a very nice, angled funnel which made filling the engine mess free. I kept the 1.1-quart container and cable tied the funnel to it. I will fill the 1.1-quart bottle from a gallon of oil I purchased when i change the oil. It makes it a no brainer on how much oil it takes. Although I always manually check the oil level before each use. I will probably never put gasoline in this unit. I don't want to worry about keeping the gas fresh. With using propane, you do loose a little power, but for my purpose, it is more than enough to run my whole house or my 5th wheel RV with two ac's if needed. I hooked up the propane hose and checked for leaks. I also made sure the main breaker was in the off position and started the unit with the remote control that came with it. It started first crank. I also used the push button and the pull to start feature and all started with ease. I ran the unit and connected small items at first. After the unit was properly broke in, I connected it to the RV. It powered everything with power to spare. The unit is a little loud, but when you need this for emergencies, that is insignificant. The unit has many nice features. I really like that it has a remote that will work up to 99 feet away. That way, I can set up the unit away from the house and not worry about CO fumes. I am very satisfied with this unit so far. I recommend this if you need a nice portable generator. Be advised though, it does weigh a little over 200 lbs. With the solid wheels and pull arm, it is easy to move though. I hope this information helps with your decision to buy one. Have a great day, Billy W.
