Great features. Getting ready for the season. Just had the electricians install transfer switch - so we're ready for that just in case moment. With the way 2020 is going, I'm sure this purchase is a no brainer.
Just got this generator. Hooked it up to my underground propane tank, pressed the button and it started right up. Supports 50 Amp and 30 Amp service. Plan on putting in a dedicated 50A input to the house for those Florida hurricanes we know we will get. This thing can power my house and central AC units. Set up was simple as pouring in the supplied oil and connecting fuel. Nicely built unit, clean and well designed. I thought it was going to be a loud generator but it was not as loud as many I have heard. Only thing that was a little lacking was the 1 qt of oil that does not quite fill the motor. You will have to pick up a little more to fill it to the proper level. My wife and I are super happy to have this in the garage to power the AC on those super steamy hot Florida days when the neighborhood power lines are on the road. We have been without power for a week before in just such a situation. Not fun.
We just received the generator a couple of days ago. Very impressed with the ease of setup and within maybe 10 minutes, had it up and running. And, it looks good too!
I just bought this generator. It was very easy to assemble. The generator started up on gasoline easily the first time. It’s a powerful generator with great reliability reviews at a reasonable price. I am looking forward to many years of use from this generator.
This is a powerful generator in a relatively small package. I love the dual fuel capability and switching between the two fuels is very easy. the generator is supposed to be quieter than most other brands but still seems loud but it is what it is. this generator would benefit from an idle control which would likely extend it's running time. Overall I am very happy with purchase. Plenty of power with great features.
