I bought this at the end of last years hurricane season and just broke it in for the next one. I've run it for about 3 hours on propane in my break-in cycle and changed the oil a couple of times. The only assembly was attaching the wheels and feet which only took a couple of minutes. I took the spark plug off to put a bit of oil in so I didn't dry start and that was easy. I also changed the oil a few times inbetween cycles which was also easy. Started right up the first time each time. Your not going to fit a standard oil pan under it and it is a bit to heavy to lift for an oil change. I just used a small rectangular piece of Tupperware that was looking rank anyway and it worked great.
The generator was bought for the purpose of partial home power backup through a transfer switch as we reside in a hurricane susceptible area. Generator has had no issues running on either propane or gasoline and powers the air conditioner, refrigerator, lights/television, and hot water heater without issue so far. I would purchase again without hesitation.
Received this generator a few weeks ago. Fired right up using propane. I like the having the propane option so I can start it once a month without having to mess with gasoline and its shelf life.
Worked well right out of the box! Directions were easy to follow and I had it up and running in less than 15 minutes. I love the ability to power with propane and gas.
