bought it just before hurricane Helena hit the area. The power went out for week. gen. arrive a week, after the power was restored what little I'll used it very pleased with the results. Peace of mind now with it on standby whenever need it.
Gave my old unit to my daughter and decided to get what I really wanted, a dual fuel model. Read the reviews on the internet and concluded this was exactly what I was looking for. The power, ease of use, features and dependability are all top notch. Having extras like remote start, a built in hour meter/voltage meter/frequency meter are icing on the cake. Well packaged and everything included so it's ready to unbox and break in. The break in procedure is a little vague in the owners manual so I used the procedure that has served me well with my other small engines (30 minutes with no load then 1 hour at half load followed by an oil change). Did another 2 hours at half load and another oil change and then switched to full synthetic and the rings are seated and it's ready to go. It is loud and heavy but that's the price you pay for such a big unit.
