Generator was as described plus features not expected, such as battery charger, oil funnel,and engine oil were all included. Start up instructions were complete and easy to follow and unit started first time.
Purchased this generator because of 50 amp plug and the surge, running watts and dual fuel. When Helene hit Western NC, gas was hard to get. I like the propane run time. Just started it up and tried both fuel sources. Both worked great and 240 volt output. Easy to put it together and I liked the oil funnel. Great product at a great price.
I purchased this power unit to deal with weather issues that knocked out my power for 4 days during Hurricane Helene. I Have not had a chance to put it to the test yet but it appears to be quite capable of handling my home requirements. The box it came in was a bit banged up when I received the shipment but after opening it appears to be unharmed. I really like the fact that I can used two different fuels and the electric starting will be a major plus. At my age I'm not able to pull start many things especially if it wants to be cranky. The key FOB is definitely a plus not having to go out in bad weather to start the generator. I will follow up with more review after the break-in period. I plan on wiring the unit in thru my exiting breaker box.
I bought this generator to replace and old one that stopped working. The set up only took me and another person 30 minutes and we off and running. It is a bit loud but it's a lot more powerful than my old one. Hope I never "HAVE" to use it but I am ready when I do. I didn't need the key fob remote start but it's an added bonus and will come in handy in the winter. Runs great on both gas and propane. Instructions are simple as well.
We moved in our brand new house and we wanted to make sure we had a generator. There has been several hurricanes and unpredictable weather in our area. This one came highly recommended and so far we have no regrets. I suggest others to read the reviews and read through the manual. Staying prepared makes this purchase worth it.
Just purchased this generator in prep for any next storms of the century. It’s just what we need to power 80% of our home with a transfer switch or lockout kit.
