Great Generator

I purchased this generator a few weeks ago and am very pleased with the performance. The generator is a dual fuel unit and I have used both propane and gasoline during operation.
Purchased to use if I lose electricity during a storm or Hurricane. Few days after purchase our electricity went out and got to try out the generator. It performed great!!
I have never had generators before but moving to Florida and being concerned with losing power during storms, I decided to do a bit of a research and get one that would give me things I need. I did not want to install permanent as it costs too much and does not have portability as this one does. I had electrician wire it up to my circuit board with all the safeties and precautions. We started it up and after a few misfires it came to life. All starts that follow did not have any problems. I guess the fuel had to make it through the system. Ran all my equipment without issues. Now I wind do that during the outage but I know that it is capable of my total load.
Very happy. And already recommended it to my friends.
I live in the Tampa Bay area and bought this dual fuel use generator a couple of weeks ago. We have an inground 200 gallon LP tank and I like the idea we'll be able to run the generator for extended periods without the risk of running out of fuel in the event of power outages due to hurricanes or other unforeseen circumstances. Now I just have to figure out how run power from the generator to the various appliances and portable AC. Hoping there's a way to wire into our main electric panel and run sections of the house from there by shutting off the main breaker and all other breakers other than those where we need power (e.g., kitchen, master bedroom w/portable AC). Will do more research and determine what's best and safest.
Received yesterday and did a test start today. It is a power generator started without any issue. Lot of features including Remote start, dual fuel, 30 and 50 amp output option. So far no issues.
Just purchased this beauty yesterday and will definitely come in handy as it is indented to power up an entire house for my special needs stepson. I installed a circuit panel plug to the electric panel on the house. Will return with a more complete review once used.
