The generator came with a container of oil, so after I added the oil and a little fuel, I pushed the start button and it started right up. I have not used it under load yet. To tell you the truth, I hope I never need it. I live in Florida so I bought this in case of a hurricane. I have it set up so I can hook it to the main breaker so I can run the stuff I need to run. I plan on testing it out soon and will write another review.
I just opened the box and assembled. The assembly was very easy, 15 minutes max. It started right up with the FOB. Very happy with this purchase so far.
I got this back in January and since then, our home has lost power several times. This has successfully been able to run our WHOLE home on a 50A, air-con included, to keep us completely comfortable during storms and new-construction related power outages. My ONLY gripe about this is that it's so big and heavy (for obvious reasons) and the wheel's do not come attached. It took two average people to turn it side wise to attach the two wheels and feet to make it easier to move.
It was easy to assemble and after a couple of pulls it started right up! The best part is that it's dual fuel! We burn propane so always have a lot on hand!
I bought this generator recently and it works great. Having a relay station set up this week so we are prepared to keep power during hurricane season. The remote start is such a great feature since we are getting older we don't have to pull on the cord.
