Very nice generator. We needed a generator with a 50amp plug-in. This fits well foe off grid living as a backup system to recharge our solar battery storage when the weather is cloudy, raining and snowing. It give a great jump to our battery system. It easily starts with the electric start and remote start as well. Haven't had to use the pull start, but I assume it will be easy too.
We are so glad to bought it, at this moment we never know when the power shut down. We already used because at our area the power shut down for about 4 days, and this generator worked excelent for all these days. I really recomendent it.
Our power went out and I had no generator, but my son in law did. He brought over a duel fuel 9500w and using propane, we started it and ran cords to my refrigerator and freezer. I saved me from throwing out all my perishables. our power was out for 4 days and this thing didn't;t skip a beat. this convinced me to buy my own and I'm in the process of hiring an electrician to do a hook up to my breaker box with a plug on it to connect it to my generator.
Two times the generator was needed. Both times it would not start without using starter fluid directly. Sprayed into the carburetor. When it ran, it ran well. Since it’s under warranty and used only two times totaling < 10 hours. Asking the manufacturer correct the malfunction and make customer well. Thank you.
Although I’ve never had to use my generator in an emergency, I do start it up and run it for 20 minutes or so monthly. It starts and runs perfectly. I have an old generator its twice as loud as this one and its half as powerful. I would highly recommend this generator to anyone who is worried about being without power for an extended period of time
