Second generator purchased. First provided to family who lost power during storms. I like the size and usefulness of all the electrical options...makes it good for both home backup as well as other more fun uses.
Purchased this unit at the recommendation of my electrician to be connected to a transfer switch in the event our power goes out. I live in Florida and it's part of my hurricane preparedness for our new villa. Assembly was quite simple. One small issue was one bolt that attaches the vibration leg was crossed threaded but that was quickly corrected. Followed the instructions hooking up battery, adding oil (which is a plus they provided in the box) using the supplied funnel (that was easy with the funnel provided). Attached the propane tank, turned on the switches and hit the start button twice. It fired right up and ran smoothly. After running for about 5 minutes I plugged in some electric tools and everything performed as expected. Turned off unit and restarted using the remote, hit the start button twice (as instructed) and the generator again came to life. So far I'm pleased with my purchase. Like the wheels, remote/elec start, the fold down wheelbarrow type handle and the available outlets.
I bought this last week and it was easy to understand the manual and get the generator up and running. It has a lot of good features and a good value for the money spent.
I bought this generator to replace my homelite 5500. Tornado season will be here in October,I’ll be ready! I especially like that it is dual fuel and I can run off my 120 gallon propane tank. Good aesthetics,easy to start and has a remote!
Product was easy to assemble and after installation of provided oil. Tools were provided. Unit started right up. This unit will suit all my power needs. So far very pleased
