Great So Far!

I've been unable to get this set up due to circumstances beyond my control. The snow is on the ground and I cut open the box. Everything is clearly marked, assembly was quick. I attached the battery, put in the enclosed oil, attached it to a propane tank, and push the start button. It started. All very simple. It gives the impression of being a beast.
Just purchased this item and haven’t had time to really test it out. But easy set up and started right away. Have me very optimistic so far. Looking forward to having reliable power next outage. A bit larger than I thought and louder too, but not unreasonably so.
I brought this 2 weeks ago just set it up. We ran it for the break in cycle and it runs so easy and quiet. We have a lot of power outages going into the winter here on the east coast. I love the idea of the starting fob so I don't even have to go out in the bad weather to start my new generator. The few years ago we had a major power outage with no power for a week. The only thing that saved our food from going bad and the house from freezing was the old generator we had at that time. The trouble was it ran gasoline only and with the power out all over no gas station could pump gas. So with this generator being duel fuel I think will be fine if we ever have that type of power loss again.
This is a great generator for the price. I had an electrician install a 50amp lockout so I can power my home during an outage. I will be testing everything soon, but expect no issues. It is heavy until you install the feet and wheels. I suggest reading through all set up and maintenance instructions thoroughly before using, even if you have used a generator before. This is my first generator and at this point I am very satisfied with this purchase.
