I bought this in 2 months ago, in January. Already tested and completed wiring to connect to home breaker. Enough wattage to run most of the house and the 50v connection is greate for running items such as air conditioner and a few other items. Great price and the duel fuel will be handy for keeping the propane on-hand if there are periods that the unit is not used for some period of time. I will not have to store the diesel for a long period. So Far great investment. My wife has wanted us to get this for many years, especially when the electricity was out for days at the time. good wattage for the price.
Mostly assembled - easy to unpack and set up without assistance. Included all accessories to get it running, including tools, battery charger, oil and a funnel. Dual fuel feature is very helpful in providing an alternative fuel source. Electric start, including remote, makes starting the generator very easy. Panel is easy to read. Seems extremely well made.
Unit was properly packaged. Installation of wheels and legs are easy. After adding engine oil, the unit cranked up with ease using propane fuel. Needed a home generator and this unit was affordable and met our needs.
Just received the unit from the freight company and set it up. Set-up was not too complicated and some of the needed tools were included. It started up with gas and propane right away. I had trouble trying to figure out how to drain the fuel, as the pictures in the included manual do not match the model I have. I am still trying to figure out how to drain the carburetor and tank. Therefore, 4 stars instead of 5.
Will do a better load test in a couple of weeks after I get the switch added to my breaker panel. That will be the true test.
