Good option for house backup (one 20Acircuit only)

I bought this to run critical loads for the house during power outages. I finally got around to running a full load test today and it worked just as expected. I just added oil and gas and it started right up. I then connected loads one by one. Of course you have to look at the loads you want to connect, running and start-up, and get a generator of the right size, but I was able to run my furnace, hot water heater, sump pump, full size refrigerator, and computer/internet/wifi all at the same time. I also took the time to install a dedicated generator circuit in the basement so that I can just plug the generator into one spot, then connect extension cords to those receptacles (see photos, very convenient). I used a Reliance Transfer Switch TW151 for the furnace circuit connection (see separate review for that, easy install). You should have an electrician do any wiring and install the transfer switch if you use one of course!
It's pretty quiet, but that was not a big concern for me. The eco mode works: the motor ramps up and down depending on the load. I also like the info panel where you can toggle between power output in kW, fuel level, runtime remaining, and voltage. I didn't think I'd use that but it is pretty neat. This is the first I've started it up so can't speak to longevity or reliability but so far, so good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:No
I'm glad I don't need it right away. I put in gas. Put oil in up to the H on the dipstick.put about a 1/2 gallon of gas in. Turned it to Choke. Pulled 5 or 6 times...nothing. Hit the reset button. Pulled 4 or 5 more times...nothing. Operated the choke-run off switch and saw that it was adjusting the fuel. I opened the drain fuel line and watched it fill the tube. I called customer service who recommended I take it apart to make sure all connections are secure. There is one connector with a black and red wire that is hanging out there but I dont see anything to plug it into. I put it back to together, only lost 2 screws, and no change. I need help before a storm comes.

Is it new?

Just unpacked a brand new generator.
Look at these scratches.
Don't get me wrong. I will put scratches on this over time. I just wanted to be the one to do it.
Seems to run fine. I'm sure I will be happy. How disappointing.
