Great value!

I just purchased this generator and I’m impressed with it’s features. The generator arrived in perfect condition and was easy to set up. I had it up and running on a LP tank in about 15 minutes. I’m enjoying the piece of mind knowing that it’ll be ready for the next power outage.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Generator

from Spring, TX
Bought the unit in April 2022. Arrived well packaged on a small wood pallet. Easy to open and remove using provide moving handles. Setup and operating instructions were easy to follow. All parts, lube oil, accessories were provided. Tooe less than 30 minutes for assembly and readying for startup. Battery needed some charging before use, with provided charger. No issues. Startup was easy and immediate with FOB or start button. All readings were a go. Haven't yet used it but all appears in order. Nice generator. Control panel well laid out and functional. Would recommend to others based on what I've seen thus far.

Excellent Customer Service

Had this delivered and it worked great, but developed a small noise in the starter. Emailed Customer Service and they were extremely prompt addressing this issue, and sent me out a new starter no-charge. Now there's no starter noise, and the generator runs like a freight train!

Easy to use

from LeRoy, MI
I bought this a month ago and have only tried it out once. It started on the second try and I only had to push the button once. It's not the quietest generator but it is not too loud. It's very easy to use and set up. I hope I won't need it next winter but I should be set when I do.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Robust design! Simple set-up.Purrs like a kitten!

from Old Town, FL
Minor assembly went easily, added oil, connected the propane line, and started after about 2 seconds of cranking. Ran smooth, and quieter than expected.
Was afraid for the worse when it arrived, as the packaging was destroyed by the shipper, but amazingly all the parts were there, and the wrap around frame protected the generator well. It arrived on end instead of on its base, but other than a couple minor scratches, it was undamaged. Great design, and well built!
Really like the push button start, as well as the multi-function status meter on the front panel.
It’s intended usage will be a back-up for the inevitable hurricanes here in Florida, so the bonus remote start key fob will allow me to cycle it as needed to conserve fuel, without having to trudge out in the weather to strop and start it.
Really slick!
It was specifically purchased due to its dual fuel capability, and unless it is an absolute emergency, it will never see gasoline. Have a 100lb tank of propane all ready to go, and know from experience that abstaining from gasoline will prolong engine life, not to mention never having to worry about propane going ‘bad’ if not used! Another plus for the product!
5 stars well deserved!

Startup & Run didn't go well
on June 12, 2022
Posted by: Need mine fixed
from Red Bluff, Ca
I purchased March 18 2022, received March 31 2022, stored in garage until June 10 2022 for initial startup & run...followed all startup procedures. Then ran under moderate load for about 5-10 mins then it shut down. Ran again in an hour or so w/o any load and it shut down within 5-10 mins. I then called customer service.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just Delivered as expected

All seems well. I ran it for 3+ hours on a 5 gal. propane bottle running the ac on my motor home to start the break in. 2 ac units and you could just barely detect a load. Time will tell.
