I bought this in early March of 2022. I finally got it set up. I was looking for something under 100 lbs that would do the job and this fit the bill. It was rather easy to set up, except it would for access to the oil. It is easier with small hands, but I sure get it. This unit is compact, started right up with the auto start and very quite out of the gate. I am happy with this purchase, since I have back issues and will need this to be mobile if needed. This is an insurance policy for the house and refrigerator and freeze if needed. Hoping to never really needed, but for the purpose I bought it for the weight, wheels, quiteness and auto start are going to make me sleep a bit better.
I got this generator in January but haven’t used yet as it is winter and not camp season. It’s now April so I am getting ready for use. I filled with oil, fuel, and connected the battery. Unit fired right up both with push start on the unit and with the remote. I let run for 30 minutes to start the breakin period. The unit was quiet especially for the size. I didn’t test with a meter but it’s possibly a little quieter than my Generac 2200 watt inverter. Gave 4 star as I haven’t used at all to be able to give a five star rating. Also it’s nice to have the extendable handle but it feels flimsy like the handle on travel luggage. This unit is heavy so will just have to see how it holds up. Not concerned that handle will affect my like for the generator as the wheels seem big and sturdy.
