I am getting ready to head off into the sunset with my 5th wheel as part of my retirement. I did a lot of research on inverter generators for my 5th wheel and this product fit the bill in terms of the features (e.g., quiet, power to run AC, remote start, reputation, etc.) and cost. Some of the other competitors I evaluated like Cummins, Champion and Honda were comparable, but not in terms of cost and power provided.
I bought this unit a few months ago and its amazing with the remote control start up and it runs all the units in my travel trailer @ the same time AMAZING!! I have recommended this purchase to friends and they love it as well
This generator checked all the boxes for me including wireless starting, quiet, large fuel tank. Because of my extensive research I was well aware of the problem with the auto choke. Since I am capable of fixing it, I went ahead and bought it. Mine did have the problem with the disconnected auto choke wire as well as my connector was broke. After I fixed the connector the generator ran fine. I did the proper break in which includes installing a magnetic oil dipstick and running the generator under various loads drain oil and repeat. The pictures below show the metal particles that were collected by the magnetic dipstick during the break in. Look forward to many years of service.
This product offers may different features, including remote start. For a small fuel tank, it is very fuel efficient and lasts a while. This generator is super quiet, easily compactable and great for on the go!
Bought this for our RV, maintains loads perfectly without a hiccup. Very satisfied with the sound suppression, and remote start is pretty sweet too! There is one flaw where the automatic choke comes unplugged, but there are countless YouTube videos on where/how to reattach. Once I got the plug back on it ran without any manual intervention.
