Having never used a generator before, I was nervous about the set up and maintenance and both are a breeze. The manual is clear and concise and covers everything in good detail. It's sturdy yet easy to move with the inbuilt handles and pull-out handle. Great product!
I bought this in September 2021 and just opened the box. Super quiet and easy to set up. Am looking forward to use with my 31 ft camper this year. The battery was fully charged which was surprised was expecting it to need a charging. Very pleased.
This is a great generator but it could use a few more features. It comes with everything you need to get started and everything is pretty easy to use. I do have some suggestions for improvements:
The access panel to the engine/choke should be something really easy rather than unscrewing a bunch of screws. If your battery is dead, then you need to access this compartment to put it on full choke before you start with the rip cord.
Also, people rarely use their generator everyday so it will be in storage for some time. The manual then suggests to remove the fuel from the float, which again, you need to get to it through the access panel on the side by unscrewing everything. This should be really easy to get to.
This inverter generator is quiet but don’t expect it to be whisper quiet. My neighborhood home lots are 40 feet wide, and my neighbor would definitely hear my generator on, even on eco mode.
Overall, I’m happy with the generator and it’s great to have some peace of mind.
