Planning for a cold day

I bought this in case of severe weather. It has been sitting for 4 months now, just put the oil and fuel in, connected the battery and it fired right up. Not nearly as loud as I thought it was going to be. Will be starting it up monthly from now on. Maintenance instructions seem to be pretty straightforward.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works great with my RV with remote start. Had some problems with the temperature probe and cycling against the governor but tech staff helped me take care of all of that. Haven’t used it much but it is running just fine.

I bought this to replace a Hyundai 2200w inverter that had become extremely temperamental over the years, and I'm very glad I made the purchase. Starts very easily, runs quiet and is very reasonable on gas. I'm also happy to be able to lift and move it by myself, which is not something I can do with my Honda which is similarly rated. The electric start works great and is a super nice feature, too! We'll see how time treats this guy, but so far, so good!

I bought this to keep my boat heated during cold snaps. I looked at a lot of generators before buying this one. The main selling points are; the large 3.4 gallon tank so it can run all night long, the hour meter so I don’t have to guess at maintenance intervals, and the three year warranty. It is quiet and starts every time without hesitation. I am very happy with this generator.

This is my 2nd one. Living in sub freezing locations, this remote start function is insane! Walking out into the snow and ice to start/stop the generator is a thing of the past

oil change door is very small and the bolt would not remove from the extension. The extension would unscrew from the motor, draining the oil in an incorrect spot making it very messy.

Great generator

Just bought this generator, plan on using this with our 30ft fifth wheel RV. Like all of the features. Started right up after adding oil and fuel out of the box. Arrived in perfect condition. The one draw back is the remote start. Says should work from 99 feet away. It won't work enless I'm standing with-in 15ft of the generator. I'm going to re-pair the remote to generator as directions in book say to do to see if that solves the problem.
