I have not had it a long time. First time starting it up to break-in, it started first time. I have been using it to run lights and air compressor in my garage. Been using it to run my toy hauler. Works perfectly. Pros: super super quiet. Equal to a Honda. It has a remote, plug-in battery charge, a function monitor, screw in oil funnel which is great, fuel filter when pouring gas into it, and all the controls are easy to read and understand. Very user friendly. And it’s easy to move around with the handle. Cons: access to the oil compartment is a little small but I have big hands. So far, this has been a great generator. Extremely happy with it.
I bought this in October for RV’ing and love it. It is very quiet and super easy to start. I’ve never used the pull rope, just the start/stop button or the remote. Starts 1st time, every time. I definitely would buy again and highly recommend.
