The product was very easy to set up. The instructions were simple. Super excited to use this thing. We have an enclosed trailer and we plan to use it to run our air conditioning and heater. Its very high-quality and also a good price!
Bought did a test run. Everything seemed to work great. Only negative is I keep it stored in my garage but now I can’t get the smell of gasoline to stop. No spills or leaks just a strong gas smell won’t go away. I’m on day 5. Every thing is shut off on the generator.
As a mechanical engineer with 40+ years designing advanced military products I am thoroughly impressed, and appreciate the effort that went in to developing this product. The user interface is excellent, and it appears that quality components were used throughout. The instructions/user manual are clear and complete, and the initial setup was straightforward. It started right up with the first push of the start button, and the reasonably-low sound level is a big plus. At this point I only have two suggestions: 1) the Battery Compartment Door could be a little larger -- manipulating the battery in place and strapping it down is slightly inconvenient, and 2) the font size of the labeling and marking print could be larger. Otherwise, my hat's off to you; Bravo!
The only problem I have with this generator is the choke wire was disconnected. Had to take all the plastic off to find the wire and then try to find where it plugs in.
