Great generator

We used our generator in July in TN in 90+ degree weather. It was able to cool the camper from above 99 degrees to about 80 degrees in about 2-3 hours. It is very quite, it was able to keep us cool all night on one tank of fuel. The generator is light enough that my wife and I can easily load/unload into the back of the pickup truck.
I have a Honda EU 3000 and a predator 3500 now this one and there’s many features I like about this but there are some improvements needed.
1 this when under a load runs around 76db’s and the predator ran at 72db, Honda being the loudest at 79db. I’d love this unit to be quieter.
2.) Oil capacity needs to be 1 qt to make things easy as well as a filter or a magnetic dip stick. Both would be great.
3.) Plastics. I have no idea who is in charge of plastic but these are aweful. They scratch and mar extremely fast and they have stress marks in certain parts.
4.) Gas cap should be made so that it clicks when tightening.
5.) bigger wheels and remove the telescoping pole for better outdoor and camping use. Sand and grit will get in the mechanism and render it almost useless.
We used this product to tailgate at a college football game for the weekend and it was perfect. The generator ran quietly and would throttle up and down as needed for electricity, extending the tank of gas. We brought 2 extra 5 gallon tanks and had plenty left over.
I just recieved the generator and pretty fast delivery and item looks very sturdy and hopefully we are going to get what we need when the times come to use it.
