This machine seems well thought out. the most notable thing so far is an owners manual written in the language I speak with alot of detail. I put in oil, gas and plugged in the battery and it quickly fired up. the only issue that I could see is that the access doors for oil and the battery are a bit small for larger hands. I like the fact that the outlets are well protected from the weather.

Could not get it started when I first opened it up. I had everything turned on as per the starting instructions. Will have to call customer service to see if they can help. Very disappointed

Quality for the price

I think this is as big of a generator you can get and consider it portable. It has a nicely designed quality telescopic handle and 2 grab handles on top. It is an inverter/generator with specified very low harmonic distortion. I figure that most electric merchandise these days are controlled by sensitive electronics and decided it would be prudent to get a unit with cleaner electricity output then a conventional generator supplies. Considering the retail price relative to other known high quality manufacturers, I think the unit overall is a sound purchase for occasional recreational and emergency usage. My only negative criticism is the very common known issue with the automatic electric choke. Cold starting the engine in almost all scenarios requires setting the choke and the choke should be off when the engine starts to run properly. I was anticipating this to be an issue on the unit I purchased and was not concerned about making the repair as there are several detailed videos online that provide instructions. However, I don't understand why this is a ongoing problem and honestly I was close to going with another manufacturer because I felt that this seemingly minor, ongoing unresolved issue may be indicative of several other soon to be exposed operating problems. My choke would not engage upon initial start attempt. The engine would not start unlike others that did start but the choke would not disengage. My problem was the same though as the electronic choke harness was not plugged into it's connector. I suppose time will tell but I will say after having to remove and loosen most of the plastic panels to repair the electric choke issue, the parts and assembly that I could see seem to be quality constructed. Once I corrected the choke the unit fired up right away and has ran great since.
