I needed a generator that was reliable and easy to start. I am on oxygen and need to keep the machine going even in a power outage, and also to power the refrigerator and freezer for a long outage. this one seems to meet the requirements that we have.
We have been very happy with our generator! ! We did have an issue with the carburetor right out of the box & had to take it in for service. Our service guy told us this is a common issue with most generators as they test them in the factory & often fuel is left in the carburetor & gunks up during shipping/storing. He recommended using only non-ethanol fuel which we have found out (the hard way) that this does seem to be the best way to keep from having issues. It runs quietly (for a generator) & powers our 16" camper perfectly!
Have not had time to use this much yet but so far so good. Wife loves the extendable tow handle. Fairly light weight. Seems pretty quiet for a larger generator. As quiet as my 2200 watt. Remote start and stop is sweet!
