Power output, ease of start, fuel efficiency, and noise are all good. Only downside was that it came with a wiring harness disconnected. As a result, generator would not automatically switch off choke. Had to take all access panels off to connect wiring harness.
We bought this generator to use for camping with a fifth wheel. We are able to run nearly everything off of this alone. This is also quiet, which is great for use in a campground. No complaints!
Bought this generator to use camping in toy hauler camper. Like how the plug is 30 amp camper plug instead of twist lock, no adaptor needed. Very quiet. Awesome fuel consumption. Burned exactly 1 gallon of fuel every 4 hours after I averaged out the 15 gallons of gas I used and the 60 hours I put on generator over the weekend.
Purchased generator for use with an IceCastle/RV where AC would not be available. No problems with the auto choke wire harness - it was properly seated. Engine break-in was a non-event. Minimal metal observed in oil changes. Oil drain plug is a little awkward to get to. It might be easier if the oil change access panel was larger. At around 100 lbs, it does not feel like a cheap, lightweight unit. Telescoping handle is a neat feature for moving the unit. The two handles on top seem to be solid when picking up the unit. During testing with the RV, this model was able to run all the appliances and air conditioner unit with ease. This unit is pretty quiet for a generator. You can carry on a conversation with the unit running close by. Very little change in noise when running at about a 55% load. I expect to get a long service life from this generator.
