Bought to go camping and any power outages at home. Started right up after adding oil, fuel and battery. Is quieter than I expected.
Only complaint so far is the small access panels for battery and oil dipstick. I don't even have large hands and was troublesome to screw dipstick back in after adding the oil.
After researching generators for an RV I purchased the Westinghouse iGen 4500. There are cheaper models but none better. Touches all the bases: Quiet, Great power, Reasonable weight, long run time and quality made. Worth the $$$
Followed instructions to add oil and hook up battery. Added premium gas and pushed the start button. Vrooommmm. So quiet. Very glad we bought this model
