Good Unit

Unit works good for what we will be using it for. Will run everything on my 5th wheel trailer we need on at a time. Very quiet unit. The only bad thing, I can say is about the filling and changing the oil is a pain. Hard to see how much oil your putting in the unit. To change the oil, the unit must be tipped. If you spill the oil ends up in areas which make it hard to clean up and drips onto the ground. You would've thought engineers or designers would've done a better job
I bought this to power up a few circuits and my small freezer and refer during the planned power outages in California. This fit the bill. Very happy with the dB level and so will my neighbors
Had to wait 3 weeks to receive this item, but so far so good! Well worth the wait, fired up right away and ran my 15k a/c on my camper no problem. One little issue with the plastic case being damaged during the shipping. Overall quiet as advertised!!
Purchased for use with my Travel Trailer RV. Able to easily run A/C, Microwave, and Coffee Maker at the same time with no performance issues. Item easy to setup and operate out of the box. Only suggestion for improvement would be another set of wheels on the end with the handle to make it easier to roll unit around. Telescoping handle seems somewhat flimsy but holding up so far after one use camping.
Bought to replace a loud generator and was not disappointed by how quietly it ran. Also had no issues getting it to work out of the box. I'm currently at about 40 hours and have had no problems thus far.
Started easily by cord. button, or remote. Loaded with Shop vac, saw and iron (simultaneously) during break-in. No problems. Changed oil after one hour and two hours as precaution to remove any machining debris, since no oil filter. Appreciate info display and quiet operation.
