I was concerned that the noise from any generator would bother my neighbors, but this generator is so quiet it won't disturb anyone (quieter than a distant-sounding lawn mower). I hooked up a 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner and then tried an 1,100 watt microwave, and this generator handled them each with no problem. Even though it weighs about 100 pounds, the wheels and handle make it easy to move around. It also isn't too large, which is nice for storage in my garage. The remote on/off feature is nice and the unit starts up easily with it.
I live in Northern California where PG&E now shuts off power temporarily when there is a threat of fires during red flag conditions. It's good to be prepared now, in case that happens in my neighborhood in the future. I am pleased with my purchase and have already recommended this generator to others.
Delivery guy unloaded the box and brought it to my door, upside down. Unboxed it, and there was no damage. Went through the setup procedures, and the little gen fired right up and has been running great - powering a horse trailer living quarters with no issues. The little guy is extremely quiet, and has been quite miserly on using gas. I would definitely recommend this generator.
This product meets our needs and love that its dual power and QUIET. We don't have to buy 2 generators to get the easy to stowe and have enough power to run our 5th wheel.
I just ordered this 4 days ago and it’s here!! I read reviews and was impressed! I hope I’m as happy with it as the reviews indicated I will be. I’m glad, it’s smaller than I expected— great for us girls. I’m excited!!
I just bought this a few days ago. They were prompt in sending it and after putting oil and fuel in it, it started right up with barely a pull on the cord.
We bought this to use as our live sound power supply for marching band. I was worried it wouldn't be as quiet as our lower-wattage Honda, but as soon as I got this unit set up I realized how quiet it is. We run it about 100 ft away from our performance spot, and you can't hear it over the ambient noise from that distance. Highly recommended and great price!
