Great Generator

Received the generator, unboxed, connected battery, put in the oil and gas an wham the unit started on the first try. It will run my 30 amp motorhome with no problems. The only issue with this generator so far is the 30 amp RV plug is installed upside down. That was an easy fix though. It's light enough I can pick it up by myself. I would recommend this generator to anyone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have run a couple of power tools with great results so far. Like the extendable handle for easy transport. Digital display is very nice and love the remote start! Have not put the unit to the real test of running our camper so I can only give a 4 star rating as the camping season is at least a couple of months away.

We purchased this generator to use on our new 4 Season Toy Hauler!! Very impressed with low noise level and the power it kicks out! It is pretty lightweight, considering and easy to move around. We are just absolutely impressed with the product overall! We have been bragging about it since we purchased it!

Convenient with solid features.

I have only a few hours on this generator, and it started up easily right out of the box (after adding the provided oil, and my own fuel, of course). I moved to this generator from an older Onan, and the build quality isn't quite on par, but that is expected given the price difference. The plastic casing appears to "snap" together in a few places, and it does not line up as well as I'd like on the top-left side of my unit, instead exposing some seams a bit more than I'd like. This gives me concern when considering moisture outdoors, and am going to look into getting this sealed a bit better. I was also taken aback by how much the instrument panel vibrates with the machine (the LED screen can be difficult to read when it shakes like that) but I do love how easily it fires up, and the remote start is going to make RV trips so much more convenient. Time will tell with this machine!

Works great, except-----

Works great now, but I had two problems. No. 1---the 30 amp connector is installed upside down, so, using a right angle male connector the cable faces up. Not a major issue. No. 2---the unit started and ran perfectly the first time I tried it. The next day we had a power outage, but when I started the unit it ran very rough, had no output, and smoked a bit. I assumed the automatic choke was stuck engaged. I removed the side cover and found what I thought was the problem. A metal tube around the spark plug wire had distorted a smaller tube next to it because of interference. I corrected this and also tapped on the carburetor since I could not locate anything that looked like an automatic choke. Don't know which action worked but the unit ran correctly after that and I have now run it about six times with no issues. Hope that is the end of the problem.
