Power went out and purchased this primarily to run a fridge and an outdoor ice chest. Had enough power left over to run my neighbors fridge as well. Would buy again as it would have cost us more in lost food.
I followed the instructions for a quick start up but after 20 min of pulling the cord. I began my own troubleshooting. Removed spark plug an found good spark but no fuel reaching spark plug. Removed access panel an noticed that choke cable not connected at carb. I connected it and unit started one pull. I believe unit was tested on propane and not gasoline. Because of choke cable design it could not have been connected at factory. Please send me a cover for unit. Ps. Because of my small engine training I solved problem. Otherwise it would have been returned Kevin Burke
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Everything worked as described. Start-up was easy and straightforward. I especially like the eCon mode to save fuel with low power operation. Some of the display modes could be better described in the manual, but work well.
This generator looks well built. Looks like quality materials were used. I’m happy it’s a dual fuel. Very good bang for your buck. I bought it for emergencies because it seems like my power goes out whenever it gets a little windy. However I haven’t gotten the chance to test it but I’m sure it’s going to work as intended.
