Purchased to use with our travel trailer when camping off the grid. We have solar but wanted auxiliary power just in case. Coming from a traditional open frame generator for all the obvious reasons. Size and price were factors taken into account. Plenty of power for our needs, fuel efficient, ease of handling, and quiet!
Bought this to run our lighting and portable laser in our custom laser trailer and could not be happier. I intended to make an enclosure to dampen sound, but this unit is so quiet I didn’t need to. I was shocked when I turned on eco mode and it got quieter still! Obviously eco mode is load dependent, but when I’m just running lights I barely hear the generator outside. Quality is outstanding, the product looks good visually, and it starts up on the first pull. It’s light enough that my wife can move it around by hand even with a full tank.
I purchased this unit yesterday as my power was out for 24 hours thus far. I had my brother n law come and assist me in hooking it up and getting it up and running. I used for around 8 hours before my power was restored. It was easy to turn off and store for the next time. I am pleased as I am 72 years old and at this point I can still move it somewhat....
I have used this generator a couple times now since buying it and its great for camping with my bi-pap. Very quiet even for smaller camp grounds and didn't even bother the Karen camping next to us!
I only have 8 hours on it (5 of those were the break in) but so far it's lived up to the hype. Same output and quieter than the competition at less than half the cost and the RV plug provides a direct connection. Has started 1st pull every time.
