I bought this a week ago. Simple start-up instructions. Had it up and running in 10 minutes. Have only used with propane but very happy with results. Much quieter than I expected. Very happy with this purchase.
After re-attaching the throttle cable that somehow came loose during the bumpy ride to the campsite, the unit started up and remained on throughout the duration of the day. It ran flawlessly. The noise level at first seemed higher than expected, but that's due to being next to the unit. Once it's placed in a designated area and you go about your other tasks you hardly notice that it's on.
We bought this generator for a backup in case of a storm. Living in Florida we have experienced hurricanes and once were without power for two weeks. Now having to use a cpap we needed an uninterrupted power supply that is quiet and will last the whole night through. This generator fits the bill plus it will charge our electronics and run our tv. It also has a great feature with a built in hose to drain the float chamber on the carburetor for extended storage. That was nicely thought out. We are very pleased with our purchase.
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.
