My inverter arrived yesterday. Added oil & gas and it started right up. It's surprisingly quiet. I considered a Honda 2200 but this was about 1/3 the price. It seems to be well made. It's light and easy to move around and store. I'll try to post another review after I use it for a month or so.
My son bought it for me for Christmas and have not been able to use it for our ice eater at our duck lease for the past 2 years due the drought in Missouri. I was finally able to use it to run a pump to pump out a neighbor's basement after a broken water pipe thawed out a few days after the deep freeze we had. It worked great and he was impressed with the power and the compact size.
I haven't had a ton of time with this product yet, however it seems to work as advertised out of the box. I did have a minor issue with it only running for a couple minutes before the oil shutoff turned it off. Turns out the included bottle of oil I got had too much in it, and the level was above the operating range causing the issue. After getting that resolved it seems to run just fine.
