I have been running a 750w space heater for the break in period and have had not problems so far. It revs up and down when changing the load. This is my 1st generator so I have minimal expectations on how it should work. I found this this model at a really good price and finally bought one, I had limited time to watch online review videos and but the few I saw only gave me a good feeling about this one.
As far as setup, it came with easy to understand instructions and was up and running in less than 30min.
Only feature I feel it is lacking is the hour meter. I did purchase an after market one but I am currently having trouble getting it to work consistently.
Bought this a month ago before Buffalo got hit with massive blizzard. Ran my furnace, sump pump, and fridge without issue. Ran it overnight and the tank of gas lasted about 10.5 hours.
Just received this generator. I was impressed with the packaging and the attention to detail. Other similar generator reviews complained about difficulty adding oil, removing access cover, etc. This unit came with a nice, screw in funnel for the oil and the access cover was easy to remove although the directions should say that the cover is still attached by some push-in friction connectors after the 2 screws are removed. Started right up and worked with a small test load. Overall seems to be a nice unit. Will see how it holds up but from the reviews I have high expectations.
I purchased this generator a few months ago and finally opened the box to start it up. No issues with start up and plan to use during fishing trips and camping this summer. Excellent value and easy setup.
