Great Power for Size and Weight
on April 12, 2025
Posted by: stbjohn1
from Louisville, KY
Just purchased for a power supply to charge batteries when camping. Like the size and weight and that we can use LP rather than having to carry gas. Had a little issue getting it started at first then pulled the spark plug to check the gap. The gap setting was off. Once adjusted, the unit ran fine. Gap setting was reason for 4 stars.
Pleased with how quiet the unit runs as well.

Very quiet

Started this after I installed the High Altitude kit. I’m going to be using this well above 7,000’ in elevation and am afraid to try it without the kit. It’s very involved and requires a lot of disassembly to install. It shouldn’t be this difficult to do.

Off to a good start

Since I've only used it one time, I can make no claims regarding long term reliability.
However, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the build. Nothing looked chintzy, or cheap. It even came with a bottle oil, and a full set of printed manuals and other reference material. A rarity with today's products.
My upper body strength is not the greatest, but I could carry it with my left arm without straining,
I followed the clear quick start notes, and it started on the second pull.
I was able to boil a pot of water in a 1000 watt pot while running a fan without a problem.
I also checked that the 2 5volt USB ports worked.
If this summer is anything like the last few, I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of it.

Defective Unit – Needs Replacement
on April 9, 2025
Posted by: James.C
from Jersey City, NJ
This 2,550W dual fuel generator stopped working after just a few uses. Won’t start on propane or gas, recoil is stuck, and it makes a loud rattling noise. Smells like fuel and feels unsafe to run.
Clearly defective. I need a replacement unit ASAP—this one isn’t usable and shouldn't have to be returned in this condition.
