Easy start with one pull! Checked voltage and frequency output with and without load using Fluke 117 True RMS Multimeter. Voltage and frequency as published. Tested output with a 250 Watt resistive load. Monitored output load, voltage and frequency with Kill A Watt P3. Voltage, current and wattage were stable.
I ran it in my back yard for a while to test it and walked away for awhile, then went back when I thought it ran out of fuel. I was very pleased to find it still running only I couldn't hear it from my porch.
