Lightweight. Runs everything I need at off grid cabin. Runs power tools for cabin construction. Seems to always take 5 pulls to startup. I also have a Honda, and it starts one pull everytime no longer how long it sits. For the price difference 4 extra pulls worth it. Eco mode saves fuel if minimum power needed. Very happy with this product.
Arrived in good condition. Added oil and gas and it fired up as expected. We use it for our travel trailer, mainly for charging the batteries when dry camping and running the Keurig coffee maker and microwave, which it does pretty easily. I know the Keurig pulls almost 1500 watts during warm up. It's very quiet and I like all of the information available on the digital display.
I bought 2 of these so that I can run in parallel to power my RV AC. They were easy to set up and are easy to operate. The manual is surprisingly good though I do wish there were a little more explanation about the LED display. Both units fired up easily. The first runs perfectly, but the second has cut off unexpectedly about 10 times in the first couple of hours. When it does this the low oil light pops on, so I suspect it may be a faulty sensor. In fact, this issue is specifically mentioned in the troubleshooting section in the back of the manual, so I plan to call the 800 number to see if it can be easily resolved. For the time being I gave a 3 star rating and hope to adjust later if possible pending resolution.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to set up and operate, and the noise level is very acceptable for campground use. Love that I can connect a 30 amp RV cord directly to it without any adaptors. The manual says it doesn't come with the wires needed to run 2 units in parallel but maybe that's just leftover verbiage from other models because both units came with cords. And they're super easy to use, truly just plug and play. Keep in mind that when you run in parallel you will not be able to take advantage of ECO mode...which makes sense anyway because you would typically only be running in parallel if you're providing power to something large like an RV AC unit. You don't want to be in ECO mode when something that large cycles on. But just know that when the AC cycles off your generators will not idle down while it's off, so no fuel savings! However, it does appear they will make it through the night on a full tank...will try to follow up on this later when I know for sure.
