Very user friendly. Started up on first pull of start cord. Was able to run the refrigerator, television, computer and a few lights during our electrical outage here in California.
The generator arrived on time and in good order. The only problem is that the gas cap tries to cross thread...could be a problem down the road. So far so good. Cranks quick and runs smooth. Can't beat the price.
I bought this about a month ago and experienced problems the first time it was used. I changed the oil as directed after break in period and under a small load, it burned through the oil within 8 hours. Clips holding the rear panel were broken as well. I'm trying to contact customer service at this point.
