Very Quiet, very portable. Purchased as an emergency back up during hurricane season for small household appliances. Have not had to use it under emergency conditions but has tested out just fine so far.
I bought this generator to run my 15,000 BTU air conditioner with the Micro Air Easy Start. The generator is great, started on the second pull and has good power out. I'm taking off a star for two issues. First is my fuel float sticks. When I first filled it up, said zero fuel. After sitting overnight it was at 1/2. I grabbed a screw driver and realized the float sticks. Hoping it will loosen up with use, as the nearest service center is 3 hours away. Not a deal breaker, but just annoying. The second issue is despite the manual claiming there is a lifetime run counter on the led display, they apparently forgot to program that feature. Nothing a $25 add on won't fix, but the display is already there, how did they miss that?? Other than these two minor gripes, great product. With the Easy Start it will power my A/C along with my converter in trickle charger and my fridge on electricity (at 2,000' above sea level). Would highly recommend.
I'm using it to power my RV which it does very well. At such a light weight, it makes it so easy to take along just about anywhere. The absence of the 12V plug-in is the only disappointment I see so far but overall I'm very pleased with this unit
Runs well and starts easy. Worked great for powering my rv. Only issue was when i did the first oil change the oil came out full of silver specs. It looked like silver glitter nail polish. Hopefully just left over from assembly/machining and not anything else.
Very nice little unit. Powers up a four circuit transfer switch. All the essentials light, tv, fridge and furnace. Piece of mind seeing how loosing power for several days twice a year is the new normal in new england.
