Bought this a couple weeks ago to power some lights and tools on our farm. Added gas and oil to it, pulled the starter, and off it was running. Plugged in lights and a heater, which worked fine. Runs fairly quiet, although it gets louder if you put a heavy load on it. I overloaded it once, and it shut-off as expected and was simple to restart.
Just bought this generator. It is the perfect size and weight to take camping. I haven't had a chance to run this unit yet but am looking forward to it.
I travel and camp with this. Light weight is easier to pack and carry. Low noise is good for nighttime use. Smooth power, easy to run personal electronics and small AC unit. Good fuel economy, I don't have to get up and fuel it more than once a night running AC. Starts well.
