Packaging was good, Label indicates its built in Vietnam FYI. Fit and finish seem good. Initial start was done on propane, took quite a bit to get running, but was about 6c out. Once warmed up it ran smooth, and quiet. I kept small loads on it, varying ti for an hour, then changed the oil. Next will be more running on fresh oil and slowly increasing loads, for a several oil changes.
I purchased this for tail-gating and it worked out excellently. We just it the weekend it was purchased and it was able to power a TV and a few phones without issue. Excellent purchase.
the preparation for first start up is ridiculously simple.. directions say add oil until full. but the bottle provided was perfect amount.. 3rd pull it fired right up and ran like a charm.. used it a few hours after initial startup to run a small sump pump.. ran flawlessly
