Unpacking and getting ready for service.

Bought the generator a couple weeks ago. It started on the first try once I finished getting it ready. I was surprised that the battery wasn't secured before the generator was boxed up for shipment. Battery access opening could be larger and the rubber strap that is to hold battery in place should be secured with a fastener on the back side. It is very hard with the small opening to hold the strap up while putting the battery in the generator. Some sort of hook to hold the strap up while inserting the battery would be nice also. I don't look forward to replacing the battery when it eventually will be needed.
The access panel to fill it with oil and then check the oil level could be bigger also. couple items that might have kept me from purchasing this generator if I had known about them before purchasing.
Says it was built in Viet Nam, maybe they have smaller hands. Evidently they didn't want to secure the battery before it took the long journey to the United States. Maybe they thought it was a pain to do also since didn't do it. So far seems like a nice product which could be a lot better if the above modifications were made.

Good Generator

from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Bought this unit for its features (specifically: dual fuel and the inverter) and so far I am quite happy with it. Using it to power my house (minus all the 240 V appliances) and it seems to be more than adequate for this purpose Typically using about 700W (it's a small home). We have had one four hour power outage during which it was put to use but I am firing it up every weekend for a short period of time just to ensure it is in good running order. Highly recommended!

Reliable and efficient

I’ve used for at least 30 hours across 2 years now. This produce does exactly what it should. The spill tray on top is useful as fuel spills have occurred. The pull handle is really intuitive. Auto-start push button has been used every time, while the remote worked once as a test. Never had to use pull rope.
