Excellent generator, great design EXCEPT oil drain
on November 17, 2024

I unboxed this generator and got it up and running today. It started up easily on LP gas (I didn't put any gasoline in the tank). The noise is pretty low and the power seems to be clean enough for all of my electronics I the house. I ran it for several hours and went to drain the break-in oil. That was when the honeymoon ended. Everything else about this unit is nicely designed and easy to access but the oil drain is terrible. I swore and cursed as I tried to get my fingers on the rubber plug and a wrench on the nearly impossible to access drain plug. Couldn't you have made the oil access door a bit wider? I'm going to be looking for an oil extractor pump for the next time. Aside from this oil drain issue, it's a great little generator.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great inverter generator

Very easy to use. Remote start and stop is a game changer. Only challenge is installing high altitude carb jet. Takes time. Overall a great piece of equipment

Didnt see many reviews for my 5000 model but the duel fuel plus the ease for someone that has NEVER used one of these before was as advertised. I didnt run a super heavy load on it but for the fridge and freezer and necessites it did it seamlessly. Also wasnt super loud
I would recommend this to a friend!

Quiet Beast

We got this just after Helene hit. Other generators rattled all night, but we enjoyed a much quieter evening. Powered lights, 2 refrigerators, charged everything and saved hundreds in spoiled food.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Small but mighty

Purchased after hurricane Helene. Allows us to keep most everything running (not AC or Heat). Well worth the price and not nearly as loud as the larger generators (but close to the power)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Heard very many good things about this generator can’t wait to see what it can do! It would be nice to have a 50amp plug.

Great Firman replacement

Replaced my Firman dual-fuel inverter generator that would not start after just a few uses over 4 years. This has more power, larger fuel tank and easier access to the battery. The low THD will allow me to charge my Bluetti batteries without issue. Very pleased.
