Want to love it.

This thing has so many useful features I'm hoping it will live up to my expectations. It's off to a shaky start, though. On the plus side, the operation is easy and straightforward. Love the electric start! Love that it has an RV electrical outlet as well as standard 120V outlets. Love the dual-fuel capability. I added gas and oil (more on that shortly), left the run switch off and pulled the starter cord a few times to make sure oil was circulated. Turned the switch to on, pushed START and voila, up and running. The operating manual cautions against running it with no load so I verified it was running smoothly then shut it off.
Now for the not so good. I have to agree with other reviewers. Adding oil is a bit awkward. Not nearly as awkward as draining and changing it is going to be. More bad - my unit is leaking oil. At first the leak was fairly significant. I think one possibility for it is that there may have been some residual oil in the engine left over from factory testing. I followed the directions in the manual and added the whole container supplied with the unit and, since you can't actually see what's happening while you're adding the oil, it may have overflowed and that's where the dripping is coming from. The dripping has slowed (after about 20 hours) but it's still there. I'm going to give it another day to see if it stops before I contact tech support.
Other than that, it seems to be an excellent product and well worth the money.

Nice Generator

Only issue I had was the automatic choke harness wasn’t connected. This seems to be pretty common issue so I was aware prior to purchasing. Pretty easy fix. Unit runs pretty quiet and works as it should. I really like the dual fuel feature and remote start. Runs the camper on both types of fuel so that is real handy.

Starts easy

This generator starts on the first time, ever time that we have used it. This will definitely allow us to keep the freezer, refrigerator, and other critical items running when we lose power rather losing a lot of frozen food like we have in the past. Have already used it outside so far for powering air compressor and tools when away from the house and it works great. It is a little louder than I expected for one of our secondary uses, which was trailer camping at sites without electricity, but I may be able to devise some temporary screening that reduces the noise to a lower volume so it wouldn't disturb other nearby campers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very quiet

Love this generator. I would compare it to a Honda any day. I only run this unit on propane. Runs for 20+hrs at 1/4 to 1/2 load on one 20lb tank and still has propane in the tank.
