Very quiet

from Southwest Florida Punta Gorda area
I finally was able to get this generator on 6/17/21. It has been on backorder for a while. So far so good I ran 10 minutes on gasoline and another 10 minutes on propane. I am going to use Rec fuel plus add Marine stable. Doing everything I can do to ensure no water in the gas. And stabilization of the gas so it will last longer. Note the owner's manual says to dump in the whole container of oil which is .63 quarts. Do not do it because it will overfill. My estimates are that it's probably at about.55 quarts. After the break-in oil because I live in Southwest Florida I am going to follow the recommendation of stepping up to an oil way to 15 w40 because we are pretty much always over 80 degrees in Florida. Also I am a believer in the manual States you can use synthetic. The push button start works great and the auto start on the fob works great. It came packaged well with no damage. This will be used strictly for our Villa for power outages and for the risk of hurricanes. For maintenance I plan to run once a month for at least 20 minutes under load

Super quite

Unit does what it claims to do, super quite and fires right up on propane or gas. This will make a great addition to our 5th wheel camper if we should ever need it.

Very silent, works just as I expected.

I bought this unit to use as a backup in case of power loss, as we're getting into hurricane season and I learned my lesson during the Texas Winter Storm. It's more silent than I expected, very portable (considering its capacity), and does the job just fine.
Only issue I had is that the manual states to add the full bottle of oil (0.6 qt), but the motor took only about 0.5 qt before it was already measuring at the high level on the dipstick. It's a little weird, makes me wonder if it's not a brand-new unit...but considering the first couple oil changes take place quite fast anyways, I don't see it as a major issue.
I wish it could run on natural gas as well...I assume it doesn't give the option from OEM mostly due to emissions regulations, though...

Just opened it and started it up. Tested both fuel sources. Worked fine so far. Have yet to use in a load situation.

Bought this generator for the duel fuel but just love the remote start. I put the oil in and hooked up the battery then pushed the on button and it was running. It is a very quiet running machine and will do well for camping.

I purchased on June 12, 2021 and received it today (June 21). It runs very quiet and is easy to move around compared to my Pedator 3500 generator.
I would recommend this to a friend!
