Just got it yesterday so haven't used it in an emergency yet. Looks very well made. Starts on first pull. Not silent but not obnoxious either. Very glad to have it.
I have property in the Sierra off the grid. I have seen the ones the others have perched and nothing comes close to this one. This frame around it and wheel kit is a big plus for moving and storing it. I am 81 years old 140 pounds and this makes me able to lift it over my head with ease well not quite.
