Ordered prior to hurricane Florence. Thought this might take a while to get going. Wrong 15 min put wheel kit on, add gas, add oil. We were running !!!!!! Saved our food in fridge , ran small A.C. , had hot coffee. Good job guys.
We needed to set this up in a hurry, because the hurricane was coming. Everything was straightforward, with a clear and comprehensive instruction manual. Put in the supplied oil, filled it with gas until the gauge got to full, set the switch, fuel valve and choke, and it started on the first pull. Runs well under load, and it's not nearly as noisy as I was expecting. Classy appearance and finish: it just has the feel and heft of a quality product. It doesn't seem as heavy as 103 lbs -- I can lift it easier than I was expecting too. And once the hurricane has passed, it's got a 30-amp trailer outlet for connecting to our travel trailer. That's the first time I've seen that, and it's much appreciated!
I bought this for use to keep a couple of refrigerators cold during a hurricane power outage and it really does the job. Its more quiet than most and puts out a great amount of power. Starts right away and runs great!
