Bought this for my son's racing kart trailer to power a small portable AC and compressor which it does quite easily. Setup entailed pouring oil in the generator, some fuel...started on 2nd pull. Fairly quiet. Great buy for the money.
I use this generally to run my pressure washer and air compressor, at the same time charging my batteries and running my vacuum. Also great for camping in your mobile home.
I bought this primarily for an emergency, to keep my sump pump running through an outage. I also use it when I'm camping, to power my RV and it runs quiet and for a long time, since I only use about 30% of the max running load. I highly recommend this generator, especially if it's your first generator, because the control panel is very simple and intuitive to navigate. Plus, their customer service is exemplary.
