We bought this after going 5 days without power after Hurricane Sally devastated our area. Hope I don't have to use it anytime soon, but it's reassuring knowing that it is there and furthermore, I can start it by myself. Love the fact I can use propane or gasoline and that it has an electric starter. I'm ready for you Mother Nature!
I am surprised that this unit does not have an oil warning light. The remote is pretty limited for the distance that it can be operated. Otherwise I am very pleased with this unit. I have had at least six other generators over the years to compare it to.
I've only had this for a little longer than a week but it looks to work well. Setup wasn't too difficult. It ran right away and the remote start/stop works well too. On the down side, I didn't do enough research to make sure this model would work for everything in my house. For some things like my well pump, I needed to have a model that runs on 240v, whereas this model only does 120v. So if you were to have an electrician install a 30amp connection to your breaker box they'll tell you that you must turn off any 240v breakers first. I also wasn't thrilled with the fact that shipping wasn't very clean. I got the item quickly, but there were dents and scratches on the corners of the cage bars. Nothing that impacted the function of the generator, but when you spend this kind of money you expect it to look new.
Arrived in perfect condition, easy assembly, small and compact for storage, dual fuel option is great, battery trickle charger and remote stop/start wraps up a very nice little generator. Ready for winter in the Pacific Northwest.
Unboxed it, put on the wheels, put in the oil, fired it up for 5 minutes. Programed the remote start and tested the push button start and remote start. All good!
