Propane option is clean fuel so there shouldn't be any issues with carburetor gunking up while not in use. Started right up after finding a screw to replace the bad one that came on the battery.
Love this generator, Dual Fuel, remote Electric and recoil start.. Runs really quite for a generator. Has plenty of power also . Easy to move around with the wheel kit and very convenient handle. Also lots of safety features that protect the generator.
The unit arrived as indicated in the literature and was very easy to prep for operation. Add the inclosed wheel kit, add the oil, connect the battery and add your fuel source (LP was my choice). Hit the auto and start and the unit was running without incident. Would have given the unit a 5 star rating, however the unit did have a bent frame rail on the top (see attached photo) and a small bolt and two washer floating around in the large plastic cover that the unit came in. Have no idea as to where the extra hardware came from or should go.
I purchased this generator in case of an outage. After adding oil and fuel, it started without a hitch. I really like its remote start/stop feature which comes real handy if you want to save fuel during the day and it is raining or stormy outside.
