Experienced multiple emergency power shutdowns in our area due to high winds lately & needed a generator for appliances & light. Worked great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Features

I recently brought this unit as a emergency backup for our house when we have power outages. One of the best features on this unit is the dual fuel system. I filled up my gas cans and propane tanks, I didn't worry about not having enough fuel or running out. Very easy to operate and the remote start makes it so easy to start that my wife ran it while I was gone, no need to pull start.

INCREDIBLY AWESOME GENERATOR!!!
on February 8, 2021

* I purchased this generator primarily for back up power for my home as I live in an area that is known for power outages and will use it primarily for refrigerator(s), lighting, TV’s & internet.
* Overall this generator appears to perform well and has most features one would want on a generator, with the exceptions mentioned below.
* Ease of starting and maneuvering this size generator is amazing and all the features are “user friendly”
* Looking at schematic there appears to be a 10-amp fuse somewhere in wiring, but it is not in an easy place to access. Seems like there is plenty of space on the control panel and that’s where they should have installed this fuse.
* There is no hour meter on this generator, yet it is repeatedly stated in the manual that specific maintenance needs to be done every few hours to maintain proper performance; such as oil changes, filter changes, valve adjustments, etc. How does one keep track of the “hours” put on the generator without writing it down every time. Seems an hour meter with an alarm or notification of some type would be appropriate. No generator should be designed without, at the bare minimum, an hour meter. Also, it should incorporate a volt meter so you can see at a glance whether the generator is producing 120v or 240v as there is a switch that changes the voltage. A watt meter would also be helpful to be able to see the “load” being produced so as not to overload the generator. I know these meters exist because I’ve seen them on other generators.
* Adding and changing the oil is made easier by the screw-on funnel provided. It screws into the oil port, but is about 3-4” too short so adding the oil is cumbersome. Also, the oil plug itself requires one to get down on their knees to orient the plug straight so it screws in without binding.
* Also has REMOTE START and when starting with any method other than manual pulling of the rope starter it will attempt to start 3-4 times on its on. Very intelligent.
* With all that said, it is a great generator for the money.

Peace of mind!

Hopefully I won't need this but now if the power goes out for any reason I won't have to worry about losing all the food in the deep freezer and two refrigerators!
Love that it runs on either propane or gasoline. Its lighter than it's counterparts and a good value for the price!

Needed to be Adjusted for High Altitude

from Lava Hot Springs, ID
After discovering that this generator needed slight adjustments (gas & propane nozzles for high altitude), the generator performed like a champ.
