Back up power
on April 23, 2021
Posted by: tconns
from Pittsburgh
I bought this in case of power outages. I wanted something portable and quiet, yet with adequate power. This seems to fit the bill. After the oil and gas were added, It started after the 4th pull.
I was very impressed with the noise level, I thought it was in efficiency mode but it was on full power. After a 5 minute warm up, I got out my miter saw, which is rated at 12 amps. It fired up instantly. No notable strain on the generator or the saw. I’ll exercise it periodically to break it in but I’m ready for the next outage. Time will tell as far as long term reliability. But it’s a good start.

I bought this for our 20 foot camper for camping of non-electric sites. Works great with use of two 6 volt batteries and a 2500w inverter.

Great generator!
on April 23, 2021
Posted by: Dauby and Duck
from Anderson, SC
The generator arrived with all parts and a good instruction manual. It was great that the included oil was the exact amount needed for the oil compartment. I'm using the bottle to measure the oil for changes. It started on the third pull and ran raggedly for the first 20 minutes then settled into a steady speed. Ran it for an hour, no load, then let it rest for an hour. Started up on the first pull and let it run for 2 hours at varying loads and it ran smoothly. Shut it down and changed the oil. It restarted again on first pull and ran smoothly for another two hours to complete break in. Changed the oil again and it was ready to go. We have used it now for about 60 hours runtime with no problems. It always starts easily on the first three pulls at most and runs smoothly. It's a great generator and I recommend it to anyone who needs an easy start reliable generator.

I bought this to use for portable power when working out on our property. So far starts every time and powers everything I need it for. Seems well built and isn't excessively loud.
