Does the job well

I have only used it once but it was within 2 weeks of purchase. Transformer blew and this generator kept the essentials on and allowed me to work normally. I hope to not need it often, but I'm glad I have it just in case. Thank you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this generator and I going through the "breaking-in" phase. I like the propane run feature and look forward to putting it to the test, under load. The unit is well built. I would recommend the product.

I bought this product last October and just opened it today and put the wheels and the rubber feet on. I let it burn in for an hour and then used is for an hour with no issues.

Easy to assemble and love the option to use either fuel to power the generator. Purchased ahead of hurricane season for backup power.

I purchased this generator just over a month ago and have used it several times. I needed a way to power my RV while boondocking in southern California. While running, this generator will charge my batteries, power the A/C unit, heat my water, run my fridge and power my 120v devices at the same time using the 30A plug. I run it on a 20lb propane tank before switching over to the gas tank. The generator will run for most of the day on 20lb of propane and slightly longer on the 4.7gal tank of gasoline.
The generator certainly isn't quiet, but it is essential for powering my devices when I don't have an electrical hookup. It was also reasonably affordable compared to similarly sized models by other brands. One feature I would have liked was an electronic starter so that my battery inverter could automatically start the generator when my battery level falls below a certain threshold, but for the tradeoff in cost, I can handle turning it on and off manually.
It only takes 2-3 pulls of the cord to start on both propane and gasoline, with a large knob to easily switch between the two. I run the generator in the bed of my truck making sure to put it in the center to give it as much clearance as possible. It does put out a lot of heat, but doesn't appear to harm my truck bed. It would probably be better to run the generator on the ground, but it's a little too heavy for me to be lifting in and out of the truck bed when I need to use it. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase.
