Great Generator for the Cost!

I purschased this generator before a planned power outage in my town. I was able to put the oil in and have it running in 10 minutes after opening the box. We were able to have heat in January in western NY and kept our refrigerator and freezer running. Also, we will use this generator for our camper since it is big enoigh to supply 30 amps to run the AC in the middle of summer. It will be awesone to be able to tap into the propane on the camper to run the generator at camp grounds that do not supply electricity.

It’s a generator

Interesting that they offer you a generator cover if you leave a review when you register the product. When you haven’t had time to even try it, they want a review. Seems a little bizarre to me.
So first impressions…
I like that the oil bottle holds just the right amount to fill it up. It was a bit messy, but there is a nice threaded funnel that really helps. I got oil all over my hands, but not all over the generator.
I started it on propane, but haven’t put any gas in it. It took a few pulls for first start.
The starter doesn’t work, so I will find out fast how customer service is to deal with.
It is quiet. I hooked a space heater up an it works.
It seems like the marketing videos show them hooking propane up to a quick connect, but you need a wrench. The wrench included doesn’t fit the either of the propane regulator or hose fittings, so I am not sure what that wrench is for yet.
I think it is weird that they don’t ship the high altitude kit with it. They want you to buy that separately on the website. I was able to find a propane kit but not a carb kit. They don’t even sell one. It is crazy that they even sell generators in high altitude areas that are not ready to run in that area. Time to call customer service and see if I can get some help with the starter.

Perfect for Florida Power Outages

We haven't had to use this for an extended amount of time but we have fired it up with both propane and gas and after a few times troubleshooting the instant start, it worked perfectly. Highly recommend for a smaller generator, that is easy to move and not super loud, for those power outages during hurrican season, easy to store.
