Great value - works well jsut soem minor nits
on September 27, 2021
Posted by: bluesplayer
works great - both gas and propane, bought as an emergency generator but have been using with a compressor and battery charger for power tools as we build a large shed on the back half of my lot. I might even buy another (later) as a parallel power unit (or one for shed and one for house outage emergencies. The nits are all ergonomic and obviously would need some re-design to make it PERFECT. I’m old, have bad back and bad knees and very large hands – I’m a big guy but getting down on all fours just to add oil or even view the oil level is stupid – make fill tube longer by at least 6-8 inches, add a longer dip stick and for God's sake please need a proper oil drain cock. – no “dip unit over” that’s a broken hand/arm waiting to happen. Add a way to drain the gas tank completely without having to run to “dry” – there is still gas left in tank (so yes a tank redesign) . The battery cover needs to be about an inch all around larger (the big hand's thing). Finally, a separate “quick access” panel to access the spark plug, carburetor bowl drain screw, and the choke (just in case)

I bought this as backup for our house. We were out of power for 10 days last winter and I don't want to go through that again. This unit has all the features we need to get through another power outage, including running it with propane.

Bought one of these few months back and it leaked oil. Menards took it back and I purchased another one that appears to be running better.

Switching from propane to gas it doesn't always stay running. Changing oil can be messy, but over all product I would recommend.

So far so good

Only just purchased the gen but it’s pretty impressive so far. Wasn’t sure on the quality of oil provided with it so I decided to put in Amsoil 10W-30 to ensure it had high quality lubricant. Past reviews indicated problems with the automatic choke and the issue is usually that the control wire is unplugged from the control board. Took covers off to check that the auto choke wire was connected to the control board and it was so good to go there. Connected the battery and hit the start button. It fired right up in about 2 seconds as if it had just been running. Was pretty impressed. Tested the remote start and again it fired right up instantly. Very quiet for this amount of power so I am very happy. Now just hope it proves to be durable and reliable for years to come.
