Good generator, just an inch from greatness

Bought this during the big Puget Sound outage of November. It only ran for a day before power came back, but I'm glad to have bought it. I love that it can use propane, so I don't have to deal with gas storage and carburetor cleanup over time, and it's very compact and relatively quiet. It is quite heavy though, but the wheels and carry handle help.
However, for 5 starts it would have to be perfect, and this has some missed opportunities. Adding oil in the beginning was an absolute pain, the oil cap is buried at the bottom, and the funnel provided is minuscule. A cheaper 2000watt generator from a diff brand had a much longer and easier funnel. How hard would be to put the oil cap and dipstick somewhere at the top? And I found the remote start/stop pretty pointless - what I really need, is a remote control to turn the eco mode on/off, for when I need to start some big honkin' motor, like a portable AC/heatpump or dehumidifier. These will overload the generator in eco mode. And you do want to have it in eco mode most of the times, it's thristy :)

Otherwise highly recommended. I was eyeing this for a long time, wish I had bought it during some previous shorter outages, instead of half way through a 5 days one. If you are like me, and still on the fence whether to buy one or not, you now know what to do...

I bought this in Mid October 24 and used it at a tailgate for one of the Virginia Tech football games. So far it has performed up to its description. I'm impressed with the ease of operation and the quietness. I am using it for camping and as a light back up for the house in case the power goes out.
I would recommend this to a friend!
