Quiet, light weight

I bought this generator for the weight to power ratio. I own a Honda i3000 and it weighs 120 lbs. I’m too old to be lifting that in and out of my truck. This is half the weight, has more power and is just as quiet at a fraction of the price.
Unit was well packaged and easy to set up. Poored the included oil into the generator as instructed and connected the battery cables together. Fired right up using a 20lbs propane tank. I don’t intend on running gasoline through this unit since I don’t want to worry about toting a gas can around with me and propane doesn’t go bad. Remote start is awesome feature and I don’t have to go out in the elements anymore. I noticed it is a little more loud than my Honda EU3000, but this was also a third of the price. 30 hours on the motor over the last week and it is running great. I am going to do an oil change at this point just cause I like to do one after a break in period.
Quick easy setup. Was shocked it came with a full breakdown and parts list so you can fix yourself. Running today and ready for the next camping season
I received this Inverter as a gift. It was very easy to set up and to start. Very easy to move around. Love the fact that it will run on propane or gas.
I purchased this inverter generator few weeks ago got it broke in and works great light weight able to carry from place to place without a struggle the features are good also the display showing running time gas levels and power output are very nice the display light for night use is also helpful the quality put into this makes it a purchase with the money
I just set mine up and ran it for about an hour. Ran a refrigerator, charged a phone and a backup battery. Went back and forth between standard and eco mode. Seems to throttle correctly. After running, I wanted to try draining the carburetor bowl, which went smoothly once I identified the screw. The setup instructions left a lot to be desired about how to do this and I resorted to online material. Once I found the screw it was a snap. The other thing that tripped me up was the connection of the battery connectors inside. There is a little add-on tag on the unit that identifies you need to do it, but no further explanation. After numerous tries of pulling the manual start cord, I figured it had to be something like the battery as the light wasn’t lit on the switch when you turn it on. I once I connected the battery cables inside, it fired right up!
I also love how quiet this unit is. I tested the decibels at about 23 feet and it was only 56db on regular mode(not eco mode). Right next to it and it was only 64db!
I look forward to using it during the next power outage!
