The generator arrived with the manual clutch disconnected from the front panel. We had to reconnect it before using the generator. I bit disappointing for a brand new generator. However, the handle and wheels are a nice feature and now that it’s fixed will probably be a good generator for us.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this after purchasing a larger one and decided to down grade to a small inverter. This is as great quality as the last one and would buy it again!
I have another generator rated at the same output but it is gasoline only, heavier and louder. I ran this one for an hour break in period. I varied the load but kept it below 50% as instructed. After a little over an hour I performed an initial oil change due to small engines not having oil filters. I used propane and had to play with the choke a little but it started quite easily and ran well. It has a reasonable level of noise but it is a generator. So far very impressed with this unit.
