I really like this generator. Instructions were well-written and easy to follow thus making assembly a breeze. It has numerous handy features not found on many competitors. My favorite four features are....... 1) Electric start with key fob remote 2) Auto choke feature (No need to set to "choke" before starting.) 3) Automatic high CO shut-off safety feature 4) 20, 30 and 50 amp outlets. Most competitors offer 20 and 30 amp outlets, but few offer a 50 amp outlet. People with large homes and multiple refrigerators, freezers, electric ranges, A/C system, well pump, sump pump, etc. will find this invaluable.
I also like the metal fuel shut-off valve versus plastic found on most. This is indicative of a well made unit.
I do not often leave product reviews, however, I felt compelled to in this case. After shopping around, I landed on this generator and was surprised to see its affordability and the features it has. Living in a hurricane prone area, having a generator is necessary and this one is perfect for the application I had in mind. Its wattage will allow me to run so much more than the essentials. It operates flawlessly, the documentation and tools provided with it are high quality and I can start it with the push of a button, so I do not have to brave the southern heat and humidity for too long. It is a solid purchase.
This is my first time owning a generator and this one doesnt disappoint. I lose power often where i live and to know that this is reliable, durable, and will perform and keep my house appliances running. No brainer this is a must buy!
