Just purchased a couple of weeks ago and fortunately we haven't been without power to use the generator but the initial set-up and start up was easy. The remote start is a really nice feature as I am unable to start it with the pull rope.
The generator was delivered at 12:30, it took me about one hour to assemble, fuel it and test it, and by 5:00 our power went out, so I rolled out the generator, started it, connected it, and it worked perfectly for the several hours until our power was restored. Perfect timing!
Right after we got it had a storm and lost power for 3 days. This unit came just in time ran great and did what I bought it for with no complaints very happy with it.
