Picked up unit yesterday and put it together last night. Started right up and runs great. Put a circular saw on it for a small load test and unit barely even grunted. Runs a little bit loud. I thought it had the idle control feature but apparently it does not. A minor issue, but it would be nice if it had it. Overall very pleased so far! Unit looks very well made and runs like a champ.
I bought this a couple of months ago, as an upgrade to an older smaller generator. Setup was easy and quick. The instructions were clear, and easy to follow. This generator has a lot of very nice features, especially for the price! Any generator of decent capacity is fairly loud, but this one is considerably quieter that my old one, which is half the size. I can't comment on durability, but was reassured by the three year warranty. Time will tell, but I'm very satisfied with my purchase, and would recommend this product to a friend.
Just bought this last week and charged battery overnight last night and started up this morning. Fob has to be paired to generator to start (unless you want to start manually with pull cord). Pairing process was easy and it started right up. However, the one negative is that you really can't start it remotely as I'd imagined because you have to turn on the gas cutoff to "On" and you have to turn the power switch on, so really no point in having a fob to start it with when you have to go out anyway to do these steps. Also, power cord does not come with it so you will have to purchase one before you can actually use it.
Great features, high output with long run time. We went through the Texas ice storm with no problems in large part to having a reliable electrical supply to keep house warm. This generator is fantastic.
