Purchased this to run our RV when we have hurricane or thunderstorm disabled our normal power . Have run the RV for 5 hours as a test run and so far extremely pleased.
Bought this after Hurricane Dorian to be prepared for future storms as we are a recent transplant to hurricane country. It wasn't the cheapest option, but has 9500 W continuous and up to 12000 peak so it will run most everything we need in an emergency. Received the unit in good shape despite being super heavy. It was mostly ready to go except for bolting on the wheels and ground rests. Hooked up the battery, added oil (included!) and gas and set the fuel open. It started right up with a key FOB like your car. Didn't even have to pull the cord. Super easy. Let it run some to break it in a little bit, then set the breakers and put some load on it. It ran everything fine! It has USB to charge your phones/computers, normal 15A, 30A and even a 50A circuit available. Eventually we would like to hook this up to a transfer switch, but for now we'll use extension cords. Seems to be really easy to use and maintenance appears to be pretty straight-forward. Hoping not to be without house power for an extended length of time but if we are for whatever reason we will be well prepared with this.
Assembly was easy. Instructions clear. Started on first try. Noise level excellent for machine of this size. Lots of features. Remote start is great. Machine is a great value for the price.
I bought this generator so I won't be in the dark during the next power outage. I haven't had any outages yet but I did test the generator and there's plenty of power to run what I need to.
