I recently bought this generator. I am very pleased how quiet this generator is for it's size! Plenty of power to run my 300 foot deep well and other appliances during power outages. I never thought I'd need a remote start device, however now that I have it I wonder how I got along without one. I feel so much safer now that I have no need to touch the generator frame to start up if/when I have to roll it outside on the wet ground after raining. I love the smart panel design and blue color. If I could rate this generator higher than 5 stars I would. Great job guys!!! Love it!
Caveat...I have only assembled and started the generator. I have not yet needed to plug it in. That being said, the engine started easily, once I found and turned on the choke. It was more quiet than smaller generators I have used in the past. The electric and remote starts are great features as are the dual fuel capability, especially when a hurricane hits and gasoline is scarce. While waiting for your generator to arrive (mine took two weeks, Dorian came and went), I would suggest picking up a quart of 10W30 four-stroke motor oil. Although the unit comes with one quart, it needed approximately 1.3 quarts to get the oil level to the middle of the dip-stick.
I brought this generator just in time for hurricane Dorian and let me tell you it has the power that I was looking for. And the remote start is a plus.
