I just bought it today, so my review so far is that it is easy to setup so far. Oil and gas where easy to fill up, just making so it not over filled and now I'm off to the store to get some gas not enough.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Horrible

Doesn’t work. Got this one because it is rated for much more than we need and it barely starts and when it does it trips. Don’t waste your money, spend a bit more and get the Honda.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this beautiful generator a week ago and it has been amazing right out of the box. The days of bogging down are over and it is crazy how quiet this thing is. Love this for me.

Not Impressed

Initially it was amazing. It ran our washing machine, the ac in our motorhome, and a table saw or similar tool. However, by the beginning of July and after the return time period was up, it can only handle either the washer, the ac or a tool like the table saw but definitely not two.
It still runs quite but now we are back to using our old generator for most things other than the washing machine which requires a generator with sensitive power output.
The oil is good, the air filter is good, there’s nothing wrong with it starting, it would get an overload but not reset. It would just sit there not starting after it shut down trying to run the same three things it ran before, but now it overloads then dies. It will not reset or restart until…?

All I could do so far is set it up and start it, but that was easy.
