Remote start is great.

Works great with my RV with remote start. Had some problems with the temperature probe and cycling against the governor but tech staff helped me take care of all of that. Haven’t used it much but it is running just fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this to replace a Hyundai 2200w inverter that had become extremely temperamental over the years, and I'm very glad I made the purchase. Starts very easily, runs quiet and is very reasonable on gas. I'm also happy to be able to lift and move it by myself, which is not something I can do with my Honda which is similarly rated. The electric start works great and is a super nice feature, too! We'll see how time treats this guy, but so far, so good!

I bought this to keep my boat heated during cold snaps. I looked at a lot of generators before buying this one. The main selling points are; the large 3.4 gallon tank so it can run all night long, the hour meter so I don’t have to guess at maintenance intervals, and the three year warranty. It is quiet and starts every time without hesitation. I am very happy with this generator.

This is my 2nd one. Living in sub freezing locations, this remote start function is insane! Walking out into the snow and ice to start/stop the generator is a thing of the past

oil change door is very small and the bolt would not remove from the extension. The extension would unscrew from the motor, draining the oil in an incorrect spot making it very messy.

Great generator

Just bought this generator, plan on using this with our 30ft fifth wheel RV. Like all of the features. Started right up after adding oil and fuel out of the box. Arrived in perfect condition. The one draw back is the remote start. Says should work from 99 feet away. It won't work enless I'm standing with-in 15ft of the generator. I'm going to re-pair the remote to generator as directions in book say to do to see if that solves the problem.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Choke Access Sucks
on December 26, 2021
Posted by: easyabc123
Operating this generator requires choke adjusting.
Unfortunately, the choke is behind the side panel which requires removing five bolts. Phillips head bolts that will ware over time.
So, poor design in this regards.
So, poor design in this regards.
The choke should be assessable without removing the side panel.
Also, the remote on/off FOB is simpley a marketing bell with no whistle.
When the generator is remotely shut down. You will still need to go to the generator and manually shut off the battery so you don’t waste battery power.
And, you will need to close the gasoline valve so the engine does not flood.
Other than those design flaws, the generator works well, as hoped, for the moment.
Stay tuned.
