We just purchased this inverter to replace an old generator as a home backup. The instructions and set up were very easy. It started with one push of the start button and we were very pleased with how quiet it ran.
Bought it to run concession equipment and was surprised at how quiet it is. Electric start is nice with a fob. Looking forward to hooking it up to the new machine and see how hard we can push it. Tote handle tucks away nice. Auto idle downPretty impressed so far with it.
Very happy with the purchase of our generator. I really like the small footprint of the unit, and I like how it looks too. It is very easy to use - push-button start, pull start, and key fob have all worked well. I will say it is a pain to have to plug in the wiring harness for the auto-choke, and I would like to see the manual choke have easier access (I'm keeping it a 5-star review because the auto-choke worked as needed after I got the harness plugged in and considering the shape of the box the generator arrived in, it very well could have been jostled loose during shipping.) I like being able to monitor different aspects of the machine, especially the voltmeter during the break-in phase.
being a mechanic, I had the fore thought to order a carb jet kit since I would be using this at high altitude. found detailed instructions online and installed in a half an hour. installed battery, added gas and oil, and generator fired right up. Only have 10 hours on it at this point, but I am very pleased!
