Comes basically ready to go, connect battery(2 slip together wires) fill with shipped oil and start up. Already sitting on my cargo rack on the rear bumper of my travel trailer, enough juice to power everything and i mean everything. Just a hair over 100 lbs my wife and I can set it on cargo shelf no problem. Also kinda nice to have a bit larger one to have around the house just in case, you never know. Thanks
I've used this now for quite awhile, and am finally writing a review. I'm super happy with the purchase after using it awhile. The extending carrying handle and wheels are a must have, I would never get a generator without one, and it's cool to carry it around like it's a piece of luggage. I LOVED having the remote when I was in my camper to turn it on/off. I like the quiet (ECO) mode option. It seems to get pretty good "gas mileage" too. I would highly recommend this for anyone with an RV or need for a generator for camping. One piece of advice, treat it like you would a lawnmower... when winter comes before you get freezing temps, or anytime you're not going to use it for 4 months... run it until it runs completely out of gas and it stalls. Always do this, and the generator will fire right back up when you fill it with gas even years later.
We purchased this just before Beryl hit the Houston area. We had borrowed an older open frame generator with the same output, which was our only experience with generators. This generator is so much more quiet! We couldn’t even tell that it was running from inside our house with the windows open. It was very easy to set up and get running with the push button start (and it also has a remote control start). It’s very helpful that it has a display that shows current usage so you know how much more you can add to the load. We plugged in lots of fans, charged basic electronics, a refrigerator, and lights, and we were only using half the load capacity. We also bought this particular generator knowing if we needed to increase our generator output, we can buy an identical one, connect them, and run them parallel to double output. Very happy so far with our purchase!
Live in Florida and experience power weather related outages a few times a year. Lots of experience with many generators. Purchased this one for the new season. Couldn't be happier. Easy to operate runs relatively quite and plenty of power. Key phob start/stop is also a nice touch. Recommend for anyone needing a powerful affordable power option
This generator is great. I 1st used it after aftereffects from hurricane Debby knocked out my power. It was easy to set up and easy to use straight out the box. I love the handle which makes it easy to use. I operated a large deep freezer, a fan and my internet modem for several days.
