I have two honda generators and needed a higher power one for my camper. I like to remote start and noise level about the same as my 1000 and 2000 honda..
I did extensive research on several similar sized units. I wanted one that was quiet. The display, the size and weight of the unit, the remote control, the battery start, and the gas consumption efficiency all played into my decision. The review said there was a common problem with the choke, but I figured I could deal with that. I wish it came with a tender that you could keep plugged in, but the customer service rep said to use it for a max of 8 hrs. The battery is just like a motorcycle battery so I will buy a tender for it. It makes no sense to have to plug the unit in just before you need it in an emergency. I have only run it a couple minutes, but I'm hoping the reliability is good.
Just pulled the unit out of the box, put everything together, put some fuel in and it fired right up.. no problems at all. I hooked it up to my travel trailer and performs well, this generator has plenty of power and is quiet in comparison to many other generators.
