I bought this product about three months ago after doing extensive research and reading many reviews. With the threat of snow storms in our region, I finally decided to open box and fire up the generator for the first time. I was pleasantly amazed how easy it was to get it started. The instruction is simple and easy to follow. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the battery cables, negative and positive, are already attached to battery (not what I initially expected). All I had to do was attached the battery cable bundle into the cable attached to the generator via a quick-connect attachment. Oil fill up via plastic downspout provided is a breeze. I like that the downspout actually screws in for added stability and seal while pouring the oil to prevent oil spillage altogether. Fuel fill up is even easier. The start sequence is so simple. The generator started within two seconds of pushing the start button. I am impressed with the low engine noise. So far I am satisfied with my purchase. I know I have yet to put the generator to the test with multiple loads over a period of few hours but I'm quite optimistic that it will deliver as expected. I am also excited about the remote start/stop feature. I know my wife is excited about that feature also.
