What a great Generator. Purchased this for backup power to the panel in our home to run essential items, like refrigerators and some lights, TV, and small appliances.Utilized a Transfer Switch and It works great and runs so quiet you almost forget you are on backup power.

I've got questions...

I bought this about 6 months ago after a week long power outage at my house. I haven't had to use it for any length of time yet. But I have ran it like ther manual says to probably have around two hours on it. I've done a load test for my "emergency appliances" it is more than enough to power it. Once it runs it runs well.
So out of the box I had done questions. The fuel nob was not attached. Most of the screws looked like they had stripped damage. That was weird. So the first few times I tried to start it it took a solid 30 minutes to get it to start. So I started researching and found people have had issues with the electric choke for a 'cold start' . Once it's warm no issues. I was told you can remove the side panel and manual move the choke and it starts no problem. That's a little irritating to me because the push button and remote start where kind of a selling point for me. Such as if I wasn't home my wife could wheel it out press a button on the key fob and have power. But now added in that I would have to walk her through opening up a side panel and explaining where the choke is doesn't excite me.
It would be nice if they added a push button or lever that was a "cold start" choke that just did that simple action without having to open it up.
Other people mentioned upgrading the spark plug helped then out quite a bit... that said. I've had a difficult time finding alternative spark plugs according to their chart. I'm not sure if the spark plug they mentioned are obsolete or not common to the area I'm in. Everyone I've talked to say NGK spark plugs are the way to go, so if they could at least add a reference to which one would be appropriate that would be nice.
I would recommend this to someone with an RV who is going to start it and run it for a while frequently. But not really for someone using it as a backup for their house.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best generator

The only reason I did 4 stars is because it had some kind of a leak on top where you put gas. Unsure if it has some gas but other than that. It works great
