Super Quiet! Solidly Built!

Bought this for my boat and I continually get comments about how quiet it is, which is very important when you are out in nature. Had a little trouble at first with one of the internal gears sticking but it hasn't been a problem since. Also, it only shuts off when I turn off the fuel which takes a few minutes but is not an issue. I like how solid it is and doesn't take up a lot of space.
I purchased this inverter generator in winter, due to occasional power outages. Never used it or even set it up. Summer storms now creating uncertain conditions, so today I removed it from the box, and garage to get it ready to use. The setup was easy, the directions clear and (perhaps overly) comprehensive regarding safety and disclaimers. However, once I connected the battery, added oil and fuel, it started easily, both the automatic start button and remote control. This generator is good looking and I am impressed by how quiet it is (the reason to buy inverter type). So far, so good. Looking like a summer storm, so if I need to use it soon, I will update my rating, if appropriate.
I bought this for my wife to use for her horse trailer where I do no go with her, thus am not there to pull start a normal generator. She Loves the remote control start/stop button. Been having some recent trouble with the generator, but have found the service technician to be amazingly helpful in solving my problem. They want happy customers.
