Easy to start. Require very little effort to start manually. The remote allow for great convenience when we needed to start from a distance. Very quite. In economic mode the generator ran super-quite and the noise level hardly change with additional load except for the initial surge when power hungry equipment (example A.C.) were stared. Love the wheels at one end and the RV plug.
Fired up on first try. Much quieter than expected. Only negative was Owners Manual has been updated and I received old manual. Easily corrected by going online. If your manual tells you to tilt the unit and drain the oil from the the fill plug opening it is wrong (suspect this was the way previous smaller units were done). Should read ...using 12mm wrench remove oil drain bolt....etc.
This is the wrong generator. Mine wasn't listed in the drop down box. I bought the WH2200iXLT and it works great. Starts by the second pull and runs for hours. I put it to the test for two weeks in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I had to charge deep cycle batteries to run my biPAP machine and even used it for a toaster. Also, ran some lights while the batteries were charging. Never any problem.
This inventor was purchased prior to Hurricane Florence. Although we did not have to use it for a long period, it was easy to set up and start. It ran quietly and clean. I powered more appliances and electronics then expected. It ran for over 10 hours on one tank of gas. Highly recommended. Ian
