What great product. When I received his product, it was raining and the electric went off. I had it up and running in 15 minutes. I ran it for six hours and not a problem. It was so easy getting running for the first time. This Generator is a very quiet starts in one full and was well packaged. In that six hours, it ran more than I expected I was very happy with that.
I just received today and gave it a test run with a heater. It worked as expect, but have to change plugs to test 220v. It is quieter than the Powermate that shot craps.
I had a Generac large generator, which had been left in a garage for several years full of gas. I could not move this, so decided to go with something smaller that I could manage. We got the tires and feet on easily. After reading all the instructions, we used the electric start and it took a minute, but then it started right up. I had to go with an electric start as I have shoulder problems and cannot use a recoil. We let it run awhile before plugging anything in, a fan which was nearby. It did not come on at first and we realized we had not turned the Amps to 120. Once we did this we had cool air circling around us. This made me very happy. I had a generator I could handle and that worked and was easy to start. As I live in hurricane prone Florida, this was a great purchase. Something light enough I could handle and that I could easily start should I lose power. I did have to wait a week for it arrive from the store, but it was well worth it. I have a ramp from my lanai to the yard, so I can take it out if necessary to use. The price was excellent. I did go overboard on buying cables, etc. and wound up returning half of them. I would recommend this generator to anyone who needs a backup source of power. It is manageable and does not take up a lot of room.
