Just purchased. Found the directions and the assembly to be easy to understand. Purchased due to good reviews. The wheels are nice but a handle would make moving easier.
Was going strong for about a month. Then the battery it came with literally exploded and the unit itself stopped functioning.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this for my wife so she doesn't have to pull a rope. I myself am confined to a wheelchair. So you can imagine the looks I got when my old generator would not start. She loves the push button start. Lets just hope hurricanes stay away, but at least we are ready. (VERY NICE UNIT) .
