First one was damaged, just got my second one

I purchased the first one and it came with the generator cover smashed like i saw on other reviews. it was strange because the box was not really damaged. I took a chance and ordered another one. The new one came today and it was not damaged. This one did have oil in the box and on the frame of the generator though so i thought maybe the oil they sent had leaked but it did not, must have just been where they drained it from the factory. I put the legs and wheels on (very simple) and oil and gas, started on about the 3rd pull. Seems to run fine, i have high hopes that it will do good. I have not really tried to run anything on it except for a shop vac just to make sure it works. Will test it out a little this weekend though.I like the appearance and the weight. Cant beat the price on this either, hopefully this will be a good purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Initial review

Just put this together. Minimal easy assembly. Simple instructions.
Push of a button and I’m good to go. This unit came highly
recommended by an electrician friend of mine. I bought this for peace of
mind and now I hope I never have to use it. But if I do I’m confident
it will do the job.

Can a generator be beautiful?

Now, I'm can only cover aspects up to running, as I have not yet fired it up. So please take that into consideration.
The packaging was much better than I had heard of in other reviews. This had ZERO marks, scratches, dings, or missing parts! Everything was there. Putting on wheels and baby buggy bumpers was not a problem at all and they even included a #10 open face wrench. Handle pulled right up and structure is well made tubing. Ironically, the wheels have bearings in them! That amazes me. It came with spark plug wrench, #10 metric wrench, manuals, warranty....3 YEAR! and oil as well as funnel were both included. Battery connections were a plug-in type that couldn't get crossed. The ground needed tightening, so check BOTH! On a side note; the manual is well written, which I find surprising in today's world. Do READ the warnings!!! Can't stress enough, this is not plug and play; its electricity! Things like grounding, wire gauge, not having things plugged in BEFORE firing up, noting LOAD balancing, all very critical to a long life for your equipment.
