Looks great.

We just received this generator. Having used a generator in the past, there were a few things in particular I was looking for. Fuel gauge, electric start switch, wheels and frame already included. This generator fits the bill, and will be powerful enough for a few needed appliances during power outages in Florida. We haven’t started it up just yet, so I’m giving it 4 stars for now. So far so good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just bought this and got a great deal on a powerful generator. Will be a handy tool around the farm. Super fast shipping, well boxed and easy to set up and was running within 20 minutes.

Works good

This generator performed as expected. The product arrived in good shape. There was some minor scuffing on the bottom of the frame which would impact rust resistance for unfavorable environments but not an issue for me. It came with a wheel kit that wasn't too difficult to put on. It just needed to be propped up on something to get the wheels on. once that was done the cushioned feet were easy to install by just tipping the unit up using the wheels as pivot points. Oil and an oil addition funnel with a tube came with the unit. Adding oil was simple but does require the funnel and tube since the addition point is recessed somewhat under the frame. This could be improved but not a huge thing. There is an oil drain plug and it appears to be in a fairly good location. I haven't done an oil change yet to identify an issues but don't expect any. Battery connection and engine preparation to start were all simple and normal. The manual has instructions on how to convert the generator from a grounded neutral to floating as needed. Engine started easily using electric start. Pull start was not actually performed but based on quickness of start with starter and pull resistance, I expect no issues. Upon starting a puff of oil smoke came out indicating the cylinder was lubed with oil for storage and shipment. Noise level is loud but comparable with other generators of this type and size. Generator was connected to house using the 240 V outlet and assumed load as expected. 240 volt load was applied and worked fine. If the fuel is shut off the generator dies suddenly once all the fuel in the carburetor is used but when the fuel tank is low it runs erratically. This detail was not mentioned in troubleshooting in the manual. Not an issue unless someone in a power outage and less familiar with engines experiences RPM pulsations and goes to the troubleshooting section. Everything performed as expected.
