I Purchased this a month ago and so happy I did! After our last hurricane I don't have to worry about being without power again. I thought that it was going to be really loud but it wasn't that bad. I was a great investment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Seem to perform well so far-many starting attempts

I selected this portable, dual-fuel, 7500W generator to run just the essentials (window AC, dorm size refrigerator, microwave, internet gateway, lights and fans) during a power outage, which are frequent here in Houston, TX (Hurricane Alley). I wanted a dual-fuel because propane is more stable and easier to store long-term than gasoline, but if unable to get more propane during an emergency, gasoline would still be an option.
We haven't had a real outage yet, but the accessories included with the generator and the installation instructions seem complete. I was able to add oil, select propane fueling, and start the generator without any real difficulty. It's not too loud for a portable generator - it's about as loud as a gas-powered lawnmower, which I think is commendable, since its engine is significantly larger.
The one concern I have is that the generator seems to take quite a few cranking attempts to start when cold - perhaps up to half a dozen. I accepted this on first start, since all the parts are new, but it still seems to need up to half a dozen cranking attempts to start (as stated, I am running on propane, your results may vary on gasoline). It takes enough cranking attempts that I always wonder if it's going to start or if I'll need to call service.
I'm using a fairly unusual connection method, where the generators 240V L1430R outlet is connected to a 1430 Generator Inlet Box, which is connected into a small load center where the 240 is split into two 120V, 20A circuits with through-the-wall wiring. This will avoid any extension cords running from the generator through doors or windows into the house, and also avoid the GFCI functionality of the two built-in 120V outlets, which I don't want. I also won't be powering any 240V devices, so I would never use the 240V outlet unless I split it this way.
Once I've used it in a real outage, if it's possible to update reviews I'll update this as to its propane usage and reliability.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Convenient & Reliable

This is my first generator purchase. I made the purchase for my vacation home which frequently looses power. The generator was easy simple to set up. I followed the directions and had the generator running in about 30 minutes from the time I opened the box. After adding the oil (included in the package) and gasoline, the generator started on the first try. Starting was as simple as putting the switches in the right position and holding the start button!

from south alabama
got it back in june and use it to run my welding machine on 240 and it runs great... the added fuel saving benefit of the remote key fob enables me to turn it on and off only when i need to make a weld pass, that way i only consume fuel when i need to and not when i dont making it easier on my wallet
I would recommend this to a friend!
