Love the electric start

I bought this about a month ago to be my primary power source dur power outages. My previous generator is a pull start and stand out in the cold pulling and pulling and pulling has just gotten old. Completing the generator build was quite simple and kudos for the funnel that screws into the oil fill, however, if it were a couple of inches longer over pours could be eliminated. Thee reason for the lose of one star is because the quick connect wiring is backward from what is needed for a battery tender connect, necessitating the need to install a seperate quick connect for that purpose. I turned off all the power to my house and then connected the generator, running the house on generator power for about 45 minutes with no issues. The true test will be when I'm hooking it up in an ice sstorm.
I bought this generator to get me thru winter power outages. The unit started right up with the electric start and pull start. I gave it a test run for an hour or so, very smooth and quiet operation. Powerful little unit in a nice compact design.
My daughter had bought a Westinghouse generator this spring and we have been very happy with it, so I followed suit. Have not had a reason to rely on the generator yet, but the unit came as described and is easy to handle.
