Easy to assemble/use, but damaged in transit!

Like many other reviews, my units frame and alternator cover were damaged in transit. I had to take the cover off and bend it back into shape. The cardboard box it comes in doesn't protect the ends of the unit at all. Other than that it works well and is surprisingly quiet.
I purchased this because it had features that I liked, electric start and remote plus if needed a pull cord.Secure handle to move it easy. When not using it folds and you can’t see the handle.
I bought this generator to use as back up in the winter. It runs great, starts easily using push button and powers the whole house without problem. Highly recommend!
Fired right up the first time. Easy to operate. Powers an a/c, microwave, fridge, and all lights at the same time in our 23 volt bumper pull camper. It's as loud as I would expect a generator to be. We'll see about longevity. Too early to tell.
ONE SUGGESTION; MOVE THE CROSS MEMBER 1" TOWARD THE END OR MORE SO OIL DOES NOT RUN DIRECTLY ONTO THE FRAME WHEN OIL IS CHANGED. IT IS INTENDED TO BE USED FOR POWER OUTAGES TO RUN LIGHTS, HEAT, AND WATER PUMP. MAY BE USED OCCASIONALLY FOR CAMPING. ATTRACTIVE GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL IS NICELY LAID OUT. HANDLE FOR MOVING IT AROUND IS A LITTLE OVER KNEE HIGH. GOOD LITTLE LIGHT WEIGHT MACHINE. I'LL RECOMMEND IT TO PEOPLE.
I bought this for backup power for my house essential items, Easily handles refrigerators, freezer, and basic lights. very pleased with this generator!
What I like: Love the remote and push-button start! Really impressed with the design - everything is well thought out and well made. Generator runs smooth once warmed up and auto-choke turns off. The included oil-fill spout (screws into oil inlet) is a nice accessory. Manual and operation instructions are very well written. What could be better: Manual choke lever is a bit small, somewhat tucked away and not easy to find first time especially in the dark. No information is provided for battery trickle charger that is included.
