I just received this unit. I assembled it (easy), I added oil (easy) and I started it up (easy) for a few minutes. I will run it again in a few days for longer and add a load or two. The tru test will be the next outage when I can run my well pump.
We just bought this after several recent storms. It was easy to assemble and get started. It is very heavy; an extended handle would have been nice to move it around.
In 30 minutes had it unboxed and ready to go. Started right up. Not nearly as heavy as my old one. Replacing a 7000 max but seems like it will do the job. The electric start is a game changer.
Giving it a 4 just because we havent used it yet. We have just put the wheels on and taken it to the shed. So cannot speak to how it works, though operation seems fairly straightforward. We purchased this generator based on referrals from friends.
I would recommend this to a friend!
