I bought one of these a couple months ago and has been working flawlessly. It is used continuously on projects and bought a second one for another project.
Just used this generator over the weekend for about 28 hours straight during our power outage. Let me first say that this generator did not disappoint. Easy prep work for installation of wheels and adding oil. Filling gas to about 5 gallons simple too. Plugged the wire connectors for battery starter w ease. Put choke on and immediately it fired right up! About 2-3 minutes put choke on middle idle for another 2-3 minutes. It was then ready for full throttle run and hook up to house. Got a 30amp outside outlet wired to my panel box so had the plug in cord bought separately. Once house main breaker off I switched panel over to the 30amp power coming from generator. Flipped house breakers for furnace, refrigerator, microwave, room outlets and ceiling lights. This generator could easily handle this power load which was very sufficient running the minimum needed in our house. Added more gas around 13 hours later and again next morning. So in total over 10 gallons plus for 28 hours before power was restored. Very pleased went to bed and woke up not worrying it would run out of gas. Had to turn couple house breakers off to run stove for cooking, but otherwise never needed to push this generator to its limits. I’m extremely happy with this generators performance. The price is right for size and output. Very lightweight when moving on wheels and doesn’t take much space up when storing in garage. No more uneasiness worrying about losing power ever again now that I own this generator. A total must have for homeowners!
