I bought this generator to replace a 12 year old 3000 watt that is too small to start my well pump. I also opted for the electric start as I'm getting old. This generator has a solidly built frame and a nice one piece handle instead of two "stick" handles- easier to move. It was very easy to put together, probably not more then 20 minutes. Note that the battery comes disconnected with a simple plug that is tucked under the front panel. No need to monkey with the battery connections themselves. It starts immediately, is fairly quiet, and has several power plugs including the necessary 240volt that my house transfer switch utilizes so it was immediately plug and play. I researched several different brands and this fit the bill at the best price. Perfect.
I just got this generator for a backup if my electric goes out, I haven’t had to use it yet. I unpacked it and put the wheels on it , filled it with gas and oil hit the starter button and It fired right up, very happy with it.
Love my new generator, powers up my RV so I can use A/C, lights and fridge. Really quite and efficient! Love it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this a couple of day age, took home, read thru user manual, unboxed unit, attached wheels and vibration feet, filled with oil, put in gas and it cranked it up on third pull. In all it took about 30 minutes from unboxing to cranking it up. Great unit, not too loud. Next day let it run for about an hour to break in engine per instructions. Haven't attached any power cords yet. Will do at a later date.
