This generator provides everything we need when we lose power in our little Adirondack home. Its been dependable and relatively quiet! A good choice for us.
Now, I'm can only cover aspects up to running, as I have not yet fired it up. So please take that into consideration. The packaging was much better than I had heard of in other reviews. This had ZERO marks, scratches, dings, or missing parts! Everything was there. Putting on wheels and baby buggy bumpers was not a problem at all and they even included a #10 open face wrench. Handle pulled right up and structure is well made tubing. Ironically, the wheels have bearings in them! That amazes me. It came with spark plug wrench, #10 metric wrench, manuals, warranty....3 YEAR! and oil as well as funnel were both included. Battery connections were a plug-in type that couldn't get crossed. The ground needed tightening, so check BOTH! On a side note; the manual is well written, which I find surprising in today's world. Do READ the warnings!!! Can't stress enough, this is not plug and play; its electricity! Things like grounding, wire gauge, not having things plugged in BEFORE firing up, noting LOAD balancing, all very critical to a long life for your equipment.
I put it together and put oil and fuel in it. It started on the third pull and seems to be working just fine. I'll know more in a year or so but a good start.
I would recommend this to a friend!
