I bought this a month ago and just recently decided to get it ready due to bad weather coming. Everything went together great plugged in the battery charger for the night probably 14 hrs. Unplugged the charger and the lights went out on generator. I used the pull start and it fired right up so I let it run a 1/2 hrs to charge the battery and shut it off and still won't electric start. Now to see how long it takes to fix the problem.
This is a gift from my children who knew I had problems pulling the cord on my old generator. This will be so much easier with the push button start and it even has a remote. I will now be able to run my furnace instead of just one refrigerator. I gives me a wonderful peace of mind.
have not used for an actual power outage yet. assembled unit very easily. added oil and gas made battery connections. started with the first push of the button. instruction manual very good and easy to understand. let the unit run for 15 minutes with no load. ran very nicely and not too loud. appears to be well built and i like all its features so far.
I bought this generator as a back source of power for my entire first floor. Very easy unboxing and setting up. Would definitely recommend this generator.
