Bought this unit in the event I am without power this winter, This unit has plenty horsepower to run my entire home. after receiving it I got the legs and wheels installed. fillied it up with the supplied oil and my gas, plugged in the battery, tried it using the remote. powered on immediately, then turned it off. tried the push button as well as the pull cord, both started with no issues. Haven't had to power anything in my home yet. but I am confident i'll have no problem. The gauges are big and clear to read. The noise level is not bad, it is a generator after all.
We've had this generator for a year now. Not only is it esthetically pleasing- it's a really pretty color blue, but it also has a pull handle and nice big wheels so it's functional too. It's extremely heavy. Handle is a must. It has plenty of outlets, ample supply wattage, even a remote to start it which is amazing when there's snow on the ground & it's cold outside. We couldn't be happier.
