Gift from our son. Bought for our house for emergencies. We haven't had to use it for that, but our other son is a welder and used our generator all day for welding repairs and said it held up as well, if not better than the generators they are using on the job site.
Just arrived a few days ago, started up with no problem. Plugged into the house and this baby has power! Had no trouble powering up the few breakers I turned on!
This is quieter than my previous generator. I tried all 3 starting options - remote, push button , and pull cord - it all three started like a charm. Seems to be very robust. Have not used it yet besides trialing it. So far so good.
We purchased this product a few weeks ago and have already put to work a few times and it has worked flawlessly. All thou we have only owned it a short while we expect that it will be a great work horse for us years to come.
