We decided to bite the bullet after repeated power outages left us in the dark and cold. This unit arrived with minimal assembly required and fired right up. It performed admirably during a test run, with no issues running our appliances, heat, and main room lights and outlets. Although we've yet to truly need it, it's nice having peace of mind.
I unpacked the generator and was happy to find the battery already installed and the bottle of oil ready to put in. The instructions were easy to follow and in no time the generator was running.
