This is very much a fine product with two noted exceptions: 1) An acrid smell from the exhaust with running fresh gas. 2) Electric start never starts on the first attempt - has to repeat the starter cycle. If this Chinese made engine only had manual start, it would be a problem with a lot of people
I selected this product due to the fact that it was an easy setup, had a three year warranty and was transfer switch ready. I also liked the idea that it had a FOB (electric) for easy start. 7500 watts was very impressive, where other generators were only 6500 watts.
