Bought a year ago and and tested it a couple of times a few months apart. It refused to start when most needed, during a power outage. It did start the next day, then failed to start again after a few months. If you cannot rely on a generator to operate when you need it, then it's obviously pointless to own it.
Haven't used it yet, but I like knowing I have power available when the utility company shuts us down for fire safety in CA. Having an electrician hook it into the main panel on my house.
Did extensive research on Generators in the event of a power outage. Everything led me to this Brand. Finally got it and installing it was a breeze. The electric start is very convenient and can be started by anyone. It is a very heavy piece of machinery, but with the wheels, it can be moved to where it needs to be. Overall i am very pleased with my purchase and i know with care and maintenance, it will last years to come.
the remote feature is great but what made it the one was the one touch button start up. it is less noise with this one my olderone was a wake me up noise.
