Well built and easy start

I purchased this generator during the approach of hurricane Florence. Fortunately, I did not have to use it. It took all of 30 minutes to remove from the box, attach wheels and front supports, fill with oil and gas, and crank it. It started on the first push of the start button. My plan is to build an enclosure for it and tie it into my house electrical. Although I haven't used it to power anything, I am pleased with the machine. Well built and extremely easy to use.
Single female age 64. Purchased this on 09/08/2018 and received 09/19/2018. Shipping was delayed due to Hurricane Florence. Thank goodness we dodged a bullet here and power remained on. Had to have someone put the feet and wheels on (too heavy for me) but I can maneuver it just fine with the wheels. Electric start and remote start/stop worked the 1st time - whew! Was without power for 6 wks in Hurricane Hugo and never want to do that again - ever. Excellent purchase that will hopefully never be used!
Generator arrived in excellent condition. Very well made. Wheel installation exceptionally easy. Manual is very good. High above most others i have seen. Setup and starting was a breeze. Running smooth so far. Very satisfied.
We haven't had an occasion to use the generator but we were able to assemble quite easily even though we're in our late 60"s. We thought it would be too heavy for us to take from the garage but the wheels make is so easy to transport. So far so good!
Set up was fast and easy and you can tell this is a well built unit will all metal components. It weighed in at around 200 pounds but with the included wheel kit it was easy to move around which is great for my wife to use in case I'm not home. After installing the wheels, connecting the battery, adding oil (included) and gas it started right up with the push of a button. I ran it for 3 hours with no load on it and then changed the oil as I do with all my small engines. We live in NC and with a once every century hurricane happening every few years or so a generator has now become a necessity. I'm installing a transfer switch so I can plug this unit directly into the house.
