Very solid machine and it is every thing they say it can do. Set up was very easy but the little funnel to place the oil in the generator could be about 4 inches longer. Once all the steps to start up the generator were completed it started right up. I read a lot of reviews of this and other generators and this one lives up to all them.
This is my second generator, a must for anyone living in a hurricane prone area. This model is an electric start which is like heaven. Trying to start a generator from a pull rope isn't easy especially when you are a little older like me. We removed it from the box, added oil and gas and started it. It started the first time!! Super easy. Hope I don't need it this hurricane season but I feel much better knowing that I have it.
purchased for standby power {hurricane season}. arrived in good condition. assembly was moderately difficult for one person, but with a lever and some 2x4s for supports, wheels and feet went on without any problems. lightly greased the axles and a few drops of oil to the bearings.....and good to go. filled with oil, checked plug gap, attached both battery cables and tried to pull-start. no go!!! tried electric start..still no go!!! female voice says," is there gas in it?" now, it starts easily and runs well !! a good value!!
Just purchased yesterday. Installation and set up simple. Would have liked to know oil capacity, but did pour and check. I'm guessing it was 28-30 oz. Poured minimal gas to start, second pull did the trick. So far, so good.
