Fired right up the first time. Easy to operate. Powers an a/c, microwave, fridge, and all lights at the same time in our 23 volt bumper pull camper. It's as loud as I would expect a generator to be. We'll see about longevity. Too early to tell.
ONE SUGGESTION; MOVE THE CROSS MEMBER 1" TOWARD THE END OR MORE SO OIL DOES NOT RUN DIRECTLY ONTO THE FRAME WHEN OIL IS CHANGED. IT IS INTENDED TO BE USED FOR POWER OUTAGES TO RUN LIGHTS, HEAT, AND WATER PUMP. MAY BE USED OCCASIONALLY FOR CAMPING. ATTRACTIVE GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL IS NICELY LAID OUT. HANDLE FOR MOVING IT AROUND IS A LITTLE OVER KNEE HIGH. GOOD LITTLE LIGHT WEIGHT MACHINE. I'LL RECOMMEND IT TO PEOPLE.
I bought this for backup power for my house essential items, Easily handles refrigerators, freezer, and basic lights. very pleased with this generator!
What I like: Love the remote and push-button start! Really impressed with the design - everything is well thought out and well made. Generator runs smooth once warmed up and auto-choke turns off. The included oil-fill spout (screws into oil inlet) is a nice accessory. Manual and operation instructions are very well written. What could be better: Manual choke lever is a bit small, somewhat tucked away and not easy to find first time especially in the dark. No information is provided for battery trickle charger that is included.
Only had it for a week , so far running good , I do like the toggle display , which prompts codes that are almost right on , like when oil is needed to be changed , gas cap is loose, only thing is I think the starter on the unit already froze , or a bad connection , I'm having to use the pull cord , which is not bad at all , an old lady can pull it to get it going , thumbs up for that ...!!!
I bought this item a few days ago it's easy to put together and it has a start button. Thank goodness no more pulling to start this Generator. Well constructed and very easy to move. As you get older you look for something easier to work/use.
