Surprisingly pleased

I purchased this to provide reliable power during extended power outages.
When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised to find quality documentation of a quality that is all to scarce nowadays.
There is a maintenance schedule that is clear and to the point. A well-illustrated replacement parts list that is thorough and clear. And a user manual that is very well written.
The material is given in English, Spanish, and French. While I cannot speak to the French, both the English and Spanish sections are written by someone with a firm command of the languages, without the awkward phraseology that accompanies instructions written by one with a poor command of the language.
Setup instructions were clear, and easily followed. The packing materials provided protection to the generator when it had to be turned on its side to attach the feet and wheels - a simple task given the tools are also provided.
A funnel to allow one to add oil without spilling it is provided. It is adequate, but could be an inch or two longer for ease of use.
After adding fuel per instructions and connecting the battery, the generator fired right up. A pull-start option ensures that in the event the battery has lost its charge one may still start the generator.
The information panel is simple to understand and is thoroughly explained in the User Manual.
Overall, this shows the signs of a well-thought-out and well-executed package, designed for quality and reliability.

Very impressive generator. Lots of flexibility for use. Provided plenty of emergent power for a week long outage in Texas heat. Will use with my travel trailer in the future.

What we were looking for

We bought this to use when our power goes out. We were looking for a generator that was reasonably priced and had 240v outlet to run our well pump. It came in a prompt manner.

Good looking generator with nice features

Just got it in, only 4 days after I ordered it. It has a good looking finish and I like the way it looks. It started on the second pull and I didn’t use the choke! It comes almost completely together out of the box, just need to install the wheels and feet, and add the oil which is included. It is not too loud, and I like that the handle folds down out of the way. It’s a little smaller in dimensions than my older Generac, which I now gave to my youngest son. (I have no complaints about the old one, I hadn’t ran it since Hurricane Ida 2.5 years ago, and it started on the first pull, again! And I purchased it about 35 years ago) I just wanted to update with a new generator and I think I will be satisfied with this one!
This one feels a little lighter than the other one also. ( I am not as old as I used to be!)
I really like that it has a power breaker switch that shuts off the power to the receptacles even while the engine is running.
It also has a switch that allows you to switch from 220v to 120v.
We are not looking forward to another power outage, but at least we feel better about having a new power supply!
