I have not needed to use this generator yet.I purchased this for the "just in case" when the power goes out. I bought this one because it looked like it had a lot good features and the cost was good. I wanted to get one with electric start but because of the additional weight bought the lighter model which was still very heavy to move while transporting in the box.
With severe weather more common these days, decided to purchase a generator for back up power, especially in the cold climate. We've had the generator a short time, but so far it has lived up to our expectations. Easy to assemble, easy to operate and move from place to place.
