My new gen fits the bill for job site tool operation when electricity isn't yet available. It's sturdy and dependable. Reliable and having no problems. Made in USA drew me to this unit.
Ran great first day, but died on second day of use...maybe only 4 or 5 hours total use. I checked the oil and drained a little bit out, and eventually it restarted on day three, but not sure if it will start when I really need it. When it worked, it was really impressive and powered my electric chainsaw flawlessly for multiple hours. I'll give it a few more chances and decide whether or not to return it if the problems persist.
