I bought this ad an early Christmas gift for my husband fir his deer lease. February 14 a major winter storm hit Texas. Outsourcing power was turn of and back on every few others for 2 days. This generator was so easy to move in and out of our house fir use. Started right up each time with the touch of a button. It was really noisy at all either.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Brought this a month ago and so glad I did since our area had major snow and ice storms, was brought Just in time. Did its job wonderfully
We used this generator for the first time during the recent TX arctic freeze. We lost power for 4 days. While I did not have a transfer switch, I was able to run 2 heavy duty 12 gauge wires into the house from the built in 20 amp receptacle. I was able to power my TV, fridge, PC, sound system, several lights, small space heater & a vacuum whenever necessary. I never heard the generator bog down, absolutely no starting problems even after sitting in the freezing temps in my garage. My sensitive electronics had no issue running, though I did run the power from the gen to my devices through a good quality surge protector.
Only downside I can think of was that it was rather noisy but then again my entire neighborhood was noisy with generators running, so I suppose that is the nature of the beast. If you are contemplating buying a generator because you have never owned one before, please buy it. This thing paid for itself when it ran 4 days straight & powered the essentials in my home.
Bought this generator a few months back as part of an earthquake preparedness plan. It sat in the box until the recent polar plunge when I lost power for three days. I was able to unpack it and get it running in 20 minutes!! It worked like a champ and I was surprised with how little fuel it used.
The electric start does not work but that could be because I need to charge the battery separately. (No instructions in the manual regarding that.) However, the manual start works perfectly. So no complaints.
