Before I make a major purchasI I decide what my needs are. Then I go through my wants. I wait a few weeks and re-visit the the list. Then I start shopping. In this case I asked Co-Pilot what it thought the best self start, two fuel generator was. I compared all the prices. And, I bought it. It is to run my travel trailer. So, I hooked it the LP gas. I turned on the AC. You could tell it had some stain. But everything was fine. The next important thing was the microwave, follwed by the coffee pot. It pulled the load. I will revisit this in six months. If need to I will update the review. Right now, I am on my first trip with it. So, the jury is still out. But it looks like I got my money's worth, plus filled the needs and wants list.
This is a an excellent generator. It was easy to set up and its easy to operate. It is quiet. I like that you can use the remote to start it and operate off of gas or propane.
