5 stars even though the genny wouldn't start at first. Then it occurred to me the shipper transported the unit on its side, and perhaps the carburetor float valve may be stuck closed - no fault of the unit (you aren't supposed to tip these on their sides, even without oil & gas.) I gave the unit a gentle bump and it started right up! The automatic choke worked fine, and on this 40-degree day it settled down after a minute to run smooth. I purchased this for the electric start since I'm a disabled senior and no longer could handle my old pull-start genny which had become difficult to start. I can rest easy now as we are heading into the winter storm season here on the shores of Lake Erie.
I was hesitant of buying this but after looking at all the reviews I decided to go for it. I have tried it out and I’m im glad I got it. Really easy to use and works great.
I purchased this unit last week and had an immediate need for it due to power loss! It performed flawlessly in what I needed it to do. It provided the necessary power to run my wife's oxygen concentrator and the frig, along with a tv and the internet! I would highly recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for portable power!
Just now breaking the generator in, so I have limited user experience with it at this point, but so far it seems like a well built and well engineered piece of equipment. After reading the manual thoroughly, the machine fired up using the fob immediately. Not even sure it made a full rotation before the piston fired. Volume is expected if not a little quieter than others this size I’ve used in the past.
