I've only had the generator for a short while, but so far it seems good. It started right up (after I filled it with oil and hooked it to a propane tank!) and it was reasonably quiet. The only thing that I don't like is that the indicator light, that lights when the main power button is turned on, stays on all the time. If you shut the unit off with the fob, it will drain the battery overnight which negates the usefulness of having a remote fob. Other than that, it appears to be a good, solid generator.
This is my first generator. I purchased this in case of power outages caused by S.C.E turning off my power when the Santa Ana winds start blowing and fires erupt and of course always expecting the big Earthquake that is way overdue here is Southern CA. Wow!! What a terrific generator! So easy to use. Not joking, I cannot say enough good things about this generator!
Anytime I buy anything that supposedly has an east start option, I am usually disappointed. However, this time after I prepared the generator for its virgin start, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that the push button start actually worked the first time. If it doesn't start the first go around, it automatically tries again. I went a step further and wanted to see if I could be so lucky as to have the remote start work. It actually worked, so that was a huge bonus. I am so happy for the dual fuel option because I am not a big fan of using gasoline, especially when I do not use the generator frequently.
