Solid Generator with Some Annoying Issues
on September 7, 2021
Posted by: Osquito
from Manton, CA
I bought this in anticipation of the public safety power shut-offs in California this summer and fall. We had a couple of them and it has worked well so far. There is a design flaw in the placement of the bolt to drain the oil. The bolt is only a couple inches off the ground so that to change the oil I had to put it up on cinderblocks in order to get a pan underneath it. I had to watch a guy on YouTube to figure that out. Additionally, the oil drainage bolt has a metal brace just underneath so you cannot easily put a funnel directly under it and you're all but guaranteed to spill oil on the ground. Bad design.
The manual also has outdated photographs in it so the instructions for hooking up the battery show a completely different configuration. Outdated photos and graphics appear pretty regularly creating unnecessary stress when trying to set it up the first time.
One additional con is that the remote start only works with gas, but not with propane. You won't learn that until you read the manual.
Other than those things, I've enjoyed the generator and it seems solidly made. If I had to do it all over again I would have bought one with more standard outlets rather than just two. I run extension cords and it is annoying see those other outlets sitting there unused and recognizing that I am not taking advantage of all the power that the generator has to offer. But that was my mistake.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

HURRICANE IDA LIFELINE
on September 7, 2021
Posted by: Louisiana Lady
from Ponchatoula, Louisiana
Bought this about a month ago, and was delivered 2 wks before Ida came ashore in Louisiana. No power, no water (well water), and a flooded house. I'm 62 yr old widow with a bad shoulder, no way I could have pulled started a generator. Works great, as we 're on day 7 of running it (had to wait for the water to clear off the patio/driveway) let it cool down between fillups, check the oil, then it starts right up again. I only wish I had gotten a larger one that could run everything but the A/C and stove. Love my generator! Thank you for masking my life easier

Perfect for my Hurricane needs
on September 6, 2021
Posted by: Cat5Destruction
from Louisiana
I live in south Louisiana so having a generator is a must to get through hurricane season. This is the perfect size to run my fridge/freezer, a window ax unit, WiFi, TVs and fans. Starts up with no issues and can be transported around easy.

Great Generator
on September 5, 2021
Posted by: Amer
from California
I bought this generator and it arrived early. we got it all set up and fired it up. It runs great and is very quiet compared to our old generator. It seems to start very quickly and runs smoothly even when hooked put to the refrig and freezer. I am very happy with the purchase I made.
