Unfortunately, the unit arrived damaged, but I was able to contact the seller who provided me with directions to register and get it serviced at no charge. While the damage was more than likely from the handling of the shipper, the box and internal packaging didn't seem very robust for an item this heavy.
Bought it just due to fact it is dual fuel and 30 Amp RV ready. Installed battery after finding a nut and bolt for negative side and fired it right up.
Pretty good generator. Quiet and runs well. Only gripe is that the auto choke did not work out of box. Still need to have it fixed. Manually choked it to run.
Started up as soon as I put gas in it. The only thing wrong is where they put the PROPAINE LINE WHEN SHIPPING THE UNIT. I THOUGH IT WAS MISSING IN SHIPPING. BUT FOUND OUT IT WAS NOT. IT WAS PUT UP OUT OF SIGHT, WERE NO ONE IN THE RIGHT MIND LOOK IN THAT PLACE. (ON TOP OF THE MOTOR), DID NOT FIND OUT TILL I RAN THE MORTOR. When I turned off the motor it raddled, Then I found it, but it was too late. The plastic knob melted and can not use it. Plus the battery came loose in shipment. and was bouncing around in the carton. and the negative side of the battery post was cracked and the bolt was striped.
Ordered this on Monday morning, it arrived on Tuesday before I had a tracking number! Can't wait to fire this baby up. Did some research to find the features I wanted, read the reviews. Now it's up to the machine to do the rest, to be the best. Pretty excited to see how it does with my RV plugged into it.
I plug my 140 Lincoln welder and welded no problem!! It seems to be very fuel efficient and isn't terribly loud. Remote start is very nice. Ill be using it for a off grid cabin.
I normally stock on gasoline at the start of hurricane season and use the gas in the winter. Dual fuel let's me keep a year-round supply of propane on standby. Electric start is nice, especially if you use it often. I've had some trouble starting it but chalked it up to a weak battery. Worked ok with the pull cord.
