Easy to set up, starts nicely with push button. Excellent balance between size and power. Small enough to move easily, runs the fridge and a few other things. About 7 hours on 1/2 tank (2 gallons) when running fridge and battery chargers.
We bought this before hurricane season and finally had to open it up in Oct. Easy to assemble, great manual. Oil us a little awkward to fill, but all tools were provided. We started with gasoline, but then switched to propane which was quieter. Had a little trouble with the electric start when we switched, but the pull rope got it going and from then on the electric start button worked. What a lifesaver. It ran refrigerator/freezer, induction single burner, lamp ,and big screen tv.
