I recently purchased this generator to power any electronics in my home ex: sump pump, freezers, etc in the event our electricity goes out- which is quite frequently. We have not used the generator as of yet, but everything seems to be working properly.
There's a lot to like about this design ... electric start with a key-fob (along with an automatic choke on the engine); dual fuel, so a propane tank is an easy back-up; wheels and a folding handle ... pretty easy to move; a gas cut-off switch ... I like this because you don't have to drain the gas tank to run the carburetor dry. Also includes tools, engine oil, and all the hookup hoses for propane. There's also an oil fill-tube that is threaded. You screw it into the engine port and don't spill a drop of oil.
Like I said, there's a lot to like about this design.
Bought this generator to be prepared for hurricane season. Fired it up and it started right away and so far is running quite well. Much quieter than my old generator so that's an added bonus. Will update once we get into hurricane season but hopefully won't need it.
I did not have any issues with this generator, from the simple unpacking, putting the few items together, on up to starting it on first try! The instructions are top-notch - clear and concise and hard to make any mistakes. The electric start is simply the best, as i'm getting too old to be pulling the cord a dozen or more times which i had to do with my old one. I am glad i purchased it. I have not tried using LP yet, but I'm sure it will come in handy someday soon. I would highly recommend this product!
I purchased the generator to be able to power saws and other power tools to work on my new house before permanent power was connected. This generator fit the bill! It is well built, the dual fuel is useful, no fumes using propane and transporting the generator in my SUV.
