So far I am largely impressed, but things to note
on September 3, 2025

I bought this generator after deliberating long and hard. It was a tough purchase because it is a lot of money for something just used in the event of a hurricane. That said, so far I am pretty impressed, but there are a couple of items that should be brought up.
The generator is built quite nice. It is definitely VERY heavy, but I feel like there was some thought and effort on the product. I like the covers on each side and how they latch. I really like how the oil drain was connected to a hose, as well as the carb gas drain (the gas drain was particularly nice). I really like all of the information provided on the panel, including the fuel level which is really nice.
Some of the things that were disappointing considering the positives:
1. There is an oil filter on this unit. It is in the exact same place as the DFc model however there is some sort of big cylinder directly in the way in front of it. I am not sure what this is, but the DFc doesn't seem to have it from the videos I have seen, so I assume it has to do with the Natural Gas part of the unit. It is a little bit of a pain to remove as it requires a 10mm wrench and has limited movement. On such a well thought out generator, this seems to be a rushed item and makes the access to the filter a bit inconvenient.
2. This generator wasn't cheap but came with quite a bit of stuff. The one thing that it didn't come with that I was disappointed about was a cover. This was a HUGE miss. I plan on storing this in my garage and I am going to have to buy my own cover now.
3. It would be nice if the dipstick was magnetic to help keep the engine oil as clean as possible
4. The eco mode barely changes the idle speed at all (it may not even change it at all). I don't know what this switch does at this point as I expected a serious reduction in RPMs to help save gas (I was testing this with no load at all).

It seems to be a very good generator. I just finished my 5 hour break-in period and changed the oil. Despite the disappointments above, I am hoping that overall it will prove itself to be a great unit.

I bought this unit recently and have been impressed. It's much quieter than I expected and has worked out really well. The unit has all the features I need. I'm using this as a back generator for my home. However, I have found it easy to pull around and use around my property as well. It weighs 98 lbs so it's not one you're just going to carry around but the pull out handle and wheels make it easy.

So far, so good

Had this for around a month and a half and it's working well so far. Initially, it would take a few tries to start, but after a few hours, it will start on first attempt. I do wish that it would maintain output a bit longer before idling down. I was using a welder with it, and it would bog the welder down for a second until it throttled up. The handle rattles a tiny bit as well, but not too bad.

The generator started immediately and was very quiet. I was concerned since the travel trailer i need the genset for is parked in a RV park that is noise sensitive. Very happy to hear, or should i say not hear, the unit running from inside the RV.
