Bought this during the big Puget Sound outage of November. It only ran for a day before power came back, but I'm glad to have bought it. I love that it can use propane, so I don't have to deal with gas storage and carburetor cleanup over time, and it's very compact and relatively quiet. It is quite heavy though, but the wheels and carry handle help.
However, for 5 starts it would have to be perfect, and this has some missed opportunities. Adding oil in the beginning was an absolute pain, the oil cap is buried at the bottom, and the funnel provided is minuscule. A cheaper 2000watt generator from a diff brand had a much longer and easier funnel. How hard would be to put the oil cap and dipstick somewhere at the top? And I found the remote start/stop pretty pointless - what I really need, is a remote control to turn the eco mode on/off, for when I need to start some big honkin' motor, like a portable AC/heatpump or dehumidifier. These will overload the generator in eco mode. And you do want to have it in eco mode most of the times, it's thristy :)

Otherwise highly recommended. I was eyeing this for a long time, wish I had bought it during some previous shorter outages, instead of half way through a 5 days one. If you are like me, and still on the fence whether to buy one or not, you now know what to do...

First impression

The access points for the battery and oil are definitely made for people with small hands. Scratched my fingers all up getting the pre-starting things done.
The large access panel feels flimsy because the mounting points are just that, two pieces of flimsy plastic. There is a tab near the top corner that's definitely gonna get broken off during the first few times removing it.
The rubber covers for the outlets and other ports seem like they'll do a good job keeping things dry/clean.
The funnel that came with it is a joke.
Hoping I can find an upgraded replacement for it. It's too rigid and the opening at the top of the funnel is too small and will very likely cause you to spill a fee times before you figure out that you have to pour at a glacially slow pace.

Tried the pull start, single pull to get it going. It was a bit warmed up though, a cold start might be different.
Overall, I wish I'd grabbed an open frame version. I'm not look forward to doing ANY of the maintenance through those inadequate little openings. I couldn't find a duel fuel at the right size though. Maybe I shoulda tried another brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Quiet and full of features. Started right up with no issues. Very quiet, and digital display makes it really easy to read. Instructions are clear and concise
