Quality is Evident

In preparation for the use of this generator, we had a manual transfer switch installed on our home. With the hoses and the kit that comes with the generator, we were up and running in no time! After the initial break in period, we will test everything to see how it handles the load. I will update the review at that time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I like the way it is easy to maneuver. I can tuck it away in the garage and have it ready when I need it.

Runs our RV and charges electric car with no issue
on July 16, 2024
Posted by: 4KidsAndADogInTheRV
from South Carolina
This thing is so powerful. We are living in our RV while building a house and needed power until the county would give the temp elec permit. We had no experience with generators and wasn't sure what to get, but we knew we needed something to run our 30amp RV in the middle of a HOT southern summer, power the 1.5hp pump for our well, and charge our Nissan Leaf. (Oh the irony of using a gas generator to charge an electric car!)
This generator has done all that and keeps on ticking! We use the 50 amp plug for our RV (using a 30amp to 50amp cord), use the 30a plug for our well pump, and the 120v for our car. Occasionally you can hear the generator bog down, but it's never tripped the breaker.
It HAS shut off a few times on it's own, but now we understand its nuances, have adapted our behavior and have only had one actual issue (will detail later).
- The CO monitor is very sensitive, so make sure it has lots of air space.
- It shuts off if the oil is getting low. We've had to refill oil twice in the 2 straight weeks of use. So keep a eye on the level.

We use about 10 gallons of gas each day to keep it going about 22 hours/day. (We like to let it rest a couple hours if possible.) Going to have our propane hooked up to it by the gas company tomorrow.
It is loud. We have 12 acres of land and no one around us, so we don't feel awful about running it constantly. But it is annoying to have that constant hum in the background. We have it as far away from our RV as the RV extension cord will allow, and we've set up a few sound buffers between here and there to help drown out the sound. So it's not awful, but registers at 59dbl. We've also set up a shade tent over the generator to keep the sun from beating down on it. Not sure if that's needed, but it makes us feel better.
We just need about 2 more weeks of use out of it and then we can store it until needed as a backup generator for the house, should power fail in the future. But I definitely feel like it's been a great value and has been so reliable.
The one issue we've had: the electric start has already given out. It seemed a bit touchy from the get go, but was reliable once we figured out how to push it just right. However, the last couple of days, it just clicks when we push the button and doesn't start. We've had to start using the manual pull. I've seen a few cases online where a quick warranty claim was needed for the switch; looks like there may be known issues with it. Will add my claim to the list.
Overall, we've been extremely happy with this generator and would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Great choice of fuels

I purchased this unit because of the tri fuel choices and the features on the unit.
This unit was purchased in case of extended power outages because of tropical/hurricanes on the east coast.

I did a lot of research before selecting this generator as you all know it’s a capital purchase. Started up on first crunch and worked well so far. Cant wait to be in a need and have to crack her on fully! Manual was also very easy to follow
