from Awendaw, SC
Right out of the box, I put oil in it, a gallon of gasoline, and it started right up. The remote also was pre-programmed and works also. Several items I think are noteworthy but not necessarily a criticism.
Oil filler is awkward to remove, whereas it is right in line with the battery cables. Secondly, it would have been useful to know exactly how much oil it took. It says in the manual, 1.1 (L). I do not believe that to be accurate.
The tires are not going to perform well on wet grass.
The manual states it should not be operated in the rain. Also, it says the generator should not be operated in an enclosure. Where do you think people are going to operate a generator in an emergency? I bought it for hurricane season, so I cannot leave it outside? Do I build a shelter for it? This is the one question I want an answer to.
I think overall I am going to be pleased with it. I am having an electrician wire in a transfer panel and by my own estimations, it will power my whole house. BEFORE I need it, I will certainly plug it in and just see what the capabilities are. Thank you.

We bought our generator on July 16 for our anniversary gift to each other. It was delivered a week later with no problem. Assembly was nothing and with a little oil and gas and about an hour of wiring into our home beaker panel we were up and running. Awesome machine ! We get so excited around hurricane season. We may never need it but we have it.

Great features. Easy to set up and use.

I decided to upgrade to a generator powerful enough to plug into a transfer switch to power my entire home. We've got a lot of large trees with power lines and we seem to lose power 3-4 to times per year. I really love the ability to use propane. It is clean, easy to connect and I never have to run the fuel out of the tank. Electronic start is a breeze to use. Highly recommend.
