Outstanding!
Bought this during the spring as a backup power source for my boat. It has recharged my batteries on several occasions, run things like shop vacs and power tools- and even a smaller sized microwave. Super reliable, quiet and very portable. Well designed and put together. I don't regret the purchase at all!

Excellent Engineering By All Appearances
Easy set up and startup. Small and compact. Excellent engineering by all appearances, but not used during power outage yet. Improvement tip: provide a place for oil funnell to be stored with the unit.

Smashing little generator!
I bought this generator to run my CPAP at night and a few lights while at Deer camp. It runs all night, is easy on gas and quite enough to sleep through. It's a winner?
