Would RecommendWhy would you make the dipstick out of shiny yellow plastic? It was a terrible idea by the way. That was my only complaint, generator runs awesome.

Junk
Would Not RecommendOwned for less then a month and have had several parts break on this generator, I do not get the voltage output that this is rated for. and due to lowes return policy on generators once it's opened and ran even once you can't return it. so now I'm stuck with a generator that doesn't do the job I needed it for.

A friend who is very knowledgeable about small engines assisted me in getting it out of the box and getting it ready to use. We followed all of the instructions exactly, but it would not start. There was confusion about what was the on and off position of the start switch as it was shown in different positions in the directions. I took it back to the store to see if they ...
