Would RecommendThis generator was the perfect solution for our events and has the ability to power all of equipment when supporting our Veterans and First Responders. The size is easy enough for me to load and unload myself and the ability to run off bottle propane allows for clean operations and easy loading and unloading from our vehicles.

What's the point of paying for dual fuel capability and enough wattage if it can't hold up to the pull? In addition, there are times when the equipment just will not start,...

Powerful and relatively compact, easy to use
Would RecommendI was able to purchase this generator on a discount that allowed we to acquire a more powerful generator than I originally intended and I'm glad to have more power. It will run my refrigerator and microwave with no problem in the event of a power failure, there are plenty of outlets and safety features. It is too heavy to lift alone, so think ahead about ramps.

What a purchase!!
