Remote start is a must!

I just purchased my first generator. The electric starter fired up on propane with the first press of the button. Excited to take to my job site.

30-amp receptacle didn't work.

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this unit in Aug 24. Had it stored until I needed it this spring May 26. The first time I tried to use it the generator started and ran but the 30-amp receptacle failed. Since it was out of labor warranty, I now have to spend money to get it fixed even though it's new never used.

Some initial startup problems but a good machine

To be honest, some first time startup problems. First pull on the starter cord and it jammed when retracting. Wasn't a terribly hard fix but had to remove the recoil assembly and shorten the cord by tying an extra knot in the end. Had to look at a YouTube video first. However, someone with no tools or experience might not have been able to do the fix. I bought it because it runs off of propane and I had hoped to not put gas in it at all and thus not worry about gas stabilizer or draining. H...
