Excited to use for camping

We haven’t gotten to use it for camping yet, but so far just starting it up at home it works great. It's definitely more quiet than our old one.

like the 240 supply and the duel fuel

i like this gen. quality looks good and easy to move around. shipping was a little rough,form forklift handling. snap hinge on filter was broke, but can live with that.

Peace of mind

Haven't had to use it in a real emergency yet but the one test run I've done it powered a oscillating fan and heat lamp for a good bit. I expect many years of service so long as I can maintain it!

Good generator- does the job

Was missing a seal for the propane hose. It runs everything I need to. Took a little bit to pull start the first few times

Great features!! Very reliable generator

Would Recommend

Super good generator for the price. The duel starting option is a major plus. Starts right up every time. Having the electric start is great when you have a bum shoulder like myself. It is easily moved about with the built in handle. The sound when running is not bad at all. Bought this generator as an extra to run my husband's oxygen concentrator. Would highly recommend this generator.
