Good generator, poor packaging

Would Recommend

Really like this generator. Pros - Love the remote start. - Super easy to set up. Cons - Not clear how much oil to put in (had to look up online). -Packaging was not adequate. Frame was damaged. Too much of a pain and not really worth taking it back. Could be overly rough handling at the store as well.

Decent generator with remote start.

Would Recommend

Works as it it should. Remote start feature is rather nice, no chock to mess with, no pulling on a rope. Typical noise for a generator of this capacity, but who really cares when you have no power and need it. Ordered online and was delivered within a few days without any damage. So far, it's performing as expected without issue.

Wont stay running

Would Not Recommend

I bought generator 4 months ago and worked great. Now it has only 50 hours on it and it will start up just fine and maybe run 2 seconds and shut off or 5 minutes and shut off. Starts back up just fine but won’t stay running.

Power Protection Peace of Mind

Would Recommend

Easy setup. Hookup was straight forward. Freight packaging was secure delivering peace of mind that our generator arrived in perfect condition. We tested power strength capabilities on all our desired home utilities. No issues. We are confident that when power goes out next time we will be comfortable and all our appliances will be protected.
