Works perfectly
Would RecommendGetting a tent for it, they should really have one suggested on the box... *hint-hint* to Firman marketing... So expect ~$215 for that necessary add on, other than that, love it, solid purchase, jump on any sale.
Good generator package.
Would RecommendBought this generator after a storm took out the power. Worked great keeping our refrigerator and freezer going during the power outage. Great package with cord, cover and propane hose for flexible fuel options. Only issue so far is the plastic oil dipstick is difficult screw back in.
