The neighbors would lose their minds
Would Not RecommendWe had no idea this generator would be so loud that it would drive our family (not to mention the neighbors) to their wits' end during a power outage. It was clear this generator would be aChris disaster. Even though we JUST hooked it up and tried it once, we can't return or exchange it at Lowe's because it's past the 48-hour window. Not a product we'd recommend unless you have earplugs that work really well. Disappointed.
it's been good
Would Not RecommendI bought this last yr it been good for what I've needed only thing us the factory battery is junk didn't even make it a yr and it was bad emailed fireman about it and got crickets this is my opinion but I feel like the first oil change should be done sooner then what they recommend
Dissatisfied
Would Not RecommendThis product used a lot of oil every day. There was not a puddle or even a drip of oil under the unit. It is very loud. The battery is working but has corrosion under it. The generator was run for 12 days. It also did not connect to the 30 Amp cord for my camper. I am very dissatisfied with this product and would not purchase another one.
