Great so far.
Would RecommendI have only started the generator and checked that everything works as advertised. It shows to be working properly and starts up on both propane and gas. What I like is it starts on the first pull but actually begins to start at half pull. Easy to start so far.

Easy to use, long run time.
Would RecommendEasy to use and start. no need to unplug everything before starting and stopping since there are two switches for power. One to start/ stop the engine and one that turns the power ports on and off. Uses gas or liquid propane. We used regular gas for a few days and a full tank at half load gave about 9-10 hours, which is what the package said it would. We switched to non ethanol and the same power load gave 12-13 hours. We haven't used propane so not sure what that would give.
