Simple to use
Would RecommendHaven't had much opportunity to really use the generator yet but seemed to work just fine the brief time it was used. Assembled easily enough and started on the 2nd pull out of the box. Haven't tried the propane option but nice to know it's there. Send like a sturdy little unit.

Disposable product
Would Not RecommendCustomer service recommends disposing of this unit if it requires a repair because they do not sell the necessary parts for repairs. Completely unacceptable.

Perfect size and more than enough power
Would RecommendThis generator was the perfect solution for our events and has the ability to power all of equipment when supporting our Veterans and First Responders. The size is easy enough for me to load and unload myself and the ability to run off bottle propane allows for clean operations and easy loading and unloading from our vehicles.

Plan to get an adapter for your RV.
Would RecommendThere was a little work to put the wheels on, etc., but overall really appreciate that this came with its own oil and wheel kit.
