Customers find the electricity generator easy to set up and start. They mention that the wheels and legs went on quickly with the included open end wrench.

Customers are mixed about the noise of the generator. Some mention that it's not too noisy, has a pleasant hum, and is mechanically sound.

Very reliable!!! Definitely recommend 4yrs later
5 Stars
Very reliable!!! Definitely recommend 4yrs later
So I bought this is 2019 after a bad storm losing power for days. Got a scratch and dent offer by Amazon Warehouse and seriously only the box was damaged... I've now put 240+ hrs on it though I have only used the electric outlets so far and it's a damn champ... I messed up the pulley recoil start (my bad) but the battery start has yet to fail and even with 'older' non stable gas this thing has got me through. It got a workout(for me) this week with the Maine 2023 Grinch Storm it started no issues. I can't say for sure legally but I believe it doesn't emit as much carbon monoxide as some reports show in general (my news said 100 idling cars?!!) Yeah no not this one, it was in my barn with the exhaust out the door.. the location i had to keep it in wasnt ideal but 2 monitors read 0. I had a monitor in my lower barn with my farm animals and one near my interior house door where the extension cord went through... neither Kidde monitors registered ANY manoxide but I ran it only for a few hours a time... I will say... Its NOT quiet... No experience with other generators so I don't know how comparable it is(especially when properly placed out doors *how do people do that 20'???*) Moves ok.. it's not light but with the wheels and bar it's ok, I broke my foot and you can manage this on a hard flat surface ok.Overall impression: worth it's weight in gold...

5.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of power and ELECTRIC START!
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2023
Recently bought this generator to replace my old underpowered unit. The unit had some shipping damage (cosmetic) which was quickly resolved with Amazon. Some assembly required (easy) and the unit fired right off after adding oil and gas. Though heavy (193 lbs), the unit pulls easily and qualifies as portable (not for an RV though).

Would I buy again? Yes! Best value for the money and does everything as advertised. The owners manual is even worth keeping.
