  • So far so good after some initial issues. UPDATE: This generator works perfectly!
Style: 4,850-Watt Dual Fuel
With many good reviews I thought I'd give this generator a try instead of using the clunky, old, heavy, fuel-leaking, pull-start one I've had. This new generator is so much lighter, more maneuverable, far easier to start, and uses FAR less fuel than my old one. I love the push button start that makes it so much easier to use. However, while the instructions are mostly good, they leave out some critical information that caused me problems as I tried to figure this thing out. First, the choke: The manual says to push the choke lever to the left to start and then push back to the right after starting. Ok, BUT, there are TWO positions for the choke lever to the right with no guidance on which position to shift to! I tried the middle position and later found out this was wrong and that you should push the choke fully to the right as far as it goes. JUST SAY THIS IN THE INSTRUCTIONS! Then, when I contacted Tech Support by email (since getting anyone by phone was impossible), they simply sent me a copy of the same manual I already had with no clarification on what I was asking about. Second: Break in period: There is NOTHING in the manual that mentions or describes any type of break in period. Yet, after reading another review on Amazon that mentioned a 5-hour break in, I contacted Tech Support, who again sent me the same manual saying that it's described inside, which it is NOT! They did say in the email that I should run it for 5 hours at a max 50% load and then change the oil. NONE OF THIS IS MENTIONED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS! But luckily I found this out and did it, although some of the break in was done with the choke in the wrong position. Third: Oil change instructions are unclear but after finally figuring out where the oil drain plug is it's in a ridiculous position that requires gymnastic moves to be able to change the oil! Instructions say that the oil drain plug is under the oil fill cap....but there are TWO bolts under the fill cap and nothing shows or describes which one is the drain plug! To help you out, it is the bolt directly under and a couple inches to the left of the oil fill cap, NOT the bolt under and to the right of the fill cap around the corner of the silver metal box. Another way to be sure, it's the bolt directly above the metal bar/frame that holds the two wheels. But, by being in this position, it means the oil drains all over the frame and makes a mess. I got it done but it was far more difficult than it should ever have to be. Overall, I'm liking my new generator and hope it will last but I had to endure more frustration than I'd like simply because the instructions do not provide enough detail and clarity and it's impossible to get anyone to answer a phone call. UPDATE: While all the above remains true, I owe an update after we just went through a "bomb cyclone" that knocked out power for 6 days at my house. Thus, I put this generator to the test and it excelled in all ways! First, it's easy to use, easy to move, and the dual fuel option saved me. In trying to clean the fuel bowl I had messed up the O-ring which then caused a fuel leak. I was able to easily shift to using a propane tank for the first time and it worked perfectly. I replaced the O-ring and had no more fuel leak and then used the generator for about 10 hours/day over 6 days. It's so nice to have an easy, push-button start, it's quieter than my neighbor's generators, and I was also able to roll it out to my pumphouse to hook it up to my 240 volt well pump to refill the water tank and my house that had run out of water. This made it easy to switch from 120 to 240 volt with the flip of a switch. So, after this 6 day long test I was very thankful I'd made this purchase and highly recommend it to others. Now, I've got the change the oil, which will be messy as I mention above, but I'll live with that in order to have an easy to use, easy to move, dual-fuel, reliable generator. ... show more

  • Incredible value for a powerful and reliable generator
Style: 10,000-Watt Gas
We bought this generator about two years ago, after Hurricane Sandy tore through our area and left us without power for 2 weeks. That had actually been the 3rd time in about 12 months that we had no power for a week or more. We had gotten our hands on a small generator sometime in the middle of those ordeals, but after Sandy the wife said "get the biggest one you can find!" Like others, I was a bit skeptical about this generator for a few reasons... the lesser-known brand (at least to me), the foreign origin, and simply - it seemed too inexpensive to be as good as it claimed! Boy am I glad that I put aside those concerns and just ordered it. At the time we ordered it, the price was about $1100 - still well worth it in my opinion. It came via freight and the delivery company was very accommodating about working out a delivery time with us. It was very well packed. This is one seriously heavy item, but as long as you have a little space, you can wiggle it around to get it unpacked by yourself. I know a few other reviewers had theirs ship with a dead battery, but mine was ok. It was a little tricky to hook up actually, but I eventually got it connected. It comes with the feet and wheels separate, so you need to install them yourself. It's pretty easy, but a socket wrench set or racheting wrench set will come in handy. Mine appeared to be empty so I added oil before using it. There was no sign of any leaked oil inside the package like some others have reported. To turn on the generator, you open the fuel valve, pull the choke, and turn the key. It's really pretty easy. There is also a pull starter if you are having battery issues. Once you turn it on, there's a circuit breaker to control whether the outlets are live or not. Our electrician advised me to connect the generator to the house first, then turn on the circuit breaker on the generator, then gradually turn on breakers inside the house after flipping the transfer switch to slowly ramp up the load. There is also an idle control switch - which looks like it was re-labelled "auto throttle" in the pictures here. It basically causes the generator to idle at a much lower (and quieter) speed when you turn it on. It's good for testing and other times when you don't need the noise. There is a pretty big variety of outlets on the panel too - 50A, two different 30A, and two 20A. There is also DC12v available. We use the 50A now when we hook it up to the house, but before we had the transfer switch installed we got plenty of juice out of the 20A with a few long extension cords. With the 50A connection to our panel via a transfer switch, our electrician told us "this will pretty much run everything in your house". And it does - it'll run all the lights, TV's, computers, 2 fridges, microwave, coffee maker and yes - even the central air. Just for full disclosure - we have a gas stove, and I haven't had the nerve to run the washer/dryer on generator power. Also - we've not had to use it during a real heatwave yet, so I suppose the load from the AC was never at its peak. Still, there is no shortage of power coming out of this unit. Plus - I was surprised when I realized that this unit is considerably quieter than our previous much smaller generator! Don't get me wrong, it's still loud - they all are - but not the kind of loud I expected from something outputting this much power. Two years later, it still runs great - starts every time with just a quick turn of the key, even after a long stretch. I try to make it a point to start it every few months to cycle out any old gas, and keep things loose. Once I ran it in the back yard for a few hours just to power my mitre saw and table saw while I built a small shed - it didn't even blink. I also found that under a medium load, it gets a very decent runtime out of a single tank of gas - in some cases up to 10 hours or more. Hopefully this helps your decision if you're at all hesitant to try this brand. If what you want is a spectacular value for a very powerful portable generator, this absolutely fits the bill. I ordered the same unit for my in-laws who live across town and their experience has been just as good. ... show more
