  • Fired up and just worked out of the box. Very efficent and powerful.
Style: 5000 Watts - Dual Fuel - Remote Start
I used this with a Reliance Controls Pro/Tran 30-Amp 6-Circuit transfer switch. I converted the TT-30P on the unit with a NEMA TT-30P to L14-30R RV Generator Adapter,30 Amp 3 Prong to 4 Prong Adapter. I understood I would only be hooking up 120 volt circuits and did not have need for 240. Given the size of the unit, it felt adequately powerful and efficient. I left eco off and it fired right up on first start on propane with remote start fob (which was already paired). I started with one switch moved to generator from line and tested if it it could tote my Frigidaire FHPC082AC1 portable air conditioner and gaming PC which it didn't even break a sweat on. I flipped a couple more rooms on, another computer, tv, some lights, and barely hit 25% at times when the AC did the inrush of current to engage the compressor and it dropped back down. I kept it under 1.5 kVA and ran it for an hour alternating the loads (supposed to not exceed half capacity for the first five hours). It ran like a top, and I look forward to using the generator again. Very satisfied. performance, and ease of use of the electricity generator. They mention it's super quiet, performs fantastically, and is easy to unpack and set up. Some appreciate that it starts up right away, is easy to carry, and puts out plenty of power. They also mention the remote start is a great feature and appreciate the build quality. ... show more

  • Remote start is awesome!
Style: 5000 Watts - Dual Fuel - Remote Start
I bought this for our new camper and it is exactly what we needed. I haven’t tried it with propane yet but with gas this generator is amazing. Powerful enough to run everything on the camper. Quiet enough so it is not bothersome to have it on when you are outside. The battery that came with it from the factory was bad but Amazon made it right. Now the remote start works flawlessly. No more needing to leave the camper on a cold morning to start the generator for coffee. It is a little heavy if you’re lifting it in to the back of a truck. Easy with two people though. The handle makes it very easy to maneuver when it’s on the ground. We are very happy with our purchase so far. ... show more

  • So Quiet - Perfect for camping in those no power zones at your favorite camping spot.
Style: 5000 Watts - Dual Fuel - Remote Start
The media could not be loaded. Purchased this generator to take camping at our favorite KOA but the only spots left for Halloween were the ones with no power hook-ups. All I can say is that I'm super impressed by this generator. Super quite! I even had a neighbor come by and comment on how quite it is and he mentioned he also wanted to buy one. While camping, I had a group of my friends come by my campsite to go Mtn bike riding, and they all mentioned similar sentiments in terms of how quite this thing is. You can site there and talk to your friends and family with it running just a few feet away and it's not going to force you to talk loud or yell to interact with people around you. You can just talk at a normal volume and people can hear you just fine. That's impressive to me because I'm not a loud talker in general. I tend to be more laidback and talk at a lower tone. So, people being able to hear me over the generator is really awesome and impressive. I highly recommend this generator for the following reasons. 1. Super quite 2. Duel Fuel - lets you use propane over gas which doesn't have that gas exhaust smell and easier to burnoff the residual gas when shutting it down 3. Easy to start - This model has the remote start which makes it perfect for those cold mornings when stepping out of the trailer is not ideal. Or shutting it down at night when you're already in the trailer with your shoes off. Also, the button on the generator is just as easy. You push it once and it turns over until it starts. No messing with choke and all that give. 4. Weight - The generator is fairly lightweight for what it is. I was able to pick it up and put it in my truck without help. However, it did have an empty gas tank as I used with propane and not gasoline. 5. Fuel economy - I ran the generator from 6am to 10pm at night at a low to medium load on one tank of propane. 16 hrs of running my 30ft trailer with two refrigerators, coffee maker, TVs, lights, and fans. Only time the RPMs came up was when I used the Keurig type coffee maker in the morning. 6. Easy to move - With the retractable handle and wheels this thing is super easy to move around the campsite, even if it's all dirt. The only thing I'd want people to be mindful of is adding the oil when you set it up for the first time. My unit had a good amount of oil in it from the factory already so when I dumped the provided oil in with the included oil funnel I over filled it. IF... I would have read the instructions I would have noticed the comments saying "Don't overfill" the unit may have some oil in it already. Pour a little at a time until you can see it at the opening of the oil fill hole. Don't get all excited like I did and just pour the whole thing of oil as fast as you can. Hopefully I save a few of you the pain of cleaning oil off your garage floor or driveway. Other good option would be to drain the leftover factory oil out the drain and refill with the provided oil. ... show more

  • Quiet and overall all well designed
Style: 5000 Watts - Gas Only - Remote Start
Just got this thing today and currently going through the break-in period. First thing I wanted to do is make sure I could maintain it. That spark plug was torqued ridiculously high to the point that I was actually bending the included tool but I eventually got it out with the right tools and made sure not to overtighten. The oil drain bolt is in a really cramped place. Getting it out and draining the oil is reasonable enough but getting that darn bolt back in is some next level effort. I recommend small children or Lilliputians. Once the bolt is in the threads it's pretty easy. It took me longer to get the darn thing on then it did to take it out and drain the oil. 10 minutes to drain 20 to get the bolt back on. Make sure you have a universal drive adapter for both the spark plug and oil drain plug. The tools they give you won't cut it. Meh, enough with the cons. It's really quiet insofar as generators go. The remote start worked the very first time. The handle makes it easy enough to move around. There's a circuit breaker for both the 30 amp and 20 amp circuits. There is a cool digital display that has great info. They give you an oil funnel that screws into where the dipstick goes which makes adding oil a breeze. Overall I'm quite pleased. I would give it 5-stars except for that darn drain plug.... ... show more

  • Quiet, compact, easy to use.
Style: 5000 Watts - Dual Fuel - Remote Start
Straight out of the box, added oil and connected propane. Worked on the first push of the button. Feels like good quality and worked well during the 5 hour break-in period at less than 50% load. Only downside, so far, is the oil change compartment is a bit small for those with larger hands. I've seen online that people will either add an aftermarket oil drain hose, or just take the whole side panel off. Still need to test with higher loads, but pretty happy with the purchase so far. ... show more
