Cat needs to make registering the the Warranty easier. So complicated. I wasn't computer savy enough to get warranty registered.I would think hard about buying another cat generator.

Seems Like A Good Generator
By Helge P. 
Cooper City, Florida
Purchased 06/13/2017 | 
Review Posted 07/14/2017 
Generator was delivered right in to my garage and assembly was very easy following the instructions. After connecting battery, filling gas and lube oil the generator started on first attempt. I ran it for approx. 10 minutes without load and it ran good. The only negative I can say was the noise, it may keep the neighbors awake during a power outage. I have not tried to run the generator with load for an extensive time so I do not know how it will perform over time.
