Good Small Quiet Generator
By Fred V.
Milford, Connecticut
Purchased 07/13/2020 |
Review Posted 08/06/2020
The only issue do far with this unit is adding oil. Alter adding the container supplied with the unit oil ran out the oil fill, cresting a mess. After cleaning it up and dumping out some oil I checked with the dip stick. There should have been quite a bit of oil in the unit but there was no reading on the dipstick. After adding a bit more I still had no reading. Then after adding a bit more oil it read too much. So the diagnosis is it is very difficult to add oil by using the dipstick to check it. It might be best to just dump out all the oil and measure out Into container the required amount and then fill the unit.

Review Posted 07/17/2020
Typical Cat, high quality, rugged, reliable. Easy to operate and maintain. Comes with tools, oil, filler funnel. 12v cable.
Only downside is requires unleaded gasoline...can be hard to find these days.

Really Nice
By Richard W.
MONROE, New York
Purchased 05/23/2019 |
Review Posted 06/24/2019
Great little genny. Comparable quality to Big Red at a really nice price. Light. Quiet. Easy starting. Nice looking.
Run all night gas capacity. Available 3 year warranty. Daisy chain-able with CAT's Parallel Cable kit.Seems very nicely built.
Only thing I would add is a petcock to stop worrying about ethanol fouled carbs, but I just run non-ethanol fuel, and/or run 'em dry. Very happy with this product.
