Great Generator
By MGG
Colorado
Purchased 10/11/2023 |
Review Posted 11/08/2023
This generator is very well made and operation is straight forward simple. The overall design is compact and allows me (very petite in physical stature) to easily move it into position and start it up. This is just what I needed for survival backup and self sufficiency during times of power outages.

Tested Generator Today 5-3-2023

Review Posted 05/03/2023
Did final assemble today 5-3-2023. Generator ran great. Powered various electrical equipment. Easy to start. So happy with the ability to run on propane gas. No varnish build-up due to using gasoline and letting it set. Very happy with it so far in test phase. The real test will be when we need it due to power outages.

Review Posted 02/14/2023
While I do not care for all the cheap plastic switches etc. I had to limit my cost outlay. It worked immediately on Propane, but when I tried to turn it off using the switch, it did not shut off. I killed the propane source & then called the support team. There was a length of time before a human answered. However, she did tell me that - when on propane the only way to stop it running is to shut off the fuel supply valve & tank too. It started right up on gasoline. I only ran it a short time with a little gas as I did not want to leave gasoline in it. Good -so far!

Noise

Review Posted 11/14/2022
You need an add on muffler that reduces the noise. On a job site it's acceptable but not in a residential area.

Review Posted 10/10/2022
We bought this after hurricane, I don't know what I would have done without. We were without power for 11 days, just got it back yesterday. Setup in just a few minutes and powered everything I needed. We purchased this in Indiana and drove it to Florida. Hard to believe but it fit in the front seat of my Kia Optima.
