"Excellent inverter generator. It starts quickly, runs very quietly, and uses very little fuel. I used it to power several devices, and it maintained a stable current at all times. Very practical for emergencies, camping trips, or work. Its quality and performance are totally worth it."

I was impressed by the smaller 4000 watt PowerSmart open frame that I own but desired a 240 volt outlet and push button start. This unit is a solid good value choice. Fired right up. It's noise level is acceptable. Especially running in Eco mode

Excellent generator. It starts easily, runs smoothly, and is relatively quiet for its power. I’ve used it for several appliances without any issues. Great value for the money.”

Upon opening the package, we were met with a strong fuel odor. Touching the item also "contaminated" one's hands. We thought it might be from manufacturer test running it. After airing out several days and weather-permitting, brand new canister of premixed 50:1 ethanol-free 92 octane fuel was poured into the tank. Generator wouldn't start following the startup process in the manual. Bottom of the carburetor became dripping wet. Possibly a stuck carburetor needle. Took off air filter cover. Noticed a crack around where carburetor was attached to the chassis and a flange nut (8 on parts list) was loose. Tapped the carburetor few times. Aired out both the cylinder and spark plug for a several days. Spark plug gapped at 0.6mm, narrower than indicated in the manual. Re-gapped it. Tried to start it again. This time carburetor stayed dry but still wouldn't start. Put in a new saprk plug. No luck. Pull cord was getting worn out by all the pulling. Started the return process.

First off, I have several (4) of these and use them in my handyman trailers. They’re great for a small compact generator. It’s rated at 4400 watts and does just that. I can run my pancake compressor, mitre saw a table saw without an overload condition. My recent one just hit 150 hours and my oldest, a 3 year old unit has 1500 hours on it. The only maintenance I’ve had to do is oil changes and I swapped out the spark plugs to NGK’s and noticed a running difference. The biggest downfall for these is noise under medium to heavy load. They scream pretty loud and the second complaint is fuel use. Under heavy load, you’ll only get 3.5-4 hours on a tank of fuel. These are ideal for construction, general use and certainly good for emergency outages. Do yourself a favor and drain them of fuel if your going to leave them sit for any length of time.

The unit is built to handle demanding devices and can run rapidly charge laptops, power tools, and other high drain gear. It is well suited for short duration power needs.

Weighs about 60 lbs dry. Comes without any fluids, so pick up some 5w-30 and gasoline. It takes 20oz of oil and 1.6 gal of gas. Comes with a funnel and spark plug "wrench." I put in oil and gas today and being an excited idiot, tried starting it without turning on the fuel valve. After a few tries, I checked the manual, and there it is, turn this lever to ON. After that, it started right up. It runs relatively quiet, but in ECO mode it quiets down nicely. At first startup it ran a little rough (vibration), but soon settled into a nice idle. So far, seems like a quality generator.

Excellent unit quite.....once I put oil and fuel into generator ,it starred on first pull ..lots of power for what I need while camping in my trailer
