Impressive Generator with Many Useful Features

This generator does not include oil; synthetic 5W-30 was used. The battery must be connected, and the electric start works well. Features include a display showing session runtime and remaining fuel, an eco mode that lowers RPM under light load to save fuel, and wheels with a pull-out handle for easy movement. Adapters allow using house-type 120V plugs on the 240V side and on the 120V 30A outlet, which handles loads above 120V 20A without tripping the overload. It is intended for home backup power.

Pros
  • + electric start works well
  • + display shows runtime and remaining fuel
  • + eco mode saves fuel
  • + wheels and pull-out handle ease movement
  • + good price for features
Cons
  • − does not come with oil
  • − battery must be connected

Battery Must Be Connected Before Electric Start Works

After adding oil and gas, the electric start did not work, but the recoil start worked on the second pull. A space heater ran and the generator was very quiet. The start button still failed, and testing showed the battery had charge. Support replied in under 48 hours that the battery ships disconnected. Tracing the cable to the other side and connecting the capped wires near the oil fill made the starter work. The small oil-access cover should expose them. The quick-start guide lacks this instruction.

Pros
  • + quiet operation
  • + recoil start works on second pull
  • + produces electricity for a space heater
  • + support responds in under 48 hours
  • + battery disconnect is handy for storage
Cons
  • − electric start dead until battery connected
  • − no mention in quick-start guide
