Good value and great features
Item arrived a few days late but trucking firm was good communicator. Unpacking went well. Owners Manual seemed well-written but the sequence of steps was confusing. Handles, once attached (easy,) are flimsy and I predict they will fail at some point, as their connection to frame has already bent a few times. Generator itself is really well designed. Started up great, There are some nice features which are not advertised, such as the multi-meter, battery switch, included selection of plugs up to 50A, and choke lever (not in the book either.) Maintenance section is well written and makes sense, as I keep my equipment up to par. My last generator, Honda es6500, is 22 years old and runs/looks like new - -it is just too small (Wattage output) to keep up with current household demands. I have not really tested this new generator under load over several hours, but I believe that given the power output specs I should be in good shape. I will revise this review once I have solid opportunity to run the generator under load for a period of several hours/days. I would rate this 5 stars if the handles were better, book was not confusing and I had positive under-load experience.
