Great Back up
Assembly was fairly simple, read the reviews for some good tips. Ran it only on propane and don't plan on using gas. Fired up right away and ran a heater with 3 settings with no problem. I added a hair dryer and no problem on low but the high setting did bog the machine. Be sure to add load a little at a time if possible and the little thing runs great. Change the oil after a couple of hours of brake in and off you go. I will run a few times a year to keep all in good shape. I would buy again, and will tell friends.Read full review

Excellent value and very nice generator for the price I paid!!
Updated review: Today I got the chance to do a real-time trial on my new DuroMax Hybrid Duel Fuel - Gas (or) Propane Generator Model # XP4850EH.. WOW!! I am highly impressed. For $279.00 Total including it being shipped to my door this has to be my ALL TIME BEST purchase off EBay in the last 10 years. This baby puts out a SOLID punch of power and easily powered multiple hand tools, lights, and even my inside garage refrigerator ALL simultaneously at the same time.Read full review

You get what you pay for, folks. Buyer Be Aware..there are Pros: and Cons
I've purchased two of these.
PROS:
they get great gasoline "milage", compared to my bigger generators. They run really quiet as well. If all you want to run is Gasoline, these are a great buy for the money. Especially if you put a "watch" on the product and get a notice when they drop the price to $325 twice a year (which is why I bought two!)
CONS:
Both have troubles running on LP for any amount of time. The first one arrived, worked for two weeks then the electric start failed then it quit running on LP. Same with the second one, LP is the weak point - although they added two LP pressure regulators.
.
Be advised,
3yr home warranty sounds good, but they charge you $75 to send it back for repair and the $75 to get it back. The second one arrived with a big dent in the manual start recoil box, rendering it inop. They promptly told me it would take THREE MONTHS to get the part. With tens of thousands sold, they do not keep parts on hand??? The box was not damaged, indicating it came off the assembly line in China that way, and was boxed up anyway.
.
Is it a good deal for the $325 I paid? Yes, PERIOD.
Are they of Great quality for running every day? If Gasoline is your fuel. ABSOLUTELY.
.
IF YOU PLAN to run Primarily LP, like me -- since it's about half the cost of Gasoline, prepare to plagued with problemsRead full review

Just what I wanted
Started right out the box. Had a gas only generator. Storing propane much easier than gas. Standby for my home. Won't power AC but keeps everything else online. Needed 240v which this unit has. Much quieter than gas unit. Very happy with generator,Read full review

Best deal of the year
This is a great generator. I don't see a better value on the internet. It is a quiet and economical
to run generator.. After watching this unit for several months I couldn't pass it up. I have a couple
diesel gen sets but the portability of this unit is perfect for where the extension cords won't reach.
I plan to set it up for the wife as a turn key flip the switch unit for outages when I'm not home.
I got the gen with no damage and in stellar time. For a house with nonelectric heat it is a
perfect match for me. No one can touch the price for the features of this unit.Read full review

Nice little generator
Out of the box it was easy to assemble, all parts were there, started on 2nd pull. After running for 5 minutes the battery was charged enough for starter to work. Tested the unit on some tools and it ran them effortlessly. Noise level, well it’s a $300 unit so not bad for the price. All in all, nice generator.Read full review

product discription & assembly
I do like the duel fuel feature! If you buy one of these generators get ready to be creative & you must have a little assembly smarts to assemble this generator. The instructions are vague but I got it done by just looking at the pic & finding bolt holes. On mine, my electric start does not work but I'm still looking to see if all the parts were sent. On the propane fuel, I do love this feature plus just one pull on the rope starts this generator. Haven't actually used this generator yet but I figure I'll like it overall. The price was gr8 & fairly quiet!Read full review

A steal at the sale price
Arrived in excellent condition. The instruction booklet needs some correcting and that is about it. I checked it out and it runs fine, I plan to use it for emergency only to run 2 refrigerators and some lights. The propane option is what I wanted, no mess and no cleanup for storage, just keep the battery charged and if you don't there is always the pull cord.
Specifically on manual errors: on propane no choke is ever used and fuel is shut prior to ignition or you will get some tremendous backfires. With gasoline you should also shut the fuel first and let the engine quit to avoid backfire.
A low rpm idle would be nice when the genset is not seeing an electrical load. Current design runs at 3600 rpm whether loaded or not. Such a feature would extend run time with cyclical loads.Read full review
