Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this unit for emergency use along with a Reliance Controls transfer switch. I specifically wanted propane because it's clean, widely available, and there aren't any issues with long term storage like you have with gasoline. The unit is somewhat finicky starting cold, but runs great, and puts out plenty of power for our refrigerator, chest freezer, washer, and other small loads like lights, fans, and a TV. I would highly recommend this unit for emergency power. The multi-function meter is also very nice; It shows elapsed run time (hours), frequency (Hz), and voltage. The unit is heavy, but it is a 5KW generator after all. With the wheel kit and folding handle, it's still quite portable, and can be run from your BBQ propane tank, or the 100lb propane tanks for extended time. I've only owned it a short time, but so far I'm impressed. The 3 star rating is only because of the cold start issue, but I'm working with a factory tech to resolve the problem. Also, unlike some other electric start generators, this one comes with the battery included. It also includes an oil filling funnel, spark plug socket wrench, and reasonbly nice manual. The vendor tells me it actually carries a 2-year warranty. The literature says 1-year, but they claim the literature has just not been updated.
