First impression
I've only had my Generator a few days but feel compelled to leave a review. The Generator arrived a day before it was scheduled to, a nice surprise. It was well packaged and was in pristine condition. It has a quality appearance. In removing the side panel to add oil it is clear this is a very well engineered product. Lots of information stickers, gas gauge on top, spark plug access on top, and a funnel to fill with oil. It's true it doesn't come with oil, but I would have used my Mobil1 10W30 even if it did. If started on the second pull. I have owned two other generators, one was a Honda 2000. This is as quiet as the Honda was. I ran the generator for two half hour sessions to let it break in and then hooked up a portable heater to see how it would perform. I left it in the eco position and it increased rpm a bit, but not all the way and the heater worked fine. I will use this generator for backup power in emergencies and so it may never see hard use.
It is a clone of the Yamaha unit which is a plus I believe. Engine parts are claimed to be interchangeable. Although I have only limited time with my generator I am confident in recommending it.
