Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had serious problems with this machine. For some unknown reason, the top of the fuel tank collapsed. I can only assume that this was caused by vacuum - it looks like someone stepped on top of the fuel tank. It did not arrive in this condition but developed overnight with the machine shut down (fuel tank partially full). Very weird. Next, the machine has a tendency to hunt but that did straighten out after a few minutes of run time. Now the big one - the carburetor developed a leak. Serious enough that if I hadn't caught it, I have no doubt that a fire would have developed. I'm not all that sure that the advertised rated power is correct. Running on gasoline this machine would not run my air compressor when a lower-rated Sportsman model would. I am in the process of exchanging this generator. Hopefully, the new one won't have any of these problems. If so, it goes back for a refund. However it turns out I will report back on my experience. BTW, their tech support was zero help, I definitely got the feeling that I was an inconvenience, not a customer.
