All I can say is that I'm super impressed by this generator. Super quite! I even had a neighbor come by and comment on how quite it is and he mentioned he also wanted to buy one.
While camping, I had a group of my friends come by my campsite to go Mtn bike riding, and they all mentioned similar sentiments in terms of how quite this thing is. You can site there and talk to your friends and family with it running just a few feet away and it's not going to force you to talk loud or yell to interact with people around you. You can just talk at a normal volume and people can hear you just fine.
That's impressive to me because I'm not a loud talker in general. I tend to be more laidback and talk at a lower tone. So, people being able to hear me over the generator is really awesome and impressive.
I highly recommend this generator for the following reasons.
1. Super quite
2. Duel Fuel - lets you use propane over gas which doesn't have that gas exhaust smell and easier to burnoff the residual gas when shutting it down
3. Easy to start - This model has the remote start which makes it perfect for those cold mornings when stepping out of the trailer is not ideal. Or shutting it down at night when you're already in the trailer with your shoes off. Also, the button on the generator is just as easy. You push it once and it turns over until it starts. No messing with choke and all that give.
4. Weight - The generator is fairly lightweight for what it is. I was able to pick it up and put it in my truck without help. However, it did have an empty gas tank as I used with propane and not gasoline.
5. Fuel economy - I ran the generator from 6am to 10pm at night at a low to medium load on one tank of propane. 16 hrs of running my 30ft trailer with two refrigerators, coffee maker, TVs, lights, and fans. Only time the RPMs came up was when I used the Keurig type coffee maker in the morning.
6. Easy to move - With the retractable handle and wheels this thing is super easy to move around the campsite, even if it's all dirt.
The only thing I'd want people to be mindful of is adding the oil when you set it up for the first time. My unit had a good amount of oil in it from the factory already so when I dumped the provided oil in with the included oil funnel I over filled it. IF... I would have read the instructions I would have noticed the comments saying "Don't overfill" the unit may have some oil in it already. Pour a little at a time until you can see it at the opening of the oil fill hole. Don't get all excited like I did and just pour the whole thing of oil as fast as you can. Hopefully I save a few of you the pain of cleaning oil off your garage floor or driveway. Other good option would be to drain the leftover factory oil out the drain and refill with the provided oil.
