but the generator kept our room cool and mostly comfortable

I rarely write reviews, but this small generator got us through Hurricane Irma in South Florida - 9 1/2 days without power. We set up a small room with a window a/c, a 2.7 cu refridgerator (dorm size), a flat screen tv with DISH, a lamp, and drip coffee maker. Made believe it was a hotel room! But it kept it livable. The rest of the house outside this room was over 90 degrees, but the generator kept our room cool and mostly comfortable. It was delivered a day early in the height of generators selling out by the minute. We replaced fuel every 8 hours or so, with changing the oil every other day. We also let it rest a few hours a day, to keep it running well. It did its job, and once my husband showed me how, I was able to start it on my own, and I never normally run that kind of machinery.

Customer Service

For some reason the plastic funnel for adding oil to the engine for my generator was some how dislodged from the right position when shipped. I added oil to the engine using a home funnel. I started the engine and warmed it up. I also noticed some smoke coming from the engine and noticed that the plastic funnel was underneath the engine and burned. I notified All Power and sure enough they sent me a new one and no charge. Oustanding customer service. Rather a small request for All Power listens

Great value

This generator runs very well It is a great item for the price The only very minor thing wrong is that The frame were the legs attach is slightly bent so the unit does not sit on the floor Level but just a minor issue Over all it is great

Shocking News!

This is a good unit for the price. Maneuverability: its somewhat heavy, but, that's the nature of the beast. After all it is a generator! I really couldn't lift it on my own, but with two people its simple. For around 35 bucs I put wheels on it; it was easy to do and now it moves around great... I recommend this product.

Started first pull, easy to operate.

When I saw the price $249, with free shipping, which just happened to be $100 less than the local Loews and Home Depot, I ordered it. I bought it for emergency use only, after my power went out for 21 hours during a heavy rain storm this summer and my sump stopped pumping the rain water out of my basement. At that time, I was lucky to borrow the same machine from a friend who bought it five years ago during a freak October snow storm that knocked the power out at his house for six days. He stored it away and never used again until I borrowed it this June when my power went out. His generator also started the first pull, after sitting five years, stored in his garage. $249 is a small price to pay for peace of mind. In addition, I ordered it on Saturday evening and it was at my door Wednesday afternoon, great service.

Great Little Unit

First off, I'm not a big review writer... I should do more because I value others input on products. Pre-Sandy, after going to all the local big-box, brick-n-mortars for a generator and finding nothing, I quickly found this little guy on Amazon. I read the 3 or 4 reviews and made a quick decision to buy it. Very affordable compared to some others out there but realize it's a smaller unit... 2500 watts running. The package arrived the Saturday before the storm... 100lbs, box slightly beat up - not bad/intact. The top of the gas tank was slightly dented, no impact to performance or really appearance. The Tuesday after the storm, I added oil (easy to do) and gas and it started on the 2nd pull. I immediately ran 2 long extension cords to 2 refrigerators in the house. It has 2 outlets, most of the bigger ones have more (4 or so...) This generator (we thought/hoped) would only be needed for a few days, so this small size (we hoped) would suffice. At times, I ran combinations of: 2 refrigerators, a small electric heater, lights, washer (alone), dryer (alone) and was able to keep a small radio going and recharge small items. I believe it holds 4 gallons of gas. It was not terrible on gas, depending on what was plugged in. 4 gallons got 7 to 10 hours, maybe. Running it on and off during the day (off at night), I was using about 5/6 gallons a day and felt I could have managed that better if needed to. After about the 2nd or 3rd day of our black-out, the pull-start had become VERY hard to pull. Prior to this, the wife was starting it on the 1st pull easy. I remembered that in reading a review on this generator and others that the oil needed to be changed after the first 20 hours or so - assuming for a break in period. Changing the oil was very easy; it came out jet black and looked like it was needed. Our black-out lasted 14 days!! This little unit carried us through the whole thing. We would have most certainly had to leave the house if we did not get it!! Around day 10 or 11, I changed the oil a 2nd time as the pull start was becoming tougher again. If I started the generator 200 times over those 14 days, the pull problem popped up 5 or 6... Hoping it's just the oil thing...Manual recommends changes every 50 hours. The unit is "noisy" but not obnoxiously loud - certainly quieter than some of the dozens that were running in our neighborhood. With it fully gassed up, the wife and I could move it around no problem, no wheels though. Small enough that I intend to bring it down the road to my next large Jimmy Buffett Tailgate! Great little unit. Well worth the money. Not recommending for powering a whole large house. I intend to maintain it and this little guy will be there if we need him over the Winter.
