    • Must have!
Bought this generator 5 years ago and used it once. It sat for the next 5 years without running. Pulled it out after a storm took out our power and it fired right up. Its now been running for a week straight without fail. I fill it up with gas before we go to bed and it still has half a tank in the morning. Its running 2 refrigerators, fans, lamps, phone chargers, coffee pot and a microwave. If your hesitant, don't be. This was a great purchase. I would definitly buy again ... show more

    • Perfect!
Took less than five minutes out of the box for me to add oil and gas and have power after going without for over a week after hurricane beryl hit lake Jackson tx. I now have a window unit ac running in my living room, lights, and my refrigerator is working for the first time in over a week. I can charge my phone! I even did a load of laundry! Having something like this is a game changer after the devastation of a hurricane. It has run non stop for two days now, and I highly recommend. It always starts on the first or second pull, and it is easy to pull start. It runs smoothly. I hear my neighbors generators cutting in and out, rough idling and stopping all together sometimes. I haven't had any of those problems the power is consistent and smooth. The only drawback to this unit is that it weighs 96 lb. It takes two people really to move it. I can push it around by myself, but it's not easy. ... show more

    • I was hesitant, but now I'm impressed
At 10:00 a.m. the day after the hurricane I put The oil in it, one quart put it right on the mark.. .put 3 and 1/2 gallons of gas in it, didn't fill it up but that's all I had, turn the fuel lever on and expected to pull it three or four times. The first pool wasn't a very strong one so I got a better pull the second time and it fired right up, purring ... Started plugging things in and I ran my small AC unit My small refrigerator and my computer without even putting a lug on the engine. .. when I use the coffee maker I heard it ever so slightly lug down barely. .. but I ran it eight continuous hours on 3 and 1/2 gallons, And I started off still had another hour and a half of fuel in it. ... I thought I would have to fill it up every 5 hours but this thing has really impressed me. Everything feels high quality except the red side panels which are plastic of course. But they don't matter. .. if you just run the basics I would highly recommend this generator. Kept me cool kept my drinks cool ran my computer and made coffee with ease ... show more

    • Easy to operate, well-built
Easy to operate, good quality, starts right up. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because they call it "ultra-quiet" and it's definitely not. Most importantly though, the thing works and it comes with oil which is helpful also.

Started the first pull! (did cut off rather quickly BUT that was because I had not opened the fuel valve!) Opened the fuel valve and purred like a kitten! Haven't had to use in an emergency yet but very confident it will meet my needs. This model does not have a wheel kit so I ordered a Sportsman GenWhKit 4000 from amazon and it worked great!
