Purchased for emergency backup. Like the dual fuel option as I already have propane that can be used if needed and remote start option as I am unable to do the rope pull starting. I use the rv plug and cord with multiple outlets to power different devices at same time. From my use so far I would recommend this generator.

Great generator. Electric start makes it easy. I ran into the hurricane we just had and it performed well once I hooked it up properly. Always start the generator before you plug in your house or it does not work properly. The breaker flips off. Once I hook it up correctly it powered my entire house two AC units and all the lights and the refrigerator.

Review Posted 03/21/2024
I have a Honda inverter generator that I have used for years.. I moved to the country and the Honda has no 220 volt output to have backup power for the well pump. I was looking for small with 220v output and electric start. I was hoping for something around 4kW and found this at 5300watts. It was the best fit for my needs. The bonus is keyfob start and propane operation. As much as I love the Honda generators, bad gas will stop ANY gasoline generator in its tracks. It just cost over $350.00 to convert Honda to propane. (Ouch..!) So now I have 2 propane powered generators that will run off of 1- 100lb tank, freeing me from the many fuel worries associated with gasoline.
