I have had zero problems with this generator, starts beautifully and powers my RV air conditioner and microwave flawlessly. I do wish it had a little more ground clearance, it is a little cumbersome to move around on uneven forest ground. I bought it in June 2019 and used it through the labor day weekend, on weekends and several times for full week vacations, and it has performed perfectly. I went through the break-in procedure at home before my first trip and changed the oil as recommended and in the roughly 130 hours of operation since have not had to add additional oil. Overall very pleased with this generator.  Read Less

ive had this generator for about a year now. 1182 hours on it. I quickly found out that it runs trouble free once you disconnect the C02 shut off because that whole component is a nightmare. would shut the generator off when its outside in open air and would make me think it could be overheating , or something else when its just that stupid sensor. also its painful to watch when the c02 sensor shuts the engine down it makes it shake violently and caused this 100lb + machine to dance around until the engine inside bangs its way around until it dies. like a said, a nightmare. so disconnect that the first chance you getbesides that this generator hasn't let me down yet. keeping up with the oil changes is made a bit easier by the convenient placement of the channel that allows the old oil to flow out the bottom of the unit when opened, so that nice I guess. I paid the 1300$ original price and I was pleased overall until I seen its now advertised at $899. a real bummer because I paid more and had to troubleshoot mostly everything myself because there was no documentation or support for this product previously im guessing because it was new on the B+S product line.its somewhat quiet unless you put a load on it of course but it will run my refrigerator, charging my batteries ( which there are many, about 9), run the tv, my computer, lights, microwave, and air conditioner ( window unit , not rooftop ) and never have gotten all the way to 100% load on this thing. so its great for my needs. and its 1000% times more fuel efficient that the onan 4000 microquiet that it replaced.  Read Less

When I first got it, I was excited to start it up and try it out. So, after adding the oil and everything you're supposed to do per the instructions, I realized the battery was dead , I pulled the recoil, it started maybe the second time.After running a few minutes it would surge and sputter to a stop. It would continue doing this until it started running well all of a sudden. A few days later I tried it again but it still wouldn't stay running. I read another review saying the air filter needed to have oil added to it (like the manual tells you to do under maintenance) and wasn't done at the factory. Also the spark plug wasn't quite the right gap, so I fixed that. It didn't seem to solve the problem yet, I was planning on returning it. But then even though I could see the gas inside the tank, I decided to put even more gas in it and it started right up! It's been running well ever since.I think it's pretty sensitive to getting new gas and even though my gas wasn't that old, it might have been just old enough. Along with the other fixes, I think it all helped it. It might need closer to a gallon to get it going initially. Now I have about 2.5 hours on it and have tested it under load with my travel trailer's ac and it seems to run it well. Although during one attempt, the inrush current of the ac unit overloaded the unit but it got going the other times. I think in quiet mode it had a hard time throttling up to match the load and that's when it overloaded. I think it does better if you turn off the quiet mode when you are preparing to turn on large loads. With the ac running it was around 40% and then I added an electric kettle to the load and it continued well around 70%. I haven't tried it camping yet, but will soon. It seems louder than the small Hondas but quieter than other generators.The electric start is an awesome feature but even the recoil start is pretty easy.It's unfortunate I had a rough time getting it going, but now that I have it running. I'm happy with it so far.  Read Less
