A very good dual fuel electric start generator with a couple of minor issues.
Purchased from Costco a few months ago, it does everything that it claims to do except be easy to start. The electric starter works fine, but when using Propane the choke setting is very touchy ( I haven't tried it with gasoline). I contacted the factory for additional information but although very responsive their suggestions did not help. I can start it every time, sometimes taking 4 or 5 tries, but my wife would not be able to do so in my absence. The other minor issue is that it seems to be very noisy, but that's my perception and not the result of a fair comparison.

Happy Owner !
I've got 2 of this model, (did not buy here) the newer one has a trickle charger attachment to keep the electric start battery ready to go, on the older one I use a cheap float charger. This unit is a full sine invertor type so you can run sensitive electronics. When you live rural and don't want to sink a boat load of bucks into a fancy back up system, this is the hot set up, I had a basic transfer switch at my house and had a Reliance 10 circuit installed at Mama's house so you can run fridge/freezer/well pump/lights and most important, the coffee maker. Load management is important so know your power draws and limit accordingly. Never put gas in the tank it goes bad and will muck up the carb. I use only propane and have a dual stage automatic crossover regulator with 12' pigtails and 2 35lb jugs that do not ice up like the smaller 20lb BBQ style and it will un 14 hours no problem.Also noted: you need to fiddle/experiment with choke setting when starting on propane contrary to instructions but still starts reliably.

Dependable Power.
Although it is filled with gas, I run this unit on propane. To start: have the gas valve off and the propane gas valve on, Turn choke to half - turn over starter for 3 or 4 seconds - (giving the propane time to energize the regulator) - stop - Pull choke back to fully open - turn over starter. With this procedure the generator has started right up - every time.
