I bought one of these about a year ago. Did not come with a charging cord for trickle charging the onboard battery. Found this that I can use with my battery tender. Thought others might benefit.

I wish more people would get these for emergencies.

That said, campground campers PLEASE LEAVE THEM HOME home when you go camping in a campground. Boondocking, fine, whatever. But if you're in a rustic, no power, no flush toilets forest service campground with lots of tent campers, please show some restraint. And if you absolutely have to turn it on (I dunno, maybe you need to charge your cpap battery?), do it for like an hour max.

I was just camping over the weekend and someone had this brand and was proud of it. They spent the whole weekend inside their trailer (beautiful weather, low 70s, no bugs!) and ran this nearly nonstop. Why?

I know it says only 57db, but there's more to it than just volume. At least in a natural setting. Close to it, it seemed quietish on the surface but we were aware of it running all over the campground. Even 20 feet from a loud mountain stream, you could sense the drone. Would it bother me in my neighborhood if I knew people were without power? Heck no. But in the woods? Skip it.

Thank you for listening to my rant.
I think this is the best price I've ever seen for dual fuel electric start of this size.
Nice find.

FYI, the 3200 Watt gas one is $283 one as well.... This is a steal under $300. I just picked another up, even though i have absolutely no need for one.

Bought this one last time around, just had outages and it performed really well on gas. Ran it for 42 hrs straight to power the house. Saved the $300-400 in groceries between freezer and fridge

Changed oil after that and had minimal "gunk". Pretty happy for under $500

I will say the battery isn't worth a dang after like a month of sitting (manual says run often so it's just the nature of things without a trickle/solar top off)

Can this be linked to a Champion inverter generator?

You can link gas generators in series to combine their output ?

I bought this last month. It had minor scuffs but the motor area was spotless. It shipped quickly. Tested it and everything worked. Now I need to find a battery charger that fits it because I don't run it enough to maintain the battery. Glad it also has a recoil start.

Bought this last year when it was on sale for like $289. I still haven't' put oil in it and started it but it sure looks pretty in my garage lol. I also own the 1600/2000 watt that I use for camping due to its light weight and it hasn't had any issues.

Note: It does NOT come with the oil, funnel, link cables or wrench. It only comes with the propane connector / valve and comes in a generic cardboard box marked "Refurbished".

Just curious, do you have a transfer switch or how do you get power to the house circuits with the genny?

This isn't the sort of generator you'd hook up to whole house, e.g. transfer switch. You could, but it's not going to run 240V, and even if you connected it properly, you aren't going to run much on this.
