   Mad Cow – 19 February 2025

   Compact and reasonably price for recharging house batteries
   I live pretty far from the grid, and frequently lose power each year but typically not more than a day. I got this to recharge my Anker F3800s when an outage exceeds two days. I basically use the F3800 and Solix Home Power Panel as a house UPS. It lets me recharge them on propane at their full 1800W recharge rate if they deplete before the grid comes back online.
   There was a couple extra bolts & nuts in the shipping container that was not identified as being included/required, but after going through the assembly with a fine tooth comb I couldn’t find any missing hardware so fingers crossed it doesn’t fall apart.
   Otherwise it assembled easily enough and once the nearly dead battery was recharged, it fired right up on propane and now sits ready for the next major outage. I did add a maintainer connection to the battery to make sure that it’s always ready.

   Has been working well for 2 outages in last 3 months in Houston
   It has been performing well. Easy to start, and I have run it on both gas & propane with no issue. It uses about 5 gal. of gas per day. I really appreciate the electric start.
   My one minor complaint is that it states the oil capacity as 0.6 qt. which is exactly what was included, but I wound up with a lot of oil spilling out. It does use some oil during use, so I echo the recommendation of checking it every 8 hours. I wish the oil filler was easier to access, and more important, easier to check the level.
   It does seem loud, but no worse than the ancient one it replaced. I don’t have any other comparison.

   Used to like it-Now I Love it
   We recently went thru Hurricane Beryl.
   It got full contact exposure to a hurricane and came thru with impressive results.
   We lost power to the house over 24 hours. The electric start came in very useful for my wife as she can’t easily pull the cord. We covered in a canopy outside in a Cat 1 hurricane and it kept on working! The fuel efficiency on this is impressive. Filled the tank and it lasted over 24 hours nonstop with no refills needed. We alternated between fans and phone chargers and worked remarkably well. I also like how portable and maneuverable it is!
   It did appear to be louder than our neighbors but it is 4700+ (so I guess that is to be expected)
   For the reliability and price — THIS is the one to buy!

   First Generator Purchase Thoughts
   Generator was nicely packaged and easy to remove from box (2 people). Assembly was straight forward and easy. Two things.
   1. Make sure you have the right amount of oil in it, before attempting to start. I didn’t and had to figure that out via the manual’s troubleshoot (comes with good documentation). There is a dipstick, but its puny and hard to read. Also be careful when replacing the dipstick. It tends to want to thread incorrectly if you don’t have the angle just right.
   2. My battery came with enough charge to attempt two starts and then was drained. Hand start is easy enough. Supposedly the battery recharges while its running, but I haven’t run the unit more than 5 minutes.
   Starts easy with pull start and runs fine. Just make sure you have the right amount of oil in it or it won’t start (good preventative feature for noobs like me who’ve never owned one before). Well constructed, 4 gallon fuel capacity. Have not tried propane feature…

   Very powerful and not too loud.
   This is a little bigger than my old iGen 4500;
   it is more efficient, but not as quiet.
   Placed a 300 gal water tote near the door under the house.
   It deflects/ blocks noise from my window so noise isn’t an issue.

   Read the manual carefully
   We ordered this to cope with the power outage and flooding in East TN. It shipped a day sooner than anticipated and although the box was a little roughed up the unit came undamaged. It’s important to read the manual and watch a couple of YouTube videos before you do anything. Otherwise assembly is easy. It comes with the correct amount of oil and a funnel. The battery needed charging so we had to manually pull start it. Put on full choke gave three pulls, waited a few moments and repeated this. Then we moved it to a halfway point (it clicks into place) between choke and run (its actually 75% choke according to the manual). Started right up. We ran it 4 hours solid on propane and the battery charged. Cut the engine and let it cool, then ran about an hour and a half on gasoline. Follow the break-n instructions for first five hours, (plug in different wattages of use to vary the load and change the oil after five hours). So far so good but after 11 days of outage the power came on the day before the generator arrived. After this experience, the generator is a keeper for, God forbid, the next time. I would definitely recommend this machine and suggest relying more on the propane option as we found you can find propane during these events much easier than you can find gasoline.

   I do not recommend this one
   This generator has not been impressive since the day I started it. It is ok for small non electronic devices, however it’s horrible for anything with a motor and has electronics. The rpm jumps up and down with total dirty power. Now I’ve tolerated a lot of let’s downs with this purchase until last night. The exhaust snapped and fell off. I just have had enough and purchased another small inverter.
   *I have a larger champion that runs amazing but this model is horrible
