Meets the Need
The generator works well. Arrived quickly. Started easily. Good value for the dollar. Does not come with a grounding wire (no big deal). To fill with oil, I found it easiest to tilt the unit at about 45 degrees and use a small disposable paper funnel (homemade from an advertisement) - this is a one time deal since I only plan on using the generator in emergencies.

Great investment & piece of mind
Excellent product for the money. I use it as a backup generator and it's always ready and willing! Starts right up with one pull. Perform good routine maintenance and no doubt you'll be able to count on this generator.

NICE FOR THE PRICE
PURCHASED IN JAN 08 AFTER A MAJOR POWER OUTAGE, GENS WERE EPA AND CARB CERT AT THE TIME (196 CC ENGINE), NOT SURE WHY NO LONGER CARB CERT. GENERATOR ARRIVED IN GOOD CONDITION, AS MENTIONED BY OTHERS SOME NUTS AND BOLTS FOR WHEELS AND HANDLE WERE LOOSE IN BOX, ALL WERE THERE THOUGH. PUT IN OIL AND GAS, DIDNT INITIALLY START, FORGOT CHOKE, I'VE SINCE FORGOTTEN SEVERAL TIMES AND THE ENGINE WILL NOT START WITHOUT THE CHOKE! WITH CHOKE AND GAS ON, EASILY STARTS 1ST OR 2ND PULL. PUTS OUT STEADY VOLTAGE 118-121 @ 60-62HZ LOAD OR NO LOAD! SEEMS WELL MADE, ALL PIECES ARE WELL FINISHED AND ASSEMBLED. RECENTLY NOTICED THE AIR CLEANER WAS CRACKED ON CARB SIDE, PROBABLY DURING SHPMNT. CALLED ETQ CUST SERV, FAXED RECEIPT AND TOLD PART WOULD ARRIVE 2 WKS, ONE WEEK WAS PART RECIEVED. REPLACEMENT PART WAS APPARENTLY TAKEN FROM ANOTHER GEN BUT WAS GOOD AS NEW. AS A BONUS CUST SERVICE IS IN USA, SIMPLE, COURTEOUS AND PROMPT. HAVE ONLY USED GENERATOR SO FAR TO BREAK IN ENGINE AND FOR ABOUT A 1 HR OUTAGE, WINTER IS COMING AND EXPECT MORE USE. FOR THE PRICE W/FREE SHPG CANT GO WRONG, ONLY UNKNOWN IS LONGTERM DURABILTY.

Seams great for the price
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I have not had it long enough to know the overall preformance of the generator.
I purchased this generator after researching several from different manfuactures and different reatailers. After reading all the reviews and talking to some of my neighbors I decided to try this one out. It arrived in 7 days with no shipping charges and there was no damage to the carton it came in, as had been described in some of the reviews. Unpacking and assembly took about fifteen minutes. I then checked the air cleaner, filled the oil, you will need a long necked funnel for this, and fueled it up. The motor pull is in an akward location but has a guide so it should not be subject to escessive wear. I then pulled the start rope and it didn't start on the first pull. I had forgotten to close the choke, after closing the choke I pulled the rope again and the motor started right up and ran very smothly. After a warm up I ran my 10" table saw, router and skill saw all at the same time. The motor reved on start up but then settled back to a constant speed. It is very quiet for its size, my wood splitter has the same size Honda engine and is far louder. I purchased this as an emergency back up for our home since we live 18 miles out of town and have had several power outages in the past two years. I don't know the long term endurance of this product but for the price it seamed the best deal around. As we use it more I will update this review as needed, but for now I'm happy with it.
