By Glenn W.

Purchased 10/08/2018 | 
Review Posted 10/16/2018 
Delivered via SAIA freight in three days and free shipping included. No parts were missing. I used my own full synthetic 10W-30 oil. Took 15 minutes to assemble, two rear tires using the cotter keys, two front legs with four nuts (10mm needed...not included) added ethenol free gas and started right up. Put the battery on a 2AMP charger just to top it off for storage. Most generators look very "commercial like: this one has a neat clean look...like the blue color. Oversized muffler so not all that noisy for its size. Has its own alternator to charge the battery. Overall no complaints and very pleased.
