Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered this item recently through Amazon and am very pleased. I was leaning towards a more costly generator but finally settled on this model. The instructions for start up where easily understood and I had the unit operational in a matter of minutes.
The unit runs quiet compared to other constant speed generators. I plugged my RV into the 30 amp outlet for rv applications and was able to use the AC and other electrical appliances with no problems at all.
I am very happy I went this direction and not the more expensive choices.

Purchased this item Generator Model #46515 from Cabela's in Utah. Also purchased wheel kit for unit at same time. Brought unit home, turned over, cut off bottom of box. Now I have a cover for the unit (when it is not running and cool).
1st time startup: Followed instructions accompanying unit = did not start.
2nd time startup: After pulling start up cord 2 times, moved choke lever to 'run' position = started right up.
So now I know how to start my unit: 2 pulls @ choke position ON then, 1 pull with choke OFF.
Next, I applied electrical load to test capacity.
Unit bogged down (sounded like it was shutting down) when I added electrical load OVER 3,250 watts total.
Saw on a comment board for another generator that someone else experienced power load loss at 6500' above sea level.
This is probably the case here in SLC, UT (we are at 4500' above sea level).
Other than that, the unit runs with out problems (have run it about 5 hours so far). Fuel consumption seems in line with the data included (10 hrs at 1/2 load per 4 gal. tank).
Obtained adapter unit/cords to allow RV and Twistlok sockets to accept standard House-Style 3-prong plugs. Now I have 4 plug-ins on the unit for my 120 volt electrical needs.
Really like how relatively quiet this unit is when running. For a portable generator of this capacity, the muffler is doing it's job.
Would buy this again.

Wonderful!
We finally got to use this generator. It worked like a dream and kept the electricity going for as long as we needed it. Would recommend it to anyone who loves to camp.

So far, so good! In use since Sandy, about 40 hours now.
I bought this back in the spring 2012, really happy I did now that Sandy knocked the power out. It's a little loud, not extremely loud, but what generator at this price isn't? Read more
