As for the generator itself, it is heavy, the wheel kit is needed with this unit if you plan to move it around. Pull start with the compression release is difficult, electric start works well. The battery is a lawn tractor 330 CCA battery. This has to be installed so the fuel cutoff system works, will not start at all without the battery, and battery is not included. Next is to build an enclosure to help quiet it down. All in all, I like the generator, will not have the issues that ethanol creates in gas gens anymore plus the longer run time will make it easier on my wife if she has to use it when I am not home.

Since my initial review I have used the generator several times. My 5star review still stands
When it first arrived and I unpackaged the generator and looked it over the first thing I noticed was that the hose connectors were of different types. That only made sense if they ran out of one style and field engineered the rest to get it out the door.
I will be asking for a refund with my next phone call. I will update this review when the dust settles.
