Great Unit:
Received the generator in perfect condition. After mounting the wheel kit, I added the oil which is supplied with the generator. I added some gas and it started on the 2nd pull.

No problems with shipping from Amazon. Generator runs like a top. Engine pulls easy with no battery. I hooked it up with a Reliance 6 circuit transfer switch and it runs 2 refrigs, freezer, heater, lights, tvs, microwave, ceiling fans - no problem. Plus it's easy to move on the wheels and seems fairly fuel efficient. Brushless altenator is also nice.
