User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Works great after repair.
I bought this generator on amazon.com when I received it the 120volt GFCI recep. would not reset. The nearest service center was 35 miles away and shipping back would cost a lot. To get replaced at the service center would have cost me for gas and time so I replaced it my self for $12.00.(Electrican 35 years) Still a great deal. I paid $691.00 for the gen. including shipping. Very happy with it. Idle control works great.
5 Stars Nothing Wrong With It
For the money its the highest quality generator I could find anywhere. Honda engine runs smoothly and starts on first pull every time. Highly recommended.
