We love our new 17" mower. Works much better then expected.

Good

Honestly, I’m baffled by the majority of bad reviews on this although it seems like a good portion of them seem to be due to shipping damage so I guess personally I’m not sure if I’d get something on one star if it was damaged during shipping as I mean quite frankly, I know it’s packaged incredibly well which in my opinion does not put it on the seller whatsoever there’s literally no way of determining if you’re gonna get a nice guy who takes real good caution of it or the guy that’s gonna roll it down a hill but regardless of that I just hit 120 hour mark and decided that I’d leave my review and for a measly about $275 shipped to my door. I am genuinely blown away I couldn’t be more impressed with this generator. I mean for one about six months ago I had the Wen open frame extremely similar type generator, which is from make a big namebrand company and also was almost $400 and that thing was incredibly hard to start was much louder and also bigger with less power and personally it was a piece of junk at 90 hours, which is already less than what I have on this I went out to start at one morning, and the poor rope is completely locked up, which means the motor was locked up which I had a feeling cause it was always hot and the fact is I guess what I’d consider a generic brand generator is three times is good for half the money makes it even that much more great. I think the noise level is honestly right on the money for an open frame and inverter generator which I’m out living on my own land in the middle of nowhere so a noise really isn’t an issue and personally I almost prefer open frames because there’s just so much easier to access and see everything versus one of my other enclosed models from a namebrand company. I mean it literally took me 45 minutes, maybe an hour just removing plastic pieces even get to the carburetor on it, which speaking of hours that I have on this, the fact that it even also has a display screen is a huge bonus in my opinion as well as the namebrand similar when I mentioned as well did not have one and the vast majority of these especially cheaper ones don’t have anything which I always have to add my own aftermarket hour meter which not sure how much I trust those and I think it’s very important you know play overall our runtime on your generator just simply for maintenance more than anything. Now I have a couple of really handy tips for people wanting to make this an even better generator as first of all I will say to tad bit strange and I didn’t even know it until after I got it that it’s not a standard RV 30 amp plug not a big deal luckily I already had an adapter second of all the basically whole front lower plastic cover is essentially you might as well just leave it off and considering that’s where you drain the oil which as I’m sure others have experienced honestly it is which seems to be convincing with a lot of generators. Just not in the greatest spot at all but for just a measly 10 bucks you can add an extension hose, which you can see in my pictures which not only allows you to drain it very easily wherever you want, but also requires no tools whatsoever after installing it of course to drain your oil and then second speaking a noise if it does happen to be an issue for you or if you plan on running this inside of like some sort of enclosure, it is very easy to add an exhaust extension which you can see from my two pictures the one showing the longer pipe is just kind of an example of what you would use to run it out of an enclosure clearly you’d want a longer piece and then the second one I was just kind of trying out and I’ve actually ended up leaving on because it genuinely not only makes it. I would imagine at least 10 to 15 dB quieter but more importantly at least in my case where and how I use this generator, the front panel of it is essentially facing where I’m at, which means the exhaust comes out of the side of it and again personally it’s not super loud but with it coming right out the side, it definitely makes it more noticeable so by the way just simple standard diesel generator exhaust tubing is exactly what you want to use as it fits perfectly inside the muffler after you remove the resonator, which I always remove mine personally because I have no plans on ever going to a state park with this and the diesel piping fits right in it and it’s super affordable for as many feet of it as you want, but if you’re simply trying to quiet it down, I purchased a five dollar elbow and what you see in the picture is just a OEM muffler from a diesel heater I had laying around which they’re not that great but I have sense. Ordered the upgraded versions they sell for about 18 bucks. They actually have baffles in them which I expect will make it even quieter, but I tried taking a video to show the sound difference, but it’s just much too difficult to even remotely tell on camera, but I mean you can essentially add an elbow so the exhaust runs behind it out of the wa...

I bought this generator and it turned out to be one of the best purchases I’ve made. It really helped my family during Hurricane Melissa when we lost power. This generator is very powerful for its size and handled more than I expected.I was able to power a refrigerator downstairs, TVs upstairs, fans, and charge laptops without any problems. With everything plugged in, it ran for about 8 hours, which was impressive. When running with a lighter load, it lasts even longer.It starts easily and runs steadily. For anyone looking for a reliable generator for storms or power outages, this one is definitely worth it. It gave us peace of mind when we really needed it.

Excellent!

Fired up on the first pull and runs smoothly. Sturdy deck and wheels, feels well-built. Perfect for my yard.

Starts easily and cuts thick grass cleanly. Lightweight and easy to push with simple height adjustment. The included engine oil was a nice bonus. Great value for the price.

It was easy to shop online. Had the product in 4 days. This was during the time period of getting 20 inches plus of snow.

Easy to assemble. Took about an hour. Added oil and gas. Started right up. Hand some snow on the ground countries it out. Worked great. I will be ready for the next storm.

Website easy to navigate. Purchase was smooth. They delivered it a day early and in bad weather. No complaints.

Everything was in the box, assembly was simple. I used it once so far to clear a small accumulation of about 3 inches off my long driveway, which has a fairly steep incline, and it did well needing no battery swap.

Website was easy to navigate and price was right and quick shipping

Just used the machine after a blizzard that dumped nearly 30 inches of snow on us and machines was a godsend to me. Recommended the machine to friends.

This is a 14 inch small lawn mower the mower is lightweight and easy to use in my small places . I use it to keep pathways cut and around the fence . Pretty easy plug in and go mower. Can empty the bag easy. powerful for a small unit and cuts very well. I have been very happy with this little mower.

Putting it together was easy, but no oil shipped with item, missing cotter pin in wheel.
