OK, here is my report for the generator after using it for about a month now.
So far I've logged about 32 hours of use on my boat that does not have power to the pier. I now absolutely love this generator. It starts up flawlessly with little effort. No more than 1 easy pull the first time to start it and that's without using the choke.
It runs for about 9 hours with a decent load of a 10 amp battery charger charging a bank of batteries, a small fridge, several lights, a laptop, stereo and a 5000 watt AC.
Without the AC it ran 8 hours with 1/4 tank of fuel remaining. I figured this wasn't a Honda, so it was going to use a lot more gas- but really this thing sips gas.
With all this stuff running, I can cycle the AC on and off and I can hear the generator ramp up and down depending on the power draw. It's smart and efficient.
My only negative is a small one but it's just slightly louder than the other, more expensive inverter gennys; but for half the cost and all the performance I'm not complaining.
As far as durability, longevity and reliability, I'll have to wait and see and report back later.
