Cons: Very loud, fuel only lasts for four hours...

For what it is, this is a very good generator. It is a simple, inexpensive generator with enough kick for most applications – 3,500 watts. One thing it isn’t is “industrial”, which I think means that the gas tank is too small. The tank holds about a ...

Cons: Front wheels do not swivel when you add the wheel kit.

Cons: Red, should be white
