(More customer reviews)I purchased this generator to use for emergencies. Unfortunately, the only way it will start is to remove the air filter and spray "Quick Start" spray directly into the carburetor. Otherwise, you can pull the cord all day long and this generator will NOT start. Mind you, this happens at any temperature. Even if the generator has been running it won't restart without "Quick Start" spray.
The worst part is, there is a sticker on the generator saying it is "illegal" to take it back to the store once it has had gas in it. I feel like I have been had, I was sold a generator that won't start, then I'm told I can't take it in for a refund. What a joke.
Also, the generator is rated at 1400 watts continuous and 2000 peak. However it struggles to keep up with a 1000 watt demand and it will DIE if you try to give it even a 1400 peak. And after it dies you better have some Quick Start spray nearby. You could use this to power a couple of light bulbs, but it is useless to power tools or applicances. If you are looking for something in the 1000 watt range (which this product really is) you are better off buying a much cheaper inverter that hooks up to your car battery.
It gets worse: the generator vibrates so badly that any cord you plug into it vibrates out! You can't even plug electrical cords into this piece of garbage. And I'm not talking about old, worn extension cords. I mean brand new cords won't stay plugged in. I have one cord that will stay plugged in and I had to bend the prongs terrible crooked so they will stay in!
I am sorry that I purchased this generator, and I would never purchase this brand again.
The cons:
1) Generator doesn't start
2) Generator doesn't deliver advertised power
3) You can't plug anything into it
4) You can't return it when you find out it doesn't work
5) It blows a lot of smoke when it runs
6) It's loud
7) It's made in China and there is NO manufacturer's support
The pros:
It is useful for propping doors open? I really can't think of anything good to say about it.
