Seems like a really good backup when the power goes out.
So this generator took a LONG time to finally ship but it arrived safely (thank you UPS) and in good condition inside the box. The box it came in said on the outside that it included a bottle of oil and the manual said it would include dc charging cables but neither were packaged with the generator (think they use the same box for all of their 2000 watt generators and got lazy with the print), but everything else like the funnel, spark plug wrench and parallel cables did. I connected a propane tank to it that I’ve had for a while but it didn’t startup right away...called A-IPower and (though it took about 10 minutes to speak with someone) it turns out that I was too low on propane for it startup (I was probably near empty). With a new tank connected and a few pulls later I was good to go. I let it run for a bit without a load and then connected a rotating heater rated at 1500 watts (which is the max when using propane) and the overload light never came on even after 15 minutes with the heater on high (the dark picture shows heater connected to the generator). I even plugged in my iPhone at the same time and it worked great! It’s still early but I’m very happy with my purchase so far. I will try to update after I get some more experience with it. The generator does feel like it is solidly built and from what I’ve read in the manual it seems that this senci motor is just a generic version of the Yamaha motor sold in the blue SUA2000 model. The unit is not light but is easy enough to carry around...I love the portability of it. As other reviewers have said the noise level is very good compared to the larger generators...Even at about two feet away you could carry on a conversation with someone without having to raise your voice and from inside your home you will barely even hear it. I would recommend getting the elongated flexible funnel and the magnetic dipstick like others have suggested. The flexible funnel made adding oil painless. So far I would say go for it if you are on the fence about purchasing it. Nice to have something like this as a backup.

Very nice unit for the money
This is a great buy for a compact dual fuel generator. I ran it for 28 hours straight right out of the box on LP Gas with no problem.Pros.Price Price Price... Great!Plenty of power for most camper or emergency home needs.Comes with everything you need right out of the box, even the oil, RV power adapters and more.Very economical on fuel average load.They can run in parallel and they provide the cables in the box.Great for remote operations or off road camping.Dual fuel operation, no need for messy or dangerous liquid gas.It's is quieter than many standard generators on the market.The LP hose does not interfere with a 30amp RV plug when the 30amp adapter is used. (Nice Touch)Cons. Keep in mind...I have been spoiled by Honda super quiet generators.While the spec reads the same as Honda they are considerably louder and weigh a little more. I would not use it in a park situation for the noise, especially at full speed max load.The new Honda generators in this class are 2200 watts. But Honda generators run around $1,400.00. This unit is 2000 watts, 1800 watts on LP gas. at less than $400.00.Their is no quick disconnect on the LP hose, you need a wrench. While I only use it in the LP configuration, it make it hard to store with the hose and regulator attached all the time.Like most things you get what you pay for but in this case this is a lot of inverter generator for the money. I would recommend this unit with the limitations noted above... j

No Need to Re-jet carb. for high altitude
One of the few dual-fuel of this size. Ran a couple tanks through it for break-in then changed the oil. I camp sometimes over 10,000 feet (3050m) and using propane you do not need to re-jet the carb. for the altitude, if you use propane ONLY. Everything works as advertise.

Hard to start on propane
This is a nice little Gen runs great and looks like it will last. We use in for camping purposes and when it gets a little cold, like 40 degrees it is a bugger-bear to start on propane. What I do to save my arm and overcome the difficulty, is to temporarily remove the blow by tube, shoot a squirt of starting fluid and choke the little feller about 3/4 . Full chock it and it will never start. That does the trick and so far we are very pleased. P.S. we have not used it on gasoline. Which I think it would fire right up.

Bought my second one
The first one was so good, I decided to get a second one so I can have a backup, and also use them together when I need more power.I've been using one of these to power my house when the power goes out since the beginning of the year (2022). The power goes out once a month on average where I'm at, sometimes for nearly 24 hours at a time. I have a small house and don't use a lot of power, so one of these running on propane is usually good enough for my fridge, air conditioning, lights, and electronics. If I need to do laundry or use power tools on generator power, I'll hook up the second one. The low idle mode works great for saving fuel during the winter when I don't need to power my air conditioner.Noise levels are pretty low. I can still hear it from inside the house, but just barely. It feels well-made and I haven't had any issues at all so far. I'm very happy with my purchases.
