Great Genny
Used this because our electric was going on an off for over a month because of an one going fault at the local dub stationTo keep the fridge going because of insulin was easy to use compact size and plenty of power to run alot more. Easy to start......... before use id buy some cheap oil to fill it and run it for half hour then change the oil and buy some decent oil in. To get shut of any metal bits inside the generator engine.

100% Satisfaction
We needed a generator for our off grid camper, after watching many YouTube channels reviewing this product it appeared to be an absolutely perfect solution for our needs. After receiving the well packaged product it was so easy to get up and running, after filling the oil and putting the petroleum in, one very easy pull on the starter cord and it ran smoothly immediately. Once started we couldn’t believe how quiet it ran, especially on ECO mode. I would recommend purchasing the required oil with the generator and only filling small amounts of the 450ml required, this was great advice I picked up from watching the reviews. We are 100% satisfied with this product and the quality is outstanding, I don’t believe you will find a better generator anywhere for the money, we purchased this on sale at £435, awesome.

1+ year of use and still live it !
As described need two oilchange quickly after purchase one before start 2nd after a tank of fuel used ! Not as silent as advertised but I live the reliable remore start the displays and the power output ! It's realy capable to put out3.5kw of power (tested) but if you take this much or more than 1000watt continiously be ready for more raised rpm with more noise ! :) it's not your campsite outdoor silent buddy :) but no question work nicely and smoothly for hrs! I use to charge my van buttery 10kw with 1700w electric charger! With 1700W continious load the 4-4.5 lit/ 1gal. of fuel last me 2.5 -3hrs! Even if you turn the eco mode on it will burn the fuel like crazy under heavy load! Not too fuel eff. But reliable starts every time first time and runs smooth ! Just keep it serviced and change the oil regulary! The trarter battery get reharged untill the gen. running ;)

A great generator though could do with a couple of improvements to be perfect.
I purchased this generator to run our motorhome whenever mains hook up is not available. In the past I have just hired one, but they tend to be noisy, large and at around £70 a week, a pretty expensive option in the long run. I knew I needed around 3KW to use the travel kettle while the emersion heater was on, and I wanted something compact, quiet and not too heavy. Having read many reviews and watched a number of U-Tube videos I picked the maXpeedingrods 3300W petrol only model. This generator ticks all my major requirements and will happily provide all the current I need without any issues. It is really easy to start and is far more fuel efficient than the ones I have previously hired. It is exactly what the listing claims, it was delivered next day and it has worked perfectly ever since. So why only 4 stars?There a two things missing from this generator that would make it perfect for my application.1 - It does not have a standard 16A socket for use with motorhomes and caravans2 - It does not have an AC on/off switch, to isolate the load before starting.These are not major issues, I already had a 13 plug to 16amp socket adaptor lead, though it is not weather resistant, and it is not exactly difficult to unplug the generator before starting it, it is just annoying and easy to forget to do!The generator does not claim to have these features, and I purchased this product knowing that, so this is not a criticism of the product marketing, it is just a product limitation which could easily be improved by the manufacture.As you can see from the attached picture, I have now modified mine to have both a 16A and a 13A output and I added a 240V isolator switch. While this has invalidated the warranty is has made the generator perfect for my application, I may even get a new decal made up just for completeness :) In my experience, most things that are going to fail, do so in the first few hours of operation, so I am happy to forgo the warrantee for the extra convenience, I know others would feel differently.Should you buy this generator?Yes, the missing features may not be important to you, and they are certainly not show stoppers. This is a solid product with plenty of good product reviews from trustworthy reviewers. It is very quiet, especially in idle mode, fuel efficient and reasonably light weight and compact. Good value for money, especially if you buy it during a discount period, which seem to occur on a regular basis.

Powerful and quieter than expected
The media could not be loaded. We live in a remote rural location and sometimes get power cuts which is annoying as we work from home. Also I do a lot of drone work and recharging ten batteries in the field needs a lot of watts. I considered a battery power unit but they’re expensive and don’t last as long as this generator. So I went with petrol.Today we had no power and I ran this for an hour to charge our laptops up. Worked great and while’s it’s def not silent it’s less noisy than I feared. All in all a great purchase.

Excellent product with one slight flaw
This is really good generator and with th digital outputs it is real useful. The fact it is duel fuel is truly useful. It takes a full gallon of fuel which of course adds to its weight but if you are using the gas supply and it runs out this facility allows you to keep running the generator while you swap out the gas bottle.The one thing I would like to have is a place to store the various tools and cables and pipes when they are not in use with perhaps a hinged side panel and a replacement spark plug included.The weight of the gas bottle may put some people of using it and the connector for the gas bottle require a spanner to connect it where by if they could have a connector like you use for the BBQ it would be better and if there could be a trolly for the gas bottle to be pulled along behind it it might be better.
