The generator arrived promptly and in good condition. There was no shipping damage, not even a scratch. The wheel kit was easy to attach. Directions weren't really needed to do this. Only a little common sense is required and assembly was a snap. All wheel kit hardware was supplied and was of good quality. I encountered none of the problems other reviewers have mentioned. After assembly, the next step is to add oil. The position of the oil hole is a little awkward, as others have noted. You either have to tilt the unit, or use a funnel with a hose. I would recommend a funnel which can be very cheaply obtained at WalMart or any auto supply store. I have a pressure washer with a Honda engine and the oil hole is located in a similarly difficult spot, so this isn't unusual. The engine held slightly less than a quart of oil. Next add gas. Easy. The pull cord is also in a somewhat difficult spot, but I had no problem pulling it. Choke the engine, and pull. Mine started on the FIRST PULL! Eased off the choke and it ran great. Noisy, yes, but no more so than other units I've seen. I tried several power tools on the generator, a drill, pad sander, and big belt sander. None caused the engine to "bog" down even slightly. One hint, the safety on/off buttons located on the plugs were all in the "off" position. This took me a minute to figure out but they are easy to reset by simply pushing them in. I let the unit run for about 30 minutes. It is a good idea to flush the gas from the carb. The easiest way to do this is to cut off the gas and let the engine run dry. Overall I have been very impressed with this generator. Operation is simple. There were no noted quality problems, such as loose connections. I believe this is an excellent generator for the price, comperable with "name" brand units costing twice as much.
