I unboxed it and ran it for a little while this morning. I'm very happy with the size and weight. It also fired right up on the first pull.
As a note, it did not come with engine oil, as my last Champion inverter did. So, if you pick one of these up, make sure and grab a quart of 10w30 on the way home. Otherwise, you may be making a trip back to the parts store.
It was a little louder at low idle than I expected it to be, but completely acceptable. I only ran it for about 10 minutes as a break-in. I didn't put a load on it.
At this point, I'm very happy with the size, weight, sound, and especially the value. It's also a very sturdy design. Combine that with the warranty through Camping World and I think this is a very good deal.
