Really excited about this generator. It’s looks great, priced right, and is bifuel. Only issue is that it won’t start. Seems like a potential dead battery issue but manual doesn’t include anything about a battery at all and no clear ways of identifying and either replacing or charging the battery. I hope the service team can help remedy the issue. Looking forward to using this product.

Yes, I recommend this product.
