So far to good. Instructions vague on some control features (Propane Hose Hookup). Watched online Firman Warehouse video to find out pertinent info.....Problem solved!

Was delivered quickly after order. Faster than expected. Love the duel fuel feature. Powers our RV with no problems (AC and all). Some initial problem getting it to start on gasoline. Started easily on propane. After finally getting it started on gasoline it has started easily on both fuels. Great little generator.

The write-up said it looked and ran like new! There are quit a few large grooves/gowges in the casing, not making it look like new. Haven't tried running it on gas yet but works good on LPG. Seemed to be a little louder than expected running on idle. Looks like it will work for what we want but I was disappointed with the appearance.

Very pleased - Was packed up las if new, and the generator pretty much seems new, aside from a little discoloring of one of the outer panels - hardly noticeable. If it had been used, it was minimal. Internal parts are clean and also seem new. With minimal prep it started right up on gas with easy pull start, and quickly settled and hummed at rest without load - and it is very quiet. Can have a conversation standing next to it. After initial test, checked the oil (had magnetic dipstick, which was clean) and it was also clean. Second test was under load - a bunch of lights, TV, and even the RV A/C and it continued to run smooth and didn't even rev up. While the refurbished models don't come with what seem like important accessories like a battery charger for electric start - which did not work initially- I was lucky to already have a charger that worked to charge the battery enough to get electric start to work without having to run the generator to charge. The price I paid before the price for these went up about $100 was $360, and I consider that an AMAZING deal for a 4000w dual fuel generator with such strong reviews. I took off one start because the regulator housing for the LP gas adaptor was missing female screw seatings, so I could not assemble for LP gas use. That said, support was quick to send out a replacement housing as per the 90 day warranty for these refurb gennies. All things considered, I am not worried about the limited warranty period, as these Firman generators are awesome, well supported, and parts can be ordered and repairs made. I suspect this unit will last many years with proper care and maintenance. Oh, lastly - the oil adding/removing system with these is a little weird to me - the angle of the port to add oil is almost horizontal, making filling with even a long neck funnel kind of a pain. Meanwhile, the drain plug in inside and you have to remove a rubber door from the bottom to have an opening for the oil ot spill out into a flat pan or receptacle of some kind, AND you have to tilt the genny toward you to get all the oil to drain out. This is my first generator, so I don't know if it's like that for most others, but I'm going to be looking into alternative ways to add/drain oil. It's a minimal issue, of course, for a really nice and powerful generator for such a great deal. Even considering a second one for parallel at some point. Looking forward to testing the propane side next. Thanks Firman! Read full review

Bought because it was a super deal. I figured with the 2 year eBay refurbished warranty it was worth a shot. Didn’t come with oil but it did come with a battery. Connected the battery, added oil and fuel and it fired right up! Can’t wait to try it camping now.
