I am not familar with that particular model and it may be an totally diferent than my recent experence with my prucahse of 3 Coleman Maxa ER (tecumseh 1)hp powered 5000 watt) generator purchased at Costco for about that price. Oout of the box after being oiled and fueled up - One ran at too high RPM with overvoltage and sounde like it was going to blow, The second wouldn't start on 2nd day of use. The 3 rd one seems to be OK. Costco was good about refunding my $ and I replace the Colemans with a couple of 5000 watt B&S 10hp OHV Genracs which were about $ 100 more each. Would I buy another ? No way . Maybe other Coleman models like the one you mention are much better but I next time I will pass be Coleman and buy another brand of small generator next time and it will probably be Honda powered.
