Easy to assemble the few bits to make it complete (wheels, handle). Poured gas in it, added oil, set the choke, opened the fuel valve, turned the switch to On and in literally one pull, she started right up!
One thing I didn't realize is that it doesn't have electric start. I falsly thought that all of the generators in this form factor did, but only once you get to the 7500 watt level. My bad.
Top notch generator.

Perfect generator for keeping the lights on when PG&E turns off your power
When PG&E said they would shut our power off for a PSPS, we went out and bought this generator at a local hardware store for $100 more than Amazon sell it for. A friend of ours is an electrician and he hooked the 30 amp cord (not included) to our sub power panel. When the power went out, we disconnected our breaker to the power company and ran the house off the generator.We specifically turned off high load equipment, such as the dryer, oven, and microwave.This 6500 watt generator was more than sufficient to keep our 2400sqft house powered. We have 4 fridges/freezers, LED lights and 2 TV's.On first use, the generator ran fine without hiccup for 8 hours. The next day we ran it for 10 hours and again the following day before the power utility turned the grid back on. We called our electrician friend back, turned off the generator, turned all breakers off and then he unwired the generator and put everything back.This generator was perfect for our needs. It kept everything on as if grid power was available. In each of those long run times, it sipped gas. It only used about 7-8 gallons fuel in about 22 hours run time.One item of note is the generator is loud. Let your neighbors know you'll be running it during the day time hours. Be mindful of local noise ordinances.Moving forward, we're getting a breaker interlock installed on our sub panel to meet local permit requirements so we may run our generator in the future when PG&E turns the power off.
