This diesel generator (3000 RPM) is solidly built! Ours came already tested, fitter with filters, and filled with oil. That was a nice surprise so the supplies I bought for the purpose can go to the first oil change at 20 hours. The unit IS heavy but not impossible to move by yourself with some care. The wheels don't swivel, so you'll have to lift one end if you want to turn. Definitely recommend you have a strong helper to move it from the shipping pallet and unbox. The unit is billed as quiet, but at 96 db that's relative. Relative to a jackhammer perhaps. They say at 7 meters it's comparable to a riding lawnmower. Probably not far off if you have a large ride-on. The kit comes with a bag of parts build your own plugs. You have a caravan-style plug to connect to 230v, and a couple for building 120v plugs, one at 16 amps and one at 32 amps. You'll find one socket for each standard on the front of your generator. I tested my 120v/15-amp table saw (an older Bosch 10-inch/250mm work site model) on the 16 amp output. The diesel generator never sounded like the engine was ever under load, though I did manage to pop the 16 amp breaker once when I cut a particularly thick piece of wood. Our contact at Generators Direct, Sam, was so helpful with questions when I set it up! Ask about the trick for changing the oil without pouring it all through the unit. The drain plug is at the very bottom of the engine, of course, so it's right above the bottom of the steel case. No space for popping a drain pan in there. Sam's the best - and he gave us the best price available, too!
