Hi. I purchased this Rockwood petrol generator for power away from home. It came promptly. Was easy to build up. Just 4 rubber feet to bolt on and a couple of other basic things. Fuelled it up with petrol, same as petrol lawnmower fuel unleaded petrol. Then put in oil to mid level on gauge. I bought the electric start. I turned on the fuel valve, choke and hey presto, started 1st time. The socket was the 3 pin round plug type so I connected the 3 pin round plug to the end of my normal 3 pin extension. Now I can plug in any appliance to the extension. It’s runs smoothly and noise level is just as you would expect. I got it to hoover my minibus & coach at the yard where we have no power. Not taken it to the yard as yet but tried it at home and all works perfectly. Highly recommend.
