So far so good [Posted on 2008-05-13]
This item is made in China by FME Magna.

There was slightly used oil in the crankcase and odour of gasoline so don t know whether it was tested or an open box return. The pull cord retracted very slowly for the first few times it was used but eventually sorted itself out.

Low oil shutoff works and you will know this if the unit isn t on level ground.

Econ setting is about 2/3 of normal rpm and runs a touch unevenly. This is good value but only time will tell. Haven t tested the unit with computer or other electronics to say that it produces a clean power.

Magna 3000 Review [Posted on 2008-06-05]
The first Generator I received was defective - motor would not run consistently. The support concerning this matter was outstanding. The second generator arrived the day of my vacation. It performed as intended, but the Magna 3000W gen will not handle even a newer, 2004 13.2 Unit. with Hard Start installed. So be aware the claims made are somewhat mis-leading per my experience. Overall the unit is cheaper than the Honda EU2000 and appears to be a good choice for the basic RV uses. It's compact and quiet. The lack of a parallel kit option is something to consider if you quest full RV capability. One annoyance is once the over-load trips the only way to re-set the unit output is to shut it off.
