Fired it up this evening. no problems started up on first pull. I didnt have the popup setup, so I let it run for a little while on its own . Threw 1875W blow dryer on it and it didn't seem to phase it.
Since it was getting dark and I didn't have time to pop the end covers to have a look inside, I have one dumb question? What are the 2 plastic tubes coming out the bottom of the back panel for? I'll probably answer my own question when I have more time in the next few days to investigate the insides a little more.
For now, I'm pretty well satisfied of how she runs and sounds.....
