Propane beats gas

by Terry - Las Vegas, NevadaOctober 28, 2012

Propane is so much cleaner and easier to use. The motor worked fine right out of the box. It is fairly light weight and the twin grab handles make mounting easy. I have only used it a short time, so the question of long term durability has yet to be answered. I will try to update this review at the end of next season. There is also the question of propane availability. I have so far been able to take all I need in my 30Lb tank. I carry a couple of small disposable spares just in case. but have not needed them. Probably won't be an issue unless you plan an extended excursion, which my require some advance planning about where to refuel.

Not bad for propane

by Gary - Naperville, IllinoisAugust 15, 2012

I was very hesitant to buy a motor that ran on propane, but I was assured the power of the engine was equal to that of gas ones. I can attest that this is true! It's pretty cool to be able to run on propane which I find a lot easier to deal with vs. gas. Starts nicely and handles like any gas motor. Took a while for shipping but other than that it has been great!

Not a bad buy

by Hank - Maddison, WisconsinAugust 07, 2012

I got this particular model early in the season to replace my gas one that had just about had it, I liked the idea of switching to propane, and while I am being more "green" there isn't a whole lot of difference. I tried to figure out if I am saving $$$ on fuel and it's hard to tell but it certainly is cleaner and easier than gas. Works great, easy start, and overall not a bad buy.

Makes Perfect Sense

by Jeff - Los Angeles, CaliforniaAugust 03, 2012

Propane makes so much sense to use especially if it’s an engine you don’t use all that often. We've used this 3 times already at our summer home and I love it. Carb never gums up, fuel is good forever. It is easy to start and use and much better than my last gas one.
