Is the carberator as bad as some of the reviews claim?

I keep mine stored dry. I use non-ethanol fuel you can purchase @ Lowes (TruFuel) to occasionally run it. I also luckily have access to a gas station (SUNOCO) that sells non-ethanol gas.

Carb float sticks, so fuel leaks bad... I converted to tri-fuel, no issues on propane. Before I had to take apart the carb each time and fix the float.

Instead of searching for more positive responses elsewhere as suggested, be cautious in your purchase. Is there a pattern here? Yes. Does the manufacturer stand by the product? Not so much. Maybe you need to evaluate this against reviews for other gen sets.

I bought a BP5500 in 2011, Ran it a few times. It has 3 hours of total run time. Started it up today to test it out and the carburetor is leaking gas big time. They need a recall on this.

To put it simple YES, and all the claims of Generac refusing/ignoring warranty claims are true as well

I just bought a new one in 2014. The old reviews complained about plastic linkage parts breaking. The new machine I just received has all steel parts in critical areas. I believe the machine has been redesigned and improved. It is now extremely well built. Make sure we are talking about the 1215 machine as Stamina produces cheaper models.

I have this heater. Actually 2 of them. I loved it when I was using it. Did a fantastic job of heating my home. The one and ONLY reason I stopped using it is because the cost of kerosene has really skyrocketed since last year, plus it's extremely hard to find it here now. But I am considering biting the dust and getting some for these days that are record-breakingly low this year. The main thing you have to remember with the 2304 DH is to keep it a minimum of 4-6 feet from anything around it. If you have pets, don't worry. Most animals (I have 2 dogs and a cat) learn to get close to it to get warm and to scootch away as they warm up. I've never once had a problem with my pets getting burned. Also, I never leave mine running all night or when I'm not home. And of course, don't ever place anything on top of it. Also of course, don't use anything but K-1 kerosene in it. As long as you use common sense, you won't have a problem and will be just as satisfied with yours as I am with mine.

I don't cook much but my wife is an iron chef and she hasn't had a problem with this grill. We need it because of the apartment law in CA. Chicken, prime rib, links, rib eye, etc. We use it a few times a week. And it's not expensive so give it a try

It isn't too bad. Here's the instructional video linked from the manufacturer's site. https://youtu.be/O4PZ1I9S1QA

Well, someone is ranting, but the hundreds of happy Dyson reviewers can't be ignored. I've had the dc17 for over a year. 1) I use the low reach floor tool under furniture. 2) What hardwood attachment? When vacuuming on bare floor, turn the brush bar off. Tada. 3) The hose design is much easier to use, no extension rods to connect. 4) It's 20 lbs, average for the class. There is much heavier. 5) Anything will break if continually abused. I haven't had to use the 5 yr warranty yet. 6) I would seriously take your vacuum off your hands except you seem to have trouble with things breaking on you. Maybe you should stick with the cheap stuff. Hoover's got the Tempo for under $100. Well, someone is ranting, but the hundreds of happy Dyson reviewers can't be ignored.

Kindof. Its not perfect. Personally I have had a bad experience with one(it fried and wouldn't turn on) but everyone I know that has them absolutely loves them so I give it a 4 star. Remember its cheap. Its no eotech for sure but its worth the money. Its worth it for 22s but risky for high power weapons.

My personal experience, the motor gets gummed up and breaks way too easily as it cannot handle much other than squishy vegetables and fruits. I would save your money and go for a food processor that has a better motor and blade mechanic.

In my opinion no; it is about as noisy as I expected it to be. I barely notice it when it does come on and it may be partly due to just having gotten used to it. However, I can see how someone might say it is noisy. This has been a great machine for me once I got the refrigerant level fixed. It may ship with very little refrigerant and you may need someone to come out and add some if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

I had a Shark unit before the Haan and I gave it away pre-maturely because I no longer had wood floors. Now I have them again so I wanted to buy a better unit. The consumer buying guide rated this one at the top. So, I got it. It works well but it seems like the cheaper Shark produced more steam. I still like this one better because it heats up very fast and for the money you get a handheld that you can use in smaller places (ie. counter tops etc.). I'm happy. It's definitely better constructed than the Shark. Good luck.

Oh yea, I just read your review on this reloader...I'm reading more positive than negative reviews. I am a retired Machinist and I can't see this machine being too difficult to set-up and operate as described. I have read the do's and don'ts and what to watch for and it seems pretty simplistic.. Besides, If it is too problematic as you say, I'll return it. Thanks for your response...

I didn't see the bad reviews, not sure how to answer that. I haven't had any problems with mine. It has a lot of nice motorcycle friendly features. Another brand just came out with a M/C friendly package but nearly as many features. Even if I'm just out for a ride and get lost I just put the Zumo in the cradle and dial in where I want to go and it takes me there. try reading a map while dring a motorcycle, no thanks.

I am using it on laminate floors and finding the same problems as the negative reviews. It leaves a film, it's terrible for the price. I wonder about the people with rave reviews, did they have a different hard floor type?

I have not installed this carburetor as of yet. I bought the euro max carburetor from CIP1 with a new single vacuum advance and it works awesome. No air leaks from worn parts, ect. I bought the Empi carb is for another engine I have but it has not been installed yet.Dave

If I knew the answer to that, I wouldn't be complaining about it. I read the reviews prior to ordering and several complained about this. I thought I'd get lucky, but NO. I ordered the KMC1 and have had no issues whatsoever. It's an additional hundred dollars, but well worth it. It sounds tons better, too. Shame on me for not following my gut and paying attention to reviews.

Yes, its an ok grill. I think one of the problems is that it loses alot of heat through the top. Wish Char-Broil would put a reflector insert under the hood. I'm not impatient to get my food done, but the longer I leave burgers on the grill below 350 the drier they are. I'm thinking of putting heat reflecting tape on the inside and maybe outside. That may help. of course I may end up poisoning my family

I got this model at Lowes. Don't buy it. It sucks!! And is dangerous and Char Broil has horrible customer service.
