Does this generator have the auto idle feature?

No auto idle that I can tell. Runs great a couple years later though... Need to keep the on board battery charged but pull starting is easy enough my small statured wife could handle it just fine.

this generator has one speed-fast. the only thing you control is on-off, fuel open & closed, and choke.

It is not THE quietest one on the block, but I can live with it. There is a fuel gauge an a shut off feature with this generator. I am very please with my generator and the ease of operation with this generator.

I'm not aware if it had an auto shut off. We just shut it off when were done. While it lasted.

Once you start running an electrical device on the generator, the generator slows down a bit, and seems to throb at a regular rate, as it strains to put out the amperage being demanded of it by the electrical device. I don't know if this is what you mean by "rough idle". To me, a rough idle would be an irregular staggering sound when not under load. Mine does the slowing down thing too, but it doesn't stall. That's the important part.

Absolutely DOES!! I love mine!!! And it shuts off after an hour of sitting idle! Mine is awesome!

Yes, it automatically switches from main power to backup. I have the generator wired to main and batteries as the secondary source. When I shut off the generator, it switches to batt right away. When I fire up the generator, there is a 30 second delay built in so power can stabilize before switching over. Had it about a year and has worked flawlessly.

In my case I did not have to adjust anything. Once I replaced the old carb with this one the generator cranked right up. I did not even have to adjust the idle. Not sure if all are that way.

Yes, fantastic feature! I beleive it automatically shuts off after 60 minutes.

does the unit have an automatic humidity level shutoff and on feature that you can set?

Yes it has an auto power off feature like a thermostat feature setting or you can run the fan continuously,optional.

Unfortunately not, it doesn't have an auto on, I leave mine on all the time, and it seems to consume very low-power when on stand-by because it stays cool

From what I have noticed using this it does not have an automatic shut off.

The fan runs continuously as long as the unit is turned on. I am not at the house that has this unit right now. But, as I recall, Auto Fan is just a continuous fan setting.

This does not have an auto option, just have to remember to unplug when engine is not running.

Yes it has an auto shut off feature; I never had a problem with this the last two years I've used it.

Do you mean auto shut down when it's low on oil? Yes it shuts down. When I read the reviews for this generator I noticed some negative comments about the F gauge, but I like it just fine. When you can't see the red bar, put in more gas and you'll neverrun out.

I have thrown away the packaging so I am not sure, although I have a new one still packed that says it does have an automatic shut off.
