Nice unit for the money but better converted to gas
580136
We have converted ours to gas with fire glass which is  a world of difference. HB fire pits took care of us. no smoke and 75 k btu's
Packaging and box are lacking big time, maybe some small damage

Its nice but didn't solve the problem of gas leaking when full, guess thats the price you pay sometimes when you don't buy oem

The overall performance of the unit is great.  The reason I gave two stars is it did involve some amount of work to get it installed fully. It fit the fuel rail perfectly. I did have to enlarge the opening  for the fuel line to attach. Used a drill for that. Don't think for the price I should have to do any work to it like that to make it fit. should have been manufactured better.

I believe a little more instruction and explanation needed from manufacturer as this unit is often purchased by novices like me. Overall I am quite pleased. The first unit shipped to me had a faulty gauge, but shipper promptly replaced without issue. I have been using about 3 weeks and am fairly happy so far. I believe the needle valve a little too touchy and could use some better design but finally compensated after a few hours of watching and tweaking. I will post again after I have had this unit for awhile. This is my first attempt with CO2 so as I gain experience I will share more insight

I purchased the 2013 version of this unit to replace a natural gas tank water heater.  Between the high mineral hard water, the high water pressure in our location, and the poor efficiency and venting of our old tank water heater, I decided to go tankless.  I was replacing the tank type every 7 years.  (Enough of that!!)  I have a family of 5 (3.5 baths, dishwasher, and a high capacity wash machine) and this gives us all the hot water we need for about $10 per month.  If your using more than 3 at a time the water pressure does drop a bit by design.  I did the install.  It took me about a day to get the job done but it helped to lower the front end cost.  It is very quiet,  takes up less room and just seems like a better concept than heating a big tank of water all day long, plus I don't have the anxiety of a tank leaking in our finished basement.  The high efficiency venting allows for the unit to breath while also keeping your home air tight.  Once a year I cycle a vinegar solution to keep it running efficiently as per the maintenance instructions.  I also put a Scale Cutter Unit on the input to prevent scaling even though I have a water softener.  It does take a few seconds more to get hot water but not really an issue.  I highly recommend this unit. It has been in service for 2 years without any issues.

I'm glad I bought it and will use it as needed!
We primarily have several 5-gallon gas containers but I think the pump unit would fit in a smaller container, if not too small, but if larger than the standard 5-gallon container I think it wouldn't necessarily be able to get to all the fuel in a tank much larger.
I was looking at a way to more easily fill my riding mower, quads, log splitter, generators, many of the power tools and equipment we own that wouldn't involve balancing a 5-gallon gas container on my knee and often spilling gas during many of those fill-ups because of that balancing act for filling.
To go with my photos, it came in the red and white box as shown.
Included in the box are three adapters for various sizes, kinds, of portable gas containers to replace the cap on the container with one that will allow the pump to attach to the container.
For my plastic fuel container, I needed the mid-size adapter but will keep all of the adapters for other containers I may get over time.
The pump itself is a one-piece unit with one end that is set into the 5-gallon gas tank with the battery pack/pump attached to the adapter with a collar on the pump body that gets tightened down on the black adapter installed on the container.
It takes four AA batteries but the directions indicated it "could" work on just two batteries, but I installed the four as shown.
As in the photos, there are plainly indicated buttons, green for on and red for off.
A part way up the tip of the funnel end is a wire that is supposed to automatically stop the fuel transfer when the liquid gets to that spot. In my first test filling my Craftsman riding mower that function did not work. That is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. Now that I know not to trust the stop feature it I will always just stop the fuel flow with the off button.
The buttons are lite touch pushes and the transfer is actually very rapid and quiet.
When done the directions say to hold up the fill end of the hose and let the gas co back into the tank. That didn't totally empty the fuel line and there was a small amount of gasoline in the lower end of the plastic hose no matter what I tried. I'm certain because it is made with the corrugated style of plastic and that makes for a lot of places for fuel to stay in the hose.
Then you just clip the filler end into a slot built into the side of the pump housing and you're done.
In the warning with the directions, it does state with this pump installed on the container, should the container fall over, fuel will leak out so be careful where you set the container with this pump attached.
Now that I own this I would recommend it to anyone looking at one for the same reasons I was. A fast and easier way to fill many, but not all, gas powered engines. This transfer pump will NOT work with small fuel tanks such as weed eaters or chainsaws. The fuel flow is too high and you WILL get fuel everywhere if you try!

Borrowed an earlier model from a friend after hurricane Irma, took about 30 minutes to realize that he had not "winterized" it before letting it sit for maybe a year or two, gas smelled like varnish. Used the convenient bleed off the carb bowl to remove the bad gas, started right up, ran a full size fridge, small chest freezer and a pile of fans for at least 8 hours on a tank of gas. Much quieter than the neighbors unit. Started stalling, dumping load, and then recovering, eventually realized the issue was the oil level. Even ran a chop saw and angle grinder off it (with some care). I figured that since my friend had failed to kill his, and it worked for our needs after the storm, I'd order my own. Arrived in good shape, changes from the older model seemed like good ones, did a short run and then put it back in the box for the next power outage. Trying to find a good reason to take it out and play with it some more. ;-)

Yes  for  an  battery unit  this bad boy is off the chart good..  I say competes with small (say 29 - 32 cc)  gas units..

Let me start with saying that I'm an off grid, solar powered kind of guy and ALWAYS looking to save some watts.  If you look at a fridge that's this size it has about half the insulation and uses much more energy.  If you look at a 12V fridge unit it will cost you an arm and a leg and here's the kicker, it isn't Energy Star certified.  I've found you're much better off with the energy loss of an inverter on an Energy Star 120V device than running a 12V device that isn't Energy Star certified.  So with that said I bought this to convert to a mini fridge for my DIY off grid solar powered camper.  I assumed I would have to use my own temp controller and replace the probe and such.  When this unit came I was a little perplexed, there was no tube housing the temp sensor, it was embedded in the insulation and impossible to fish out and replace.  Since the coils are in the shelves I thought I was going to have to drill a hole to accommodate it.  As I went to remove the temp sensing unit I noticed it had a course adjustment screw on it.  Typically this is done so the manufacturer can use a single unit for different applications.  I went ahead and tightened the screw all the way in and let the unit run for a few days on the lowest setting (you could adjust to make it colder of course) to get a baseline.  Depending on the room temperature the compressor kicks in at 24 degrees and off at 16 (give or take a degree) which is slightly colder than ideal for me but will work well for an upright unit and may allow me a good temp range from top to bottom.  With this simple modification the unit draws roughly 6 amps at startup, 60 watts while running and is using 10.8 watts per hour while empty but not being opened either.  I couldn't be more pleased with this item for modifying, I'm happy I went with this one and will report back if there are any changes.

+ Great price - other units I invesigated were $250-$500.
+ Unit arrived quickly.
+ Unit started easily.
- Unit stalled when you gave it gas :-(
+ Contacted Homelite 800# on a Sunday and spoke to a live person!
+ It simply needs a carberator adjustment
- Only Homelite service dealers can adjust 'cause it takes a proprietary tool that only the dealers have :-(
+ Dealer did the adjustment on-the-spot when I took it in.
+ It's worked fine ever since (about 2 hours run time)
Too bad the Recon place isn't more consciencious - unit obviously wasn't even started and verified running.  Makes one wonder what other steps in the recon process they blew off.

I buy most things off Amazon but actually picked this up for a good price at $250 on special at Home Depot but figured I would give it a review since I converted it over to Natural Gas and others might want to know it is possible.  First this is not a detailed guide and I don't take any responsibility for what you choose to do.  I first called Ducane (Weber) and they said they don't offer this in NG and did not offer a kit.  After looking online it seemed possible and I didn't want to spend nearly 500 on Webers cheapest 2 burner NG grill.  Ended up getting this drilling out the orifices w/1/16" drill. Hooked up a Charbroil 10' hose with quick disconnect.  Did all of this and install within 1.5 hours.  Just heated it up for the first time and reached 550F in less than 5 minutes.

Have no idea how it will hold up since I Just got it but install went smooth, everything fit nicely.  I had to take off the front panel to get to the orifices and noticed the bracket was bent in and whoever did the install at the factory put the washers on the wrong side, missed one washer, and the bolts were all loose so I am actually glad I had to convert it as I could see if you transport it anywhere those bolts would have fallen off.

This is a nice burner for the money, but if I were to purchase one again, I might choose a different model, or spend a little more for higher quality.

It does its job well and easily gets an 8 gallon wort boiling after a warm-up period.  My complaint has to do with the oxygen adjustment at the base of the hose, where it attaches to the burner.  After a while, this self ignites, causing gas to escape the base and burst into flames.  I have to run over and turn the gas off, which extinguishes the flame, and then start it up again, backing off on the gas flow.  It's difficult to get a strong flow of gas out of this burner, since it self ignites so often.  Frustrating!  Aside from this issue, I like the burner.  It's workable, but requires some babysitting.

I purchased this for a rental property that used natural gas for cooking and for the water heater. I tested it at home before installing it because some reviews indicated problems with sensitivity. After letting it "cook" for a day I tested it by directing a puff of propane at it from about 3 feet away. The alarm immediately sounded. The alarm is loud but not as loud as I would prefer. The real test came a few days after I installed it in the rental property. There was a leak in the gas cook stove and the unit detected it allowing the tenant to safely turn off the gas precluding any serious consequences. I'll now buy another unit for my own home.
Pros:
 - No batteries to replace
 - Simple operation
 - Easy installation - just plug it in (except positioning is critical for proper operation)
 - It really works and could save your life
Cons:
 - Expensive
 - Alarm could be louder
 - Ties up a duplex convenience outlet
 - Problematic if you don't have an outlet at an appropriate location (ie not too close to gas appliances & not in a dead air space)

I bought this to filter the gas for my Suzuki Kingquad 750.  The fuel pump and filter is all one unit located inside the gas tank so you cannot replace one without the other.  The whole unit is about $400 to replace.  I decided this is a much cheaper alternative.  When refueling with these filters you need to be careful and not overfill which is easy to do.  On my Kingquad I can't tell how much gas is in the tank until I remove Mr. Funnel.  The gas gauge takes about 2 - 3 minutes to register so you might have gas running all over the place by the time it shows your tank is full.  I generally pour about one gallon and check the level and add more if needed.  For much bigger applications you can probably do more than one gallon before checking the level.

Its a good alternative to going to the gas station to fill up on air. Seems well built and it was able to inflate my motorcycle and car tires in good time and with very little effort. The cord for the two-prong wall outlet is a little short though so I had to always use an extension cord to be able to go around the garage to inflate all the tires on my vehicles and lugging the extension cord kinda sucked (yes, first world problem). However, the built in cigarette-lighter plug has a longer cord making this compressor a good emergency inflator to have in the car. The built in pressure gage is very a useful device in inflating your tires to the proper pressure but, like the other reviews said, it is off a little: I have to consistantly set the gage to 2 psi over to get it to the proper pressure and I always recheck with another pressure gage. Overall, I recommend this compressor especially in the convenience it provides in inflating stuff at home despite having to use an extension cord.

I really like this generator, although it does have a few quarks.  I purchased mine at Costco a couple years back.  I considered getting a Honda or Yamaha but figured I would give the Honeywell a try since it was about half the price.  I like the idea of the inverter generators due to cleaner power output for sensitive electronics.  I have used a Kill-a-watt meter on this and it does output 120v 60 Hz at varying loads.  It also achieves its rated 2000w output. I have used it a couple times during power outages.  I have gas water heater and furnace, so 2000 watts is enough for me to get by provided I vary the loads around the house (just a couple lights and one appliance at a time).

I recently converted my HW2000i to tri-fuel (will run on regular gasoline, natural gas or propane).  Runs like a charm on natural gas....even smoother than when running on regular gasoline.  All in all I am very happy with this generator.  I will say that it can be difficult to start.  This is one of the biggest complaints.  This is partly due to the fact that the gas tank cannot be gravity fed due to its location so it relies on a diaphragm pump to supply fuel to the carburetor.  The diaphragm pump requires a vacuum impulse from a hose going to the intake which can take a few pulls of the starter to get fuel to the carb.  One solution is to give it a shot of starting fluid before starting.  I found this greatly decreases the frustration during starting.

Good amount of power for the price....
What I like....
great on gas for the amount of power it puts out
good amount of power for the price
fairly lite compared to other equivalent units
sturdy and easily transported
starts fairly easily in warm weather
decent gas tank capacity
low oil detection device is a nice insurance policy
2 year warranty

What could be improved....
noisey little bugger!
handle is a little flimsy
no electric start
Unknown as of yet.......
not sure how this will start when it's colder, I'm sure I'll wish it had the electric start though!
