    We ordered a generator online from *******.com on December 4th. December 11th or 12 the generator arrives. My husband goes to start it and finds it doesn't run. Over the next week he attempts to get it running and goes through multiple troubleshooting things. The generator at this time only runs on propane not gas. It is supposed to run on both. Customer service is contacted. The lady says she will send us a carburetor. I raise a concern that it will take 2 weeks or more to get to us and by then we will be past our 30 days. She states it will be fine and they will fix it. The carburetor arrives 3 weeks later and it's broken. Customer service is contacted again. I was told a carburetor was ordered but got no confirmation email. Customer service is contacted a 3rd time. Carburetor is not put on an expedited timeline. At this point I'm frustrated. Before it can even arrive the generator stops working completely. Customer service is contacted 2 more times. They state they will not let us return the generator and we must take it to a service center but refuse to tell us how far that will be. They also will only cover the cost of repairs not the money to get the generator anywhere. We live in northern Arkansas. It takes us 45 minutes to get most places. I can almost guarantee it will be a 3 hour drive one way. At this point I just want a refund for the piece of junk we bought.
