This generator is very portable and easy to run.Love the electric start.It is a life saver since I live in north country.Very easy to put in system and my wife finds it easy to run.This will run all my house and I have a lot of eletrical appliaces.The company that put it in is very good and went right through it with us.

Just finished a 10 state tour delivering HighMont Beef to the western states and the Generac XD-5000-E ran perfectly. We had it in a ventilated stock trailer and fuel consumption was minimal and performance was excellent. I do agree that noise level requires ear protection or a muffler but otherwise this generator did what I hoped it would. It ran four large freezers without fail. Thank you Generac!

Bought the unit for residential back up. Was shipped with all parts included. Thankfully. Set up was with out problem. Have utilized the generator only once for a three hour period. It carried the load without any struggle at all. Pleased so far with the unit.

Haven't had a chance to use this yet but it was easy to set up and starts great, seems to run just fine. I've only run it for about an hour to break it in, my transfer switch should be done in the coming weeks so the real test will be when I power up the house with it.

Fortunately, I haven't had an outage since purchase, but set up was easy and startup successful. But without a real test, I can only say that I expect it to perform in an outstanding way, just like the other DR/Generac products that I have. Brush mower, trimmer mower, drag/harrow.

Love the CO sense no worries about the possibility of CO poisoning. The electronic push start lessens the hassle of pull start. Parts list could’ve been a little bit better detailed and the directions for installing the feet using the bolts and bolts for handle could be a little bit better but all in all everything was put together in about 15 minutes. I think instead of using cotter pins to secure the wheel pins I’d rather use a nylon locking nut.

After much research I waited a little too long to purchase this generator as we had a power outage at 9:30 pm but at 11 pm I had the house up and running the store was 20 minutes away.The unit did every thing I expected and more.My family was very relieved as I had every light in the house on 2 freezers ,fridge and sump pump I had already set the house up for generator use so after assembling generator it was plug in and go.The outage lasted 6 hrs then 2 days later power was out again for 4 hrs did not miss a beat I hope I do not need it again but if I do the security is worth the price alone.

The generator is well worth the money for a stand by system or contractors. It starts easy with the dial and battery. Plenty of power to run the essentials. A little noisy compared to others and the fuel consumption is a bit high, well worth the trade off for this price point

We had three installation quotes and they were all very different configurations. Not many installers know the large portable set up. took longer than anticipated, and research. Once we reviewed the steps it was very easy. Moving to desired location also took planning as this is 450lbs. Good idea to have a battery charger on hand, we needed to charge the battery.

The generator was very easy to setup out of the box, with clear & concise instructions. Filling was easy as was connecting the ground wire. This is no small generator and has a lot of power, The pull start was easy to operate. It is not a quiet generator, by any means. So, it's not for going camping. We bought it to have as backup for the major appliances in our house. It has useful 220V connections as well as 110V.
