Easy setup. Easy start up

Just bought this unit for those unexpected outages due to storms in the spring. Set it up and had it running in less than 20 minutes. Started on the 1st pull. Plugged in some tools to make sure it worked and it didn’t phase it. Ran like a champ.

Help! My Power is Out!

This product really saved the day! I work from home and had and unexpected power outage that lasted hours. This generator is very easy to use and have up and running in minutes. Very satisfied that this brand has more watts then comparable brands for a fraction of the cost.

Exactly what I needed

I have a sub-panel installed on my house so if the power goes out, I can hook up a generator and run my essentials, HV/AC, fridge, and sump pumps. Power doesn't go out very often so I wanted a generator that ran on something other than gas so that the fuel doesn't go bad in the tank waiting to be used. Propane never goes bad so this is perfect! Work great to power my camper as well at sites where there is no power.

Dual fuel, Gasoline and Propane power Max 5300w

I have been Now using this machine for about 2 days and I have put it through various tests using both gasoline on one and then propane as well for another. I love that it came with a switch for 120v and 240v. I usually use it with the 120 V 20 amp four common uses. I also have used this on a welder and I can say I did not disappoint. Just so you know propane has a max output of 4800 running Watts with 5800 Peak Watts. And gasoline has 5300 running watts and 6500 Peak Watts. For anyone who wants to know if you specs. It does come with tripped breakers so don't worry about overdoing the machine. There is also a ground connection screw in case you want to ground something. Coming straight out of the box I had no issues whatsoever getting a machine started. As far as the noise level he was surprisingly a little quieter than then I assumed. I bought this for emergency uses just in case the power went out as well as remote use when I need my welder and have no additional power supply. I can safely say that this machine does not disappoint.

Well built.

Good build quality. Solid frame and this model has a lot of bang for the buck. Easy set up and straightforward to use. I will be using this generator to power a 1hp deep well pump. I plugged a power hungry circular saw in it and the noise barely increased. This is not obnoxiously loud, which is a big plus.

Good features

Used this today because of power outage. Was able to power a refrigerator, small freezer and two large fans. I was not happy about noise level which I tried to determine before the purchase. I examined the original box and could not find the rated decibel level. I searched Google which went to Sam’s club but still no decibel levels disclosed. Love the features but not the noise level. Is there an attachment for sound reduction? Please advise.

Awesome Generator

Nor'easter today and we lost power. Took the generator out of the box, put it together added fuel and it started right up!! Has been running perfectly all day and provides enough power to meet all our needs. Great product and would recommend it to anyone who needs a portable generator.

Great Features

We just bought this and are so pleased with the duel fuel option. We love the versatility and ease of switching back and forth between gas and propane. We store a lot of propane, so this generator was a must for us. It's easy to use and works great.

Easy to assemble. Ran on the first pull

Strong and sturdy. has a collapsable towing handle. I read the manual and assemble as it stated.The 10 mill wrench is in the tool kit and the wheels are quick to install with the wave type cotter pins. I feel the service of the unit should be right after the assembly or when it states to service oil prior to start it probably should say on page 24. The fuel selector switch was in propane so just give it a once over prior to pulling the rope. I just started it to let it run off the factory smell and to make sure it would run when I need it. I hope I can follow up later what a review using the propane part also.
