Great for the price

Great little generator. Bought it as a backup power source if the power goes out. Works great for a couple refrigerators, freezers, lights, oil furnace. Runs the electric stove too if I turn off some of the other appliances. And the dual-fuel is a definite bonus.

Easy operation

Generator was easy to assemble and easy to operate although the HZ frequency was 63 with no apparent way to adjust and the manual has the wrong schematic that doesn’t show the connection of the L13-40R connection. I will call the tech support line for help.

Ready for this Winter!

Last February when Texas’ power grid went down we went 4 days without power. Freak winter storms, hurricane, rolling blacks, zombie apocalypse… whatever, this generator give us what we need to the lights on. I like the dual fuel capacity. In a crisis, gasoline could get scarce so having a propane back up is cool. This unit is large enough to run just about everything in the house minus the HVAC. The plan is to integrate it into our homes system with a transfer switch so it’s seamless. Since the generator is only for emergencies it should last a long time with regular upkeep.

Excellent Generator!!!

Bought this generator when some severe storms recently knocked out our power for 2+ days in SE Michigan. Love the dual fuel option and opted to run this generator on propane. Each 20lb cylinder of propane lasted about 11-12 hours. Did not use the supplied oil... we used Mobil 1 5w-30 full synthetic oil. This generator started easy and ran everything we asked it to until power returned. Will be adding a 30 amp power inlet to the house so that we won't need extension cords if the power goes out again.

Worked Great

I actually purchased this generator a little over a month ago. Have not had to use till February the 18th with our recent ice storm taking the power out from limbs acorss the lines. Had previously gased it up with ethanol free gas n the oil came from the factory which is a great bounus. It ran great n wasnt that loud once it was under the awning on the porch. But kept the inside frezzer n refrigator . Plus the TV and 2 lights. I have a secondary line to hook to the well if needed . But had prepared.

Reliable backup power

After loosing power for several hours and having to throw away food, I decided it was time to ensure my energy independence. This was a great product for the price and the dual fuel capability is a huge benefit over other models. The only other option I wish it had was to be capable of operating on natural gas as well.

Great Unit for a Great Price

This is a must have if you live in an area with an unstable grid (i.e.- Southern California in the Summer). Our power went out during a time when we were hosting friends, and this bad boy allowed me to cook on two electronically controlled pellet grills while charging all my portable devices and running outdoor lighting. I recommend it to everyone I know.

First Generator

Easy setup for first time generator owner. Nice user manual. Appears to be very well constructed. It was well packaged with all listed accessories. Compact design and will be relatively easy to roll in and out of storage awaiting our next hurricane and/or winter ice storm power outage.

I bought the generator a day ago and looking at all the reviews on this particular generator I really like what I’ve seen. I don’t have too much time with this generator but it’s gonna run my trailer RV very well. It’s got all the power I need for my RV, love it

5300W dual fuel

Had been looking for months for a backup generator for our solar system. So far it is performing great. Right out of box put oil and gas in, cranked right up. Switched over to propane for the 1 hour run in, ran great and was surprised at small amount of fuel used. Was concerned about how it might run because we are at 8200 feet elevation. Did well under load. Have ordered high elevation kits. Really like the dual fuel aspect.
