I'm glad that I didn't settle for any other generator. We have lost power at least twice a year for an extended amount of time. I had researched many different generators and found this dual fuel system to be the best for my home situation and optionally for using outside the home. I always have had propane fuel at home for my gas grill but thought I would be using gasoline. I now consider the propane selection to be primary and gas as a backup. The noise level is low enough to not disturb my neighbors also. I runs so smooothly.

Easy start. Works as expected. The manual has a page for assembly, but the real assembly instructions were not in the book but on the reverse side of a maintenance poster. Would be nice if frame was designed better for oil draining or if some tube was included. The supplied tube for filling could be an inch longer but it works.

We bought this generator for winter and summer time since our electricity will go out every now and then. I just like that you are able to use either propane or gasoline so whichever you have on hand that will work. For our trailer home it is the best thing we could get!

Purchased this generator this past weekend. It had great reviews and seems to be a good value $$$ wise. The wheels and feet were easy to install. It is easy enough to maneuver around. We will sleep better knowing it is here and ready to go if and when the need arises.

After much research, I purchased this generator as it seemed to have the best combo of factors for my budget. It is compact, lightweight, and very maneuverable for its power and is built very well. Besides the main selling points such as dual fuel, I appreciate the small details like outlet covers, lower decibel rating than some competitors, included engine oil, and its attractive blue color that doesn't scream as loud as most other generators. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I purchased this generator a few ago. I really haven't given it a full test. I have started it and it is very quiet compared to my 20 year old generator. I like the Idea that it can work on dual fuel supply. I haven't tested the propane fuel, however the gasoline fuel start up was great.

Due to COVID, my wife now works from home and needs power for her computer, printer, phone and fax machine. We had a power outage last week due to high winds. I purchased this item and am very pleased! Filled it with the included oil, a few gallons of fresh gas and it started on the third pull. It looks well built and should last us for years.

Shopped around a lot, looking for a portable generator that would run 2 refrigerators, furnace, and some misc appliances and this was by far the best value-for-money. Have not started the unit yet, but so far its been easy to unpack and assemble (put on wheels and padded "feet"). The footprint is perfect for storage in my garage and I really like the dual-fuel feature. Also very thorough operating instructions.

Managed to Order this just ahead of an Ice Storm in Dallas. This Genny saved my bacon. Managed to get it through a good break in period before the storm hit. The Unit arrived quickly and undamaged, the Starter battery was still pretty well charged so this unit was ready fire up right out of the box. It started right up on first button press and I ran it through several hours of break-in and oil changes. As with any portable generator its KEY to do this break in, and I DO recommend changing the oil after the break in. It helps flush out any impurities, and manufacturing debris so that you protect your Genny investment! Noise: The level is about what you'd expect from a unit this size and when its outside away from the house a safe distance, its about as loud as a Vacuum cleaner in another room with the door closed. Best Features: Remote start keyfob is great and I love the dual fuel option since I always have a few Propane bottles hanging about! Also i've found the Fuel gauge on top to be pretty accurate. Important to note: Its not small even for a Genny in the middle of their range and is a two-person lift, so plan on ordering a Wheel kit (the 5300DF does not come w/ wheels) if you plan on treating it as a "portable" unit. All in all i'm very satisfied and glad i purchased!

Bought this as a home backup generator. Dual fuel is a great option considering during hurricane Sandy gas was not available in our area. Manual even includes part numbers and schematic. Just ran to according to brake in procedures and started up without a problem. Very happy with this purchase.
