This is a generator.

I haven't had an occasion to use it just yet, but it was easy to put together. It came with a cool little funnel thing for putting in the oil. It's nice to know that when the Trump supporters start wrecking more than the capitol, I'll have the ability to keep my insulin cool.

Dual Fuel is the way to go.

We got this generator to keep the lights on and the food cold; because of all the Bomb Cyclones and atmospheric rivers coming through California. It is a little load, but I haven't had any problems w/ it doing what it was supposed to do. It burns approx. 1/2gal of propane an hour. Like the wheels and foldable handle for moving.

Great Machine

Haven’t used this yet, but we bought it because we borrowed a Westinghouse 5300 just like it to get us through a power failure, and it worked really well. Ran two fridges, fans, TV & lights and still had power to spare. Easy to start and it ran 9 hours on a 20 lb. tank of propane. I highly recommend this machine.

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.

Works great

Bought this generator yesterday. Put oil in it, hooked it up to propane and it started right up. Ran the break in period yesterday, hooked it up to my RV today. Had enough power to run both my AC and microwave. Very pleased and cannot wait to have it on my hunting trip next month.

Best Purchase Ever!

We purchased this generator in March and was one of the best things we have done. We live in rural Arkansas and there are always power outages due to weather in winter and summer. On Saturday June 17th we had a small tornado and high winds that took out power lines and trees. We were with out power till Tuesday evening. With the help of the generator we were able to run the freezer and fridge and small appliances. What a great relief and a much necessary item we purchased.

Quick and easy set and use

Set up was quick and easy, put on 2 feet and 2 wheels, install oil with provided funnel. Wish the funnel, which screws in(nice feature) was a tad longer. Put i 4 gallons of gas , set choke, 3 pulls and it fired right up. Supplies all that I need for temp power outage. 2 standard house plugs, 1 RV plug, 1 quick connect (which with a converter cable from big box store will get you 3 more standard household plugs. I ran a small room heater, gameconsole, internet modem and cell phone charges no issues. Great addition to my security in case of a power outage.

Great power output

Bought to replace RV generator. After breaking in, I tested it by connecting it to the RV and running the 15,000 BTU A/C along with microwave plus coffeemaker and lights. Output on volt meter dropped by only one point. This should work very well for dry camping. Easy to start and easy assembly. Very pleased with my purchase! Already recommended this unit to my neighbor who is planning to purchase a generator.

Wonderful and Powerful Product

We bought this after doing an extensive research on all generators. We live in South Texas and unfortunately experience many hurricanes in our past and also we’ve had unfortunate power roll outs. We’re so happy to have this and not have to spend money on hotels or having to bother family members. Very powerful!

Good Generator for the price

I've used this once during a power outage so far. It is powerful enough to run what I need it too during an outage and I like the duel fuel feature so I can run it off of a 100lbs propane tank. Very nice little generator for the price. Can certainly tell when my well pump kicks on, bogs it down momentarily with the high surge watts needed to power the pump.
