This was bought after knowing we were going to be without power for a few days. I was quite happy with the initial opening and setup (very easy). I got it up and running quickly with no issues. I had to work the following day and had to tell my wife how to stop and restart it and she was quite happy with the ease of it.

We bought this in preparation for another winter power outage in Texas. We bought this for the dual fuel feature combined with the nice specs. While testing, we were able to run all of our lights (LED), both gas heaters in our 3000 sqft house, all 7 ceiling fans, both refrigerators, all of our TV's and game systems, both pool pumps AND charge our electric car at 3 miles per hour. We did this all on using propane and we had around 500 watts left till maximum running rating for propane. The generator worked well for heavy testing and we are feeling prepared in case ERCOT has any issues during winter this year.

I bought it 2 weeks ago to replace my old gas generator because I wanted to run on propane. I live at 7000' so I needed to order the high altitude kit. I installed it Saturday and broke in the generator. Sunday afternoon, the power was out. I fired it up and ran the cords. My next step is to install a transfer switch so I don't have to string cords through the house.

Bought my generator three days ago it was easy to put together in less than 10 minutes fired it up with propane let it run for a short time with a small load of 2000 watts. I was impressed at how quiet it was and very little noise level change after hooking up small appliances to test. Right now without long-term usage I would recommend this generator with confidence

I PURCHASED THIS GENERATOR FOR AFTER HURRICANE LAURA, I WAS ABLE TO RUN 2 REFRIGERATOR 2 110 AIR CONDITIONERS, BIG TV AND LIGHTS. I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT AND THE PRICE WAS GREAT ALSO. I RAN IT FOR ALMOST 5 DAYS AND ONLY USED 5 GALONS OF GAS AND 1/2 OF A 100 LB PROPAIN BOTTLE. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS GENERATOR.

I got this for two reasons, to run tools and to run my camper about a month ago. When I first started it up it took me only 2 pulls. That has been the case every time since when cold. When warm it is only ever one pull. It is louder than my quiet generator, but still much quieter than most other generators that compare in size. Operation is very simple and I love the ability to change from 120-240. Instructions were great as well. When I put this generator under load it hardly even seems to bog down at all. It has run for 11 hours and I can't wait to keep using it. It is too heavy to load by yourself, but that's to be expected.

Bought as back-up power being I live in hurricane country. I did my homework and decided on this generator. It started right up and runs very quietly for a generator of this size. I'm getting my house wired today so I can plug it in and not have to run wires. The ability to connect my house to the generator was a key factor in making the purchase as well. Also, the fact that it can run on propane is a plus.

The 5300 Dual Fuel generator is very user friendly with all controls being very easily identified as to what their function is, and operating instructions are very visible on the generator itself and easy to understand. The wheels are sturdy and of sufficient size to make moving the generator quite easy, and the folding handles allow the generator to occupy less storage space. I chose this generator with a pull-type starter so that I would not have to be concerned about keeping a battery charged on a generator with electric start. I follow the starting instructions and the generator has consistently started on the third pull, even when starting cold. I am pleased with my purchase.

Needed to replace old gas only generator; so glad I chose this value priced option after researching for days. Easy set up (quick start guide was perfect) and after adding oil (thank God for the enclosed funnel) and seamlessly connecting the propane tank this started up the first time on just 3 pulls. What a peace of mind for the next inevitable power loss in our area. Considering this generator? Don’t hesitate - get it now. You won’t be sorry.

Bought this a couple of weeks ago. Setup went smoothly and runs well. Have wanted a dependable backup for some time since we are in a rather remote area. Seems like it will provide sufficient power for our emergency needs, and operation is solid and fairly quiet. I may consider it excellent after the next power outage, but I haven't fully tested its capacity yet.
