Came Damaged

Think unit was dropped. Frame bent and could not fold out the towing handle for moving it around. Had to unbolt it then put it back. Also air cleaner body had crack in it. Put gas in and it leaked all over the unit. The gas line hose had a hole in it where it connects to the sediment cup/shut off. Was able to clip the hose past the hole and reinstall. Too much trouble to return so will use as is. Other than the above it seem to run fine and started right up.

Easy Operation

I bought this for back up power for projected storm power outages…haven’t had a generator for 30 plus years, this will meet my needs as I am too old to tolerate extended outages..it’s easy to operate and has multiple power ports. It’s duel fuel and comes with propane connections, an oil fill tube and spark plug wrench. I will have to purchase the necessary power cords. It has wheels and a drag handle..

Great features!

It arrived quickly! Three days to be delivered. Easy to unpack. Clear directions for wheel assembly and start up. I especially like the features of the three types of cable connections. House, RV, and job site connectors make this generator a versatile item. Started right up and runs quieter than expected . Would recommend this product.

Easy to Use

I just got hit by a 14-hour power outage. That was my first time putting the generator to test. It performed very well. I have it hooked to a 6-circuit panel running 2 furnaces, my kitchen including all appliances, my family room and 2 bedrooms. I would definitely recommend it.

Nice generator for small home emergency backup

I purchased this generator to use for emergency backup of essential circuits in my home. I have a small 1,500SF home and this 5300 watt unit is the perfect size to run my refrigerator, boiler, computer equipment and verizon router, some kitchen appliances and a few lights. I chose it for watt capacity and weight/size. It has a smaller engine than other models and weighs a little over 100 Lbs which is no problem to transport from the garage to a spot in the yard. To have an easy to use backup system, I also installed a Reliance transfer switch (also purchased on Amazon). The unit was well packed and arrived in perfect condition. After installing the wheels and feet, reading the operating manual and putting in some gas and oil, it started right up with the electric start. I've done a pull-the-plug test in my home and everything worked perfectly. I'm ready for another power outage if it comes along. The one negative comment I have is very minor; the graphic on start switch is is mis-labeled - easy enough to deal with. I would definitely recommend this product for someone with a small home and only a few home appliances to run in an emergency.

Awesome

We bought our generator a few days ago. It came to us damaged but works GREAT. We already received a discount for the damaged. We do not blame anyone but the delivery company for the damage. We love the color. It supplied power to my husbands Man Cave. TV, AMPS A/C unit lights. It’s AWESOME.

G5300W Portable Generator, Great Buy and Reliable

I bought this generator this week and love it. The price point compared to other brands was competitve and has a greater running and peak watt rate. Also love that it is dual gas and propane incase you do not have access to one. The wheels and handle make it very eay to roll around to get into a proper position for powering things up. Would buy again!

Perfect Appliance for my home

I just bought this generator a week ago and we had a storm and lost power. I fired up the generator and ran both refrigerators and some light in my home. This is a perfect back up. The assembly was easy and the unit is compact and does not take up much storage space.

Great Generstor

I bought this generator today. I’m in Kansas and a large winter storm is approaching. This summer we went 72-hours without power. Lost everything in the fridge Ang freezer. With this generator I can power fridge gas furnace or whatever. It’s heavy but manageable once assembled.

After a little thinking.

I pick this up yesterday assembled it. Turned on the gas set chock went to connect battery, there was gas running from the carburetor. Did not try to start it. So today went out tapped the carburetor, turned on the gas again this time no gas linking, connected battery, fired right up no problems runs great.
