Assembly was quick. Pull-start worked on first attempt. Runs more quietly than any generator I have had. Doesn't strain under load. Will hopefully provide us with back-up power for many years to come. Great Product! (New England power outages are frequent. This summer we were without power for 9 days after Tropical Storm Isaias.)

In 2020 I purchased 3 generators (one at a time) to be shipped to me. Each one had either manufacturing or shipping defects. So I was a little wary of ordering another one online. BUT THIS TIME IT WORKED !! The generator arrived when promised, assembly was very simple (more so than the 3 previous ones), and I added oil and gas, and on the second pull, I was SOOO HAPPY, AND THE PRICE WAS RIGHT!!

I ordered a generator and it was supposed to come in may 5 but it arrived 4 days earlier! When I was looking at the instructions it was easy to read. It also comes with very informational Guides that tell you all about the generator and how to maintain it. Overall very happy with my purchase!

Very happy with generator so far. Initial set up instructions were clear and easy to follow. Generator started easily and powered a few test loads with no problem. Noise level was a bit higher than expected, which is only reason for rating of 4 instead of 5.

This was purchased due to frequent power loss here in the back country. This genset is perfect for what I need. It has the outlet that enables energizing all circuits and can be used for an RV and power equipment far from my house. Easy electric starting, easy maintenance and quiet operation.

The 5300V replaces a 25 year old Generac 4000XL. The extra power will help energize an additional circuit on my transfer switch. A little difficult adding oil with the supplied hose, best to use a fluid pump. Initially started and ran rough, but determined it just needed at "least" a gallon of gas to smooth out. The meter provides voltage, frequency and hours. These are important to ensure proper maintenance. Needed to buy a meter to determine the old generator was out of spec for frequency. The first tell was flickering incandescent bulbs. Very satisfied with the build quality, all nuts and bolts tight. Removing the ground jumper was also very easy. Overall, I would recommend this generator, specially at the price.

After looking at many different generators my husband said this is exactly the one for us. It has enough watts for our needs. Starts easily on the first pull or instantly with the electric starter switch. Legs and wheels were very easy to install. Good price

Luckily I have only needed to use this one time since I purchased it but it was easy to start and use I have used it several other times just because. When the power went out, working from home was going to be a challenge. But this thing saved the day.

I am very pleased with this generator. This is a very well made product with a sturdy frame and all the electrical outlets I would ever need. With heavy duty wheels and handle too. The motor is easy starting and runs smoothly. The operation manual is excellent - very inclusive. As a former tech writer, I'm impressed with the well written English text and easy to follow headings and illustrations. There's even a section on removing the generator form the box. This is an excellent product for the money.

Good value and light weight. It will not do 120 volt and 240 volt at the same time. Selecting 240 volt to use the twist lock plug turns off the 120 volt plugs You must be very careful moving as the handle does not lock and it will get away from you and land on the generator end. I think this may lead to a safety recall in the future. It happen to me the second time I moved it. Overall I really like generator.
