It looks good with nice features like the electric start and no need for a battery charger since this unit charges as it runs just like your vehicle but even if you have to use the recoil pull option its really easy to pull n starts on about the 2nd pull so its easy enough for just about anyone to start it,not real loud either so if you have a shed or something to store n run it in you won't be bothered by noise,the digital read out is really nice feature to.

I just purchased this generator for home backup protection. I live near Houston and we have hurricanes and flooding issues. Went through the setup process and it started on first try. I noticed two thing right away. It was quieter and lighter than expected for a unit with this power rating. After running it for an hour, I hooked up several items and it seem to handle them with ease. Only item in question was the fuel gauge. It did not register any change at all. At this point I am assuming it did not register because I only put a half a gallon of gas in the tank for testing purposes. Next time I'll fill the tank up completely and increase the load. I'll update this post should I have any additional observations at that time.I am pleased with what I have seen so far.

Did extensive research. No other deal can match this. Very pleased with the first peek after box opening - fine workmanship on a beautiful piece. Installed easily without reading instructions. Already installed the inlet, circuit breaker and interlocker before the purchase. Can't wait for the first power outage now. lol

I bought this mainly for my camper. It has a very convenient outlet for campers so I do not have to use an adapter. I have only used it twice so far but I am very happy with this generator. It runs everything in the camper with no issues. I am also very impressed with how quiet it runs. I have used similar generators in the past but this is the quietest by far. Very happy with this purchase and I have already recommended it to friends.

I bought this unit after a 3day power outage from hurricane Zeta for the next emergency. the unit was easy to set up and cranked on the first pull. Ran it it for about one half hour and it was smooth and relatively quiet. I hope that having it will be insurance against future prolonged outages.

I have completed the final assembly; I found the supplied documentation to be very complete and easy to follow. After final setup, adding engine oil, fuel & connecting the battery, the unit started right-up & ran smoothly. I am very pleased so far & would gladly recommed this unit as a portable or back-up power source for home or other uses.

Genset arrived in pristine condition, easy to set up. Very portable and space-efficient for how imposing this bad boy is with well designed handle, very smooth. Most importantly, started right up with fuel and oil check. Surprisingly quiet for the power rating. Transfer switch was an essential feature for me.

The generator was easily assembled and started right up using the recoil starter. The generator holds a load and the electrician will install it today on the house transfer switch. I bought the 5300s because it has electric start and unfortunately the battery was dead on arrival. Working to resolve issue.

I received this Generator 2 days after ordering it. It was packed extremely well for shipping. The only things that needed done after it was unpacked was put on the wheels, add oil, plug in the battery and fill the gas tank. After that it fired right up. i would recommend this generator. it is a high quality product.

Overall solid generator for the frame size. We purchased this one over the next step up due to the big jump in weight. My wife didn't like the idea of moving a generator almost 200 lbs. This one has good power, easy to move around, and the electric start makes it a snap to get up an running. Only took 10 minutes to install the feet/wheels, put the oil in (funnel & oil included, thank you), and connect the battery. The only reason for not giving this 5 stars is due to a couple minor non-functional/cosmetic issues. There a scratch on the blue front panel that was touched up with non-matching paint and the rubber feet are not at the same level so one pad is off the ground. On one of the feet the metal bend seemed off and when torqueing the bolt down it interfered with bend likely causing the whole foot to move when torqued down. Again, very minor.
