Powerful Portable Generator
on May 18, 2025
Posted by: TGM3
from Springfield, MO
I bought this generator after having an off-brand gen for 5 years. The 5300 with a peak watt 6500 is able to 5x15 and 1x30 sub panel breaker box with ease. I have had to use it twice in the past month, once for 5 days and then for ~36 hours due to storms in the Midwest. I am able to run basics like computers, televisions, furnace 2 refrigerators, deep freezer....as well as major wattage items like coffee maker, microwave, washer and dryer at same time. Past generators have tripped fuses if we dared trying to use 2 major appliance at same time.I haven't tried propane yet, but 4.7gal gas tank runs ~8 hours
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased the 5300DFcv, completed the initial setup process. Completed a 360 inspection, followed by Oiling the unit, wheel installation, fueling and finally starting the unit. Started on the second pull, no hesitation.

Bought it a month ago and have been very happy with it. I like that I can use gas or propane.

EASY solution to keep power running
on May 18, 2025

After the last power outage of 8 hours in 10 degree weather, this generator was top on my list for preparedness. Reasonable price, needed wattage for my house, 20/30 amp, 120/240 - perfect for my home needs. Setup was a breeze, no instructions needed to install wheels and dampers. Adsed the included oil, waited to add fuel until I slowly cycled the pull starter 10 times to get oil to internals. Added a gallon of fuel, turned on the run switch and choke, started on the FIRST PULL. Turned choke off after about 45-50 seconds, engine smoothed out and the voltage hit 120 and leveled in maybe 5 seconds. Flipped to 240, hit voltage in 5 seconds. Let it run another minute, switched back to 120, leveled off in 5 seconds. LOVE the threaded oil funnel and the included 4 stroke oil was exactly the correct amount. As I stated, this generator could not have been easier to set up and get running. WELL worth the price and I don't have to worry about power outages any more.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dual Fuel Generator
on May 18, 2025

from Houston, TX
I purchased this generator prior to hurricane season. Last year we were without power after 2 major storms. What made me select this generator was the fact that it is Dual Fuel - both gasoline and propane. When the power is out in our area, we cannot always get gas. It is nice to have the option to use propane.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this and hadn't tried it. I had a power outage and set it up with propane. It wouldn't start. I'm going to try customer service.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
