As soon as I unboxed my new generator my power went out! The assembly was very easy. We had our unit up and running within 20 minutes. A little loud but it got the job done. I was very impressed with the quick start. I would highly recommend this product.

Bought this generator for my elderly mother. Working like a charm so far! Easy to set up, engine starts like a dream (using the electric start, which was a MUST for her, and which frequently doesn't work on most generators), and gives an amazing amount of runtime for its gas consumption. I've also heard that the customer service team is excellent, though luckily I have had no need to test that for myself.
One minor issue: The exhaust pipe is covered, and surrounded by a spark arrestor frame. So while I really want to add an extension to funnel exhaust completely out of the shed, I don't have enough available pipe to clamp an extension onto. I get why the team capped and covered the pipe, but this is an issue for a generator that produces a *huge* amount of carbon monoxide - like, it will fill a small space instantly with fumes that can kill you quickly.
Just recieved our 5300 and love it so far. Easy to service and appreciate the easy identifiable instructions printed ON the generator for an easy start/shutdown. Decently light for a portable mid size and has retractable hauling handle to pull generator around. Built sturdy and good quality. Look forward to using.
