Well satisfied with this item. I previously had a Craftsman but this generator offers more features than I expected. I went to the warranty agreement and am very satisfied with it for the next three years.
I purchased the 5300 a month ago and considering everything going on in the world right now I do believe this is a great comfort knowing that with one pull I will have power and heat in my home.
I just bought this last week, so have not used it in a power outage. I wanted an electric start, my other generator was a manual, getting older. I run it for the one hour break in. Seems to work fine.
