I bought my generator on 09/25/20. I love the electric start due to the fact I am a 70 year old female and do not have the strength I use to have to manually start it, however a male family member did on the first pull. I ran it for an hour with no load as instructed and it ran perfectly. I now have peace of mind that in an emergency I won't lose food in my freezer and have enough wattage to power everything I want.
Bought this Generator after the summer's fires here in Oregon that knocked out our electricity for several days. The 5300S included all the parts that are often extra on other brands. This includes the battery, engine oil, good wheels, and even a quick inline disconnect for the battery. It has all the features that are important. This a generator that is built to last for years.
Purchased the 5300S as a back up for my pellet stove, refrigerator, and chest freezer as we have little ones and the winters can be harsh. It powers everything perfectly with plenty left over for some lights and a TV. With the 240V option I can also run my electric water heater for showers/baths! Wonderful machine that was a breeze to set up and started immediately with one push of the button. 11/10!
I purchased this as a just in case. I hope I never have to use it. The reviews were the reason I purchased this generator. I will add more when or if I have cause to fire this up.
Bought this last week after "Sally" came through. My brother had given me an old generator of his that was very loud. Noise spec on this was much better. Put is together, filled with oil and gas and ran it for the hour break-in. Hopefully will not need for a long time.
