I recently purchased 5300DFcv after reading many reviews and also in the last month not having anything to provide power to my home for over 4 days due to weather issues. Again a great decision
Bought this unit home last night, easy to put together, I tad heavy getting it out of the box. So far started right up using both the electric start and plug cord. As of right now playing with this unit I can only think of two possible product improvements. (one ) is there is nothing in either the starting procedure or power management that tells you to insure that the Main Circuit Breaker is on ( #3 of Control Panel ) (two) I would have liked to have a protective sleeve on battery connector (not terminal ) in my case there is a small gap and I'm concerned it could be a source of contamination (so I wrapped a piece of electrical tape around it) Everything else good Happy so Far
