Bought in anticipation of Hurricane season. Connected by Electrician directly to Well. Went with Electric start for 1st time. Easy operation depicted, but time will tell. Arrived with small "dent" in top cage bar, but generator itself not effected (hopefully).
Good generator but having a little trouble with it

Purchased less than a month ago, change oil frequently and use proper gasoline but having trouble starting sometimes. Called their help desk and they are very friendly but problem still not quite resolved. Overall, happywith purchase.
This one purchased after our previous one was stolen from the garden shed. These 5300 units are great. It has never failed to start and run for hours. Output is more than adequate to run refrigerator, freezer, furnace fan and home lighting.
I purchased as a backup for the, more frequent than I like, outages. This unit runs my fridge, mini-split heat pump, internet, tv, some lights, and my garage door circuit. I appreciate that it came with the exact amount of oil needed, and the adaptor/funnel that screws directly into the crankcase. Starting with the included battery is about as easy as it gets. I hope to get many years of service out of this generator, and have no reason to believe I won't.
