Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Light weigh and easy to maneuver around. Hooked up the battery, turned on the choke and gas valve.

Power outages in my area are rare and typically last less than two hours. The voltage reader on the generator is very useful so you can see if getting full voltage on either 120 or 240. It is a generator that can poweryour house in a emergency--runnin... Read More

Great quality, easy to setup and get working, and fantastic value. Priced very fairly.

Size and potability are perfect. Super sturdy. Very happy with the size and maneuverability and would buy again.

The only down side is that it could be quieter but it is a large generator wgen5300s. Times are changing rapidly, prices are astronomical for food and fuel. It's much quieter than our old 5500w/8000surge generator and it’s about 60 lbs lighter.

Cons

Obviously from the forklift operator making a mistake.

Shipping

It looked like the shipping company kicked the generator down a flight of stairs before sending to my house.

I don’t like how it was banged up during shipping.

Packaging/appearance

Came equipped with everything needed right out of the box.

Competitiveness

I am using it to pump a well with a 2hp motor and needed a 30 amp twist lock outlet.

It ran about 12 hours on 4 gallons of gas while maintaining a refrigerator, freezer , indoor lighting and a 8000btu ac unit !

It is a 50amp camper plug in but the 30 amp plug in worked fine.
