  • Fairly quiet and powerful
This thing is pretty quiet and provides all the power I need. I love the dual fuel. I haven't used gasoline in it as I don't want it sitting up and "gumming" the carburetor. That's why I picked the dual fuel. Propane is far less likely to cause carburetor issues. Even using propane, it is strong enough to power my camper with two A/Cs, water heater, extra outdoor lights and even a circular saw for a little maintenance. ... show more

  • Good generator
This is a good generator for the price. It's alot quieter than I thought it would be. I'll be using it to run my trailer with air conditioning this summer. It started right up on propane and I ran it for a few hours to break it in and then changed the oil. Changing the oil is a pain. Have to turn it on it's side and it makes a big mess if you miss the oil pan. Wish they would include a screw-in funnel like my Westinghouse did as it would make it a lot easier and less messy. But overall it's a great generator for the price. I would definitely buy one again. ... show more

  • Excellent Genny
Size: 5500W
I run this pretty much 5 days a week for at least 4-5 hrs and does it with ease. This runs an air compressor, 5 HP shop vac together with ease. The push start has worked great! Make sure you connect the wires to the battery so it's connected to the starter! I found out the hard way lol

  • Works Great
My 5500w Generator arrived in the box, pretty much ready to go! Added oil which was no bid deal. Got it ready to go and it started on the FIRST PULL! Went through the warm up steps, starting with a light load, medium load and then let it run under a harder load of items plugged in. It worked great! The noise is much quieter than my previous generator. I do love that it has plastic sides to help with the noise and the look of the unit. The handle is great as well! It's a wonderful little generator! I would definitely buy again. ... show more

  • Inexpensive solution
An inverter generator is a must have for the newer refrigerators as they can come packed with sensitive high end electronics. The Bilt Hard inverter generator solved several issues for me. Most importantly it provides cleaner electrical power for all the digital gadgets and appliances we have. Our old Nikota 3500w generator was just a down and dirty machine. It got the job done and still operates flawlessly after 14 hurricane seasons. The Bilt Hard is fairly quiet even before you switch to the Eco mode, it comes with a small tool kit to help get it set up, and its smaller than I expected. I just wish there was a better parts break down. Setup/prep only takes a few minutes and it very easy and you're good to go. Don't forget to remove the 4 brackets from the undercarridge. Be sure to have some 10W-30 oil on hand when to set it up. Also you need to be sure to use fuel stabilizer in the gas and you'll need to run it every 90 days for 15-20 minutes, otherwise you'll void the warranty (yes you read that correctly, some of the parts on this generator are under warranty for 2 years). I also purchased the Asurion warranty just to be safe. It's my hope that this is a super easy unit for my wife to be able to use if I'm not available to set it up. Almost forget, there is a charging cable included. My assumption it that it's intended to be just with your vehicles power outlet. I measured a decibel level 67.2 standing next to the unit (less than 3 feet/1 meter) and 47.6 just inside the house with the unit 20 feet from the door with a smal load. The Nikota idled at 76.3 db. Standing next to it. I connected it to my reliance essential curcuits and flipped the switch on 5 of the 6 curcuitsx, one being the refrigerator. I hope that this helps. In closing I'd like to point out that Nikota was a gamble as well and it turned out to be a jewel with regular maintenance (oils changes and spark plug checks). ... show more

  • NOT A GOOD GENERATOR!!!!!
Size: 5500W
I own a mobile bar business that runs out of a small trailer. I bought this generator to run our lights and a small hand-washing sink station, but it can't even do that! It throws codes and shuts down multiple times while in use. I always end up switching to my old geni. We made sure it had enough running watts to run everything and according to the info on it, it should run my trailer just fine. The only nice thing about the generator is that it's quiet. Honestly, I would give this 0 stars for the price I paid and highly suggest getting one that will actually work! ... show more

  • Great generator, great price
Just got 4 of these generators, and so far I am petty impressed. I had previously purchased Champion and Wen. Both of which have been great as well. I highly recommend these... very easy set up. Battery, oil and air filters are very easy to access.

  • Outstanding Product, So Far
I have logged about 100 hours on this generator this winter while living off-grid. I run it about 2 hours per day to charge LiFePO4 batteries which, with an inverter, supply all our electricity needs. We have five generators on the farm, and I know equipment. This is a solid, complex machine and I don't think you want to get into it for repairs, so drain the gas at the end of the season and maintain it as scheduled. It electric-starts instantly on gas. On propane, the pull start would take two people, one to hold the genset and one to pull, but hook up the battery and no problem. If propane is hooked up, turn off the tank before switching to gas or it will try to run on both, selector switch notwithstanding. To those who whine about no oil being shipped with the machine, REALLY? Grow up. Have you considered that shipping a little oil might make the shipping more complicated or expensive? No compensation of any kind was received for this glowing review, since that would be dishonest. ... show more
