  • Could have easily been 5 stars, but.....update
Although not a Prime distributor the Inverter was received quickly (less than five days from order), well packaged and all accessories noted were included (the extra long LP hose is a benefit). Ran a 3 hour break in including bring the load to 50% of capacity for 1 hour and 75% of capacity for a couple minutes for a Db check. Surprisingly quiet for a budget minded Generator/Inverter of this size 55.3 Db in Eco and 64.5 Db under high speed load. SO why only 3 stars? when I was researching options I found where the 4,000 watt unit had a oil drain tube installed (expected/assumed) the 5,500 would have the same...nope! Oil change procedure from the manual attached, Run engine until warm, remove oil fill cap, turn unit on side to drain oil...WTH! Not only will this be messy but it's extremely environmental unfriendly. If I had know this there's a good chance I would have selected a different MFG. Going to Harbor Freight and picking up a fluid transfer pump to change the oil. First power outage use proved this is the little Inverter that can. Supplied enough power to run two fridges, two freezers, multiple fans an lights and a Pit Boss 1600 pellet smoker. ... show more

  • Saved in the nick of time by Bilt Hard
When I noticed hurricane Ian was going to make a near direct hit on my area, I decided to buy a generator. I didn't expect it to arrive on time and the ETA on amazon was a day late (after the hurricane it would most likely have been delayed even longer) For some reason my date was moved up, and fedex worked late to deliver my generator in the middle of the storm only hours before I lost power. I'm very happy with both bilt Hard and fedex. Now I've had basic generators in the past, dual fuel is a must, it's so much cleaner to use propane, but in a hurricane really helps to have the ability to use either (whichever is available). I wanted an inverter to ensure no damage to my electronics but didn't realize they were much more fuel efficient and quieter. For the price this inverter generator was a great deal only about 50% more than an equal standard generator. the features are great with all the plugs and power needed to run my room AC, fridge, TC, and several electronics. 1 20lb tank of propane lasted me about 8-10 hours 2 gallons of gas even more. If you find this generator isn't strong enough you can add another in parallel, the electric start is awesome, and it even auto switches fuel depending on what's available. All in all this thing saved me for hurricane Ian and I was going to sell it, but now I think I'll be hanging on to it for the next time. ... show more

  • Initial impressions
Update after first real use.....so I took this out in the field on a 3 day hunting trip. Here's what I learned.....the run time on a full load, even in Eco is at best 7 hours a tank. I had it hooked up to a 26 ft RV running the A/C 24/7 basically. From Thursday evening thru Sunday morning we burned approx. 21 gallons of fuel. That's 21 gallons in roughly 64 hours so a little less than 1 gallon for 3 hours of run time. Granted we had it maxed out, but alot less run time than I anticipated. So let's talk about the max running wattage. We had the generator overload at a minimum of 5 times. Here's what we were powering, the RV A/C, lights, fridge, occasionally the water pump (that seemed to do it most often) an external shop lighting system, 2 floor fans and the RV fridge. I'm not sure what the total wattage was on all that, but at times it was more than the generator could handle. That said, it was very quiet. I ended up setting the generator on a small little shop step ladder to keep it off the ground, I just didnt want to put the intake that close to the ground. I'll do that going forward as well. It's a heavy little unit, but even with gas in it, I can lift it in and out of my truck. All in all I thought it did a good job. The e-start worked great and like I said it was quiet. The biggest downside was the unexpected fuel burn. Take lots of gas or propane if you're going out for several days. I started with 18 gallons and then had to jake a 55 mile round trip to the nearest town to get more gas. So I’ll preface this by saying I just got the generator so I don’t have a long term review as of yet. First off the packing was good and arrived very quickly. The instruction manual is good and an easy read. Nothing I saw about break in for the motor, but I think we all understand it’s a good idea to run it at idle for about an hour or so then change the oil and run it on a load and change the oil again and go (your procedure may vary). It’s a pretty simple generator, but you have to do a couple of small things first before you light it off, especially if you’re using the E-start (which I did). There are 4 brackets underneath the unit that I assume were there for shipping that need to be removed first thing. The enclosed tool kit (which was a pleasant surprise) has the 10mm wrench you can use to do that. It takes about 2 minutes. Then connect the battery to the lead. This compartment is on the front of the unit and requires a flat head screw driver to open the hatch (oddly enough the included tool kit didn’t have a flat head screwdriver in it, at least mine didn’t and that seemed like a silly oversight). Next the oil, the side hatch for that is opened with your fingers so no issue there. The oil dipstick filler cap is orange plastic. It lasted exactly 1 removal and the. Wouldn’t go back on due to bad threading. The threading on the filler cap is total crap, or at least mine was. Fortunately, I also purchased a metal magnetic filler cap at the same time so I just swapped it out right then and there. I highly recommend that small additional purchase. Besides, a magnetic filler cap will collect small pieces of metal the engine makes, especially a new engine when it’s breaking in. Ok so now we have the battery connected, oil in the crankcase and about 1/2 tank of gas in the unit. Turn off Eco mode, move the 3 in 1 dial past run to the start position and push the red lever like button thingy in on the dial. It coughed for a second then lit right off. It loped for a minute of two until the fuel was flowing steady then settled into a nice quiet hum. I’ve never had a quiet generator so to me it was truly remarkable how quiet it was. I mean it’s really quiet. Now granted Im accustomed to my 10000 watt generator/welder when it is running so you might have a different reaction to the noise level. Still, I was talking on the phone about 15 feet away from it and I really couldn’t even hear it. That was at idle, when I connected various tools to it to run it up I still couldn’t hear the generator over the tool that was running. It’s really that quiet. My only 2 knocks on the generator so far is the oil filler cap and the lack of covers for the electrical outlets. The latter I knew about of course when I purchased the unit, but still how hard would it be to add 3 plastic covers on during assembly? In order to protect the unit while not in use I also purchased a WEN generator cover (not expensive at all) and it fits like a glove. Oh, more more thing. The metal oil filler cap I used was really hot. I waited about 10 minutes after I shut it down to remove it and it was still hot so wear gloves or give it a little more time before removing it during break in. I’ll be taking it out in the field next week and it’ll be hooked up to a 30’ rv running everything including the A/ C so I’ll update with gas only run times and anything else that is notable. I’m sort of curious how the bottom air intake is going to handle being that close to the grass and dirt. That’s a potentially big negative if it starts sucking up all kinds of crud. ... show more
