Exceeded my expectations
San Antonio, TX
Been using this for about a month now and so far the electric start hasn’t given us any trouble at all. The electric start is fine — just don’t expect anything extraordinary.

Worth the money
Austin, TX
Bought this for my brother-in-law, and the overall reliability on this generator has genuinely impressed me. Wheel kit mobility is where this generator really stands out.

Solid ease of starting
Karachi
The power output alone makes this generator worth it. The wheel kit mobility does the job, though I wish it were a bit better.

Solid power output
Boston, MA
First impressions: The weight works better than I expected going in. What stood out most to me was the overall reliability. Shipping was quick and it arrived well packaged.

Pretty average overall
Paris
I’d say the noise level is about average for this price range. My biggest gripe is the weight, which underperforms a little.

Happy with the noise level
New Orleans, LA
It’s rare to find a generator where the power output actually lives up to the listing. I’ve used other DEWALT equipment before and this one fits right in. Even my son noticed how good the weight is.

Okay for now
Reno, NV
So far, not blown away by the control panel layout, but it’s serviceable. The control panel layout was the one part of this generator that didn’t quite meet expectations.

Good value
Bozeman, MT
I did a lot of research before buying, and I wasn’t expecting the wheel kit mobility to be this good for the price. One thing I really appreciate is the power output. Compared to what we had before, the weight is a big step up. The box showed up a couple days earlier than the estimate.

Happy with the electric start
Baton Rouge, LA
As someone who’s used a few of these before, runtime per tank has held up well after regular use. The wheel kit mobility is acceptable, though a couple of the reviews online oversold it a little. With 8000 Watt on paper, it delivers pretty much what I expected in practice.

Middle of the road
Philadelphia, PA
We’ve had this since fall and ease of starting took a little getting used to at first. Had a minor issue with the runtime per tank that I had to work around myself.
