Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT DEWALT 5600 Starting / 4500 Running Watt Gasoline Single fuel Portable Generator

Stopped working

We were boondocking in our RV. Stopped working on day 4. Lowes has a 48 hour return so we had to go thru Dewalt, but it's actually a Generex so referred there. They made us bring it to a local shop for diagnosis. The oil was dry. We had put the full bottle it came with day of purchase. They said it must have shut itself off to protect the engine, did an oil change & it runs (they cannot guaratee it wont burn through it again). They will not warraty it after 48 hours even though it stopped workin...

Great value

This generator is ideal for home use - and can be used for powering a refrigerator or small appliances. Runs on gasoline and contains an auto shut off. Is a bit loud but for all the positives it is easily overlooked

Great generator at a great price

I bought this following hurricane Isaias at the Waveland Ms location as all the Lowe's in our area of the Florida Panhandle were out of brand name generators. The generator was very easy to assemble and started immediately and ran until the fuel ran out.

Never Buy a Generator from Lowes

failed after 4 days. oil burned up. Lowes would not take it back. called manufacturer, had to drop off at a local shop, it was burning oil, then we had to call back, sit on hold 45 min, talk to another person, she had to call us back. Still waiting. Will NEVER buy a generator from Lowes again.

Absolutely love this….

Bought this for home backup. Ran flawlessly, not nearly as loud as expected. Very fuel efficient if not running at maximum.This is a highly recommended generator for many many uses.

Pretty good

Super easy to assemble and it comes with the oil needed for it as well as instructions. I only turned it on for a couple of hours and it charged my phone fine. We charged the tablets and plugged a few more things on it. No issues turning it on. Definetly small enough to be portable.. I definitely like it for emergency and or for any around the house work need.

PERFECT

GREAT PICKUP

Easy assembly

This generator was pretty easy to assemble straight out of the box and includes everything you’ll need except gas! Oil/funnel are included and assembling the handle, wheels, and feet that support the generator was easy and didn’t take long. The 10 hour run time is impressive, but hopefully I never need it that long! Looking forward to using this generator years to come since it’s a Dewalt.

Well made, Solid and Helpful generator

Well-made and solid generator with several helpful and life-saving features. Helpful as run time counter that lets you know how much longer it anaticpates running at current wattage and the wattage meter that shows how how close your power demand is to the generators capacity. Life saving as in the CO2 sensor that auto shuts off the generator if a significant amount of CO2 is detected (most people will use it outside and never need it but someone will be saved by this) I found the size to be ...

Good buy

Just what I needed and then some. Fired right up and ran the air conditioning plus 2 freezers which saved all our meat.

Great Buy

Easy assembly and start. During a power outage this generator saved the day. Sump pump was able to clear out 8 inches of water. The generator ran with no draw issues. Thank you dewalt for another great product

DeWalt has you covered

I have been fortunate enough not to "have to use" the generator over any other options, but I will tell you this: if there's an electrical outage or emergency need this thing will easily keep you going. As a standalone tri-fuel generator it's quite the workhorse!! Very minimal set-up and you're ready to light up the neighborhood or campground, or maybe you just need to run your concession trailer for the day. Seems very well thought out and while I'm replacing a 30 year old unit it still has som...

A solid dependable generator that handled my power tool testing well, was reasonably manageable from my wheelchair and had acceptable noise levels for an open frame generator.

Overall, I’ve been very satisfied with the DeWalt DXGNR4500. The generator started easily once I became familiar with the starting procedure, ran smoothly and handled the power tool loads I tested without a problem. The controls are straightforward and easy for me to access from my wheelchair, and I found the generator more manageable to operate than I initially expected. During my noise testing at approximately 10 and 25 feet, the generator was certainly noticeable, as you would expect from an ...

Keep Sane & Safe During Power Outages

This is a gamechanger for living in an area that goes through power safety shutoffs. It saved our entire fridge from spoiling all the food we had just bought during a recent shutoff. We can power our entire kitchen and living room during power outages and it is easy to move around the exterior of our home with the wheels and handle. I am a female and only 5'1" and I can easily maneuver it myself. We are extremely happy with this product!

Powerful and reliable with tri-fuel versatility

This tri-fuel generator has already come in handy twice in one week and has saved my two freezers full of deer meat in addition to the refrigerator full of food. It arrived nearly fully assembled and only required around 15-20 minutes of basic setup such as the wheels, handle, and feet. The generator has some pretty amazing features such as the CO protect auto shutdown, low oil shutdown, and if your home has a natural gas line, you're able to hook this up to your home supply without worrying abo...

Easily movable solid/sturdy generator

The Dewalt generator was capable of running my miter saw, air compressor and just for fun some of my Halloween animatronics with no problem. It's easily moved from spot to spot with the large wheels and foldable handle, which to be honest I was initially concerned with trying to get it off the pallet to build it. Since I don't have a truck I did not have the opportunity to try lifting it up, but it's 200lbs without fuel. I have not needed to run it for any length of time yet but it'll get a w...

Best suited for homeowner or contractor who wants feature laden, safe portable generator with well designed, meaningful features.

1. OVERVIEW & SETUP This generator is rated at 7.0 kW for NG (10.5 kW gasoline / 8.5 LPG), capable of handling 25% more in surge. It is priced very competitively for its quality and functionality. My main interest is to be able to power most of my house for sustained periods without worry of gasoline supply, as we experienced for 21 cold days during Sandy. This generator will enable me to stop storing and managing 30 gallons of emergency gasoline each year. The 250lb box is 29” wide, 23 1/...

The DeWalt Portable Generator is powerful and dependable!

This DeWalt Portable Generator is well-built and provides plenty of power for my needs! It was easy to set up and start, and the controls are straightforward to use. The wheels were easy to add on and setting up with the propane was a breeze! One note to add is the generator is heavy so moving it may take some effort but overall it’s a solid dependable home backup power for emergencies!

Rock solid and easy usability

Generator is rock solid. The frame it’s in and the wheels make it super easy to move. Handle locks up and down. All the controls are clearly marked. Plenty of plugs and it starts cold on a single pull. It’s as loud as I would expect and runs steady even under load. Took 20 min to assemble and get running out of the box. This will be the go to emergency prep that everyone should have.
