Large gas tank capacity for long use

Drop freight shipment of the Dewalt generator 180lbs on a pallet. Thru pure grit I put the wheels on and handle. Setup was a challenge but I did it by myself. I like how the generator uses gas and not a mixture like other engines. While I know that I’ll use it during power outages I can also use the plugs for other outdoors projects where extension cords won’t reach. There are three outlets on the side. Easy to monitor how much gas is still in the tank with gauge on top.

Select a Fuel, Power a House.

You get all of the options at a turn of a dial. This generator is the size of a small refrigerator and arrives strapped to a pallet. It takes two people to lift. Setup includes attaching the wheels, feet and handle, connecting the starter battery and filling the oil. Once assembled, moving it can be done by one person. Noise at idle is about half as loud as a lawnmower which makes it fine in a residential setting. Under load, it responds quickly, getting louder, while meeting the surging dem...

Versatile generator - worth the money!

I needed a generator for the farm, and after a lot of searching I decided to purchase the DeWALT DXGNR6500 6500 watt generator. I was looking for a generator that was easy to load on the tractor, and would supply 120 volts to power my basic power tools when I needed to work on our fences out in the field, but I also wanted to have at least a 30 amp 240 volt outlet available to provide temporary power to a breaker panel in one of our sheds in the event of a power failure. The generator arrived in...

Great generator, fully operational

Worked perfect for our power needs at the park. Setup was easy, took about 15 minutes. The generator itself is user friendly and the design is practical. It does exactly what it is designed to do.

Ease of use even for a beginner. This is my first generator and I feel confident using it as a woman.

This was delivered with everything you need in the box except the fuel source to successfully power anything within its range. The assembly was easy but having 2 people helps, at least until the wheels are on the base but after that- A breeze to set up! I chose propane to try it out for the first time. The video shown was the first time ever running it and it fired right up with no issues!! I can’t wait to use this for outdoor activities like camping or a tailgate! Also, it gives me peace of min...

Large and powerful, easy to use

This is not a small portable generator! But you probably knew that already based on its output. It is a beast, and will drive a ton of equipment. Despite its weight it’s easy to roll around. Probably takes two to get it into a truck. Piece of cake to assemble (20 min?) and to push button start. Quiet on idle mode considering its size. Responds quickly to demand spikes.

Would Recommend

I bought this for the upcoming winter ice storms the South has. Better to have it just in case.

Powerful, reliable generator

Easy assembly with few parts. Generator has plenty of power for refrigerator, central AC, TV. Easy start up, Generator is heavy and can be difficult to maneuver for someone slightly weaker. Large gas tank and about 10 hrs run time.

Good generator, no choke needed for LP

I got this generator to power my home if there’s a multi-day power outage it’s very heavy about 250 pounds but adding the wheels and handle was a breeze. I like some of the indicators on the device which labeled the various switches and why not. I added my own markings as I felt there were a few things missing like indicating that the gas off switch is just for gasoline. When I was reading the instructions, it is very confusing whether or not the generator is charging the battery when it runs....

Well built, easy assembly

This is a really nice generator. Built very solid, nice panel layout and easy to read with the yellow contrast. Pull starts easily. The handle and wheel help tremendously as the generator weighs almost 200 lbs. The plug caps are nice and tight keeping them weatherproof. It hooked up to our existing transfer switch so we could easily swap out our old generator. Assembly was 15 minutes, overall we're very happy.

Fantastic gas generator.

The Dewalt 8750 Gas Generator was super easy to set up. The wheels come with pins and just push right on. The handle was a breeze too and makes moving this very heavy duty generator around much easier. It’s heavy and built tough. Definitely has enough power to get through most black outs. The noise level is a bit louder than expected but not too different from other generators that I have used. The gas tank is a generous size. My only complaint is that the logos are stickers and I seem to be mis...

Excellent portable generator

Super easy to assemble, but it is quite heavy. Has two standard GFCI dual outlet receptacles and a 30 amp NEMA L 14-30 locking receptacle that provides 120 or 240 volts. There is a selector switch to operate at just 120 or both 120 & 240 volts - pretty convenient. Generator is easy to move around with the handle and I don’t think it’s too loud when running - I included a video with it running and powering a fan. Although I would not try to power my house with this generator, you could certain...

Nice, quiet generator

We got this generator because we lose power more than we should. The last time was for only 6 hours, but we have been without power for about 7 days in the past. This is not the most powerful generator, but it will keep my freezer running, my refrigerator cold, and my husband's sleep apnea machine going. It has four standard plugs and an outlet for a dryer. It runs on gas, which is expected. It does come with the necessary oil and funnel. It fired right up. I love that it is not very loud. It is...

You can't go wrong with a DeWalt.

This generator is powerful and well-built to be able to cover all of my needs. It's nice to be able to take it with me far out into the yard, instead of needing to run extension cords all the way out. Plus, it gives me peace of mind knowing it can run my house in case of a power outage. I love the flexibility to operate on gasoline, liquid propane or natural gas. I don't have natural gas but I do always have gasoline and propane available. You have to use gasoline to achieve its peak power thoug...

It's already paid for itself after one power outage

I've been genuinely impressed with this Dewalt generator so far. I got it with intentions to primarily use around my property and it's been a great addition to the tool shed. I've used it on projects where having power available away from the house simply wouldn't be practical. I've used it to power an electric water pump and power a portable air compressor while finishing building a chicken coop. It really came in to save the day about a week after I got it. We had just brought home a side ...

DEWALT generator, a worthwhile purchase

Would Recommend

Great generator to have on hand when storms cause a loss of electricity. After experiencing an extended power outage recently and being in hurricane season bought this to be prepared for the next one. Priced right and delivered quickly!

Died the first day

Would Not Recommend

Purchased due to recent extended power outage as the reviews seemed great. Assembled and struggled to get it started but finally did. Was so loud my family had to wear ear plugs which I thought was really strange. Turned off to add gas and it never started again and I returned the next day (with $40 of gas in it). So far the replacement has worked fine.
