Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT 8750 Starting / 6500 Running Watt Gasoline Single fuel Portable Generator

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

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

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.

Such a great investment

The DeWalt 5600 watt generator is a major upgrade for our home!! it comes with four 120 outlets and a 240 volt outlet,  and it comes with a very handy our meter so you know how long or how many hours it’s been in use. It’s lightweight enough for me to move around the house easily and it’s really not super loud. You’re being a gas power generator. I am so happy about this. Thank you so much. 

Starts first pull; easy to move; powerful on the job site.

Assembling this generator was simple and took less than 30 minutes. It’s heavy yet relatively easy to maneuver even on gravel. Before starting it the first time, I filled the oil reservoir (took the entire liter that came in the box), pulled the starter handle a few times to distribute oil in the motor before running. The start procedure is straightforward and the engine started on the first pull while fully choked. I connected a miter saw and the motor changed rpms minimally when I used the saw...

Quick Assembly. Easy to Use

The generator arrived nicely packaged, but if you have to cut it out so do it neatly in case you have to return it for any reason. It was easily assembled with the help of my husband since it was heavy. The entire assembly, including adding the oil, took about 20 minutes. After installing the handle, be sure to check/tighten the bolt that came already installed on the handle. The handle bar locks making the generator easy to move around. Before adding the oil, check that the drain plug is tight....

Best peace of mind

I'm so thankful for this reliable and affordable generator. Living in Oklahoma has left us without power countless times. I love that it has wheels and a handle making it very portable. Keep your running generator outside. It does have an auto shut off for low oil and CO sensors to keep you safe. We will drain the gas when storing for maintenance and that's about it. Easy to maintain and safe to use when following directions.

Dependable, sturdy, smart design with excellent safety features.

First of all this generator exceeded all expectations – it was delivered on a half pallet and was packaged with care and everything was intact. The box itself requires at least a two person lift if you plan to move the box, as it is 260+ pounds. In my experience it’s easier to be moved once unboxed and using the handle and wheels which is a really smart design element. This generator is true to the DeWalt brand with the color and industrial design. My favorite element is the tri fuel capabilit...

Simple and powerful generator to handle all your needs

This generator can handle anything you throw at it. Set up was very simple and started up instantly with the pull out battery start. The multiple fueling options make for great versatility and love the wattage meter and runtime estimate to ensure you don’t run out of fuel. Straightforward use and could easily power the entire house during an outage.

High Quality and Ample Power

Assembly was quick and easy: bolt on the wheels and handle. You need two 12mm and one 13mm wrench or socket. It's odd that they used two sizes so close together. The build quality is solid. The large rubber wheels add some rolling resistance, but not too bad. The plugs are just like household plugs with four 120 volt and one that is switchable between 120 volt and 240 volt. If you only need 120 volt, there is a switch to enable full power to just the 120 volt plugs. The pull crank looks like it ...

Power and versatility come together while delivering peace of mind

Had this thing for a couple weeks now and am overall very impressed. This is the first generator that I have owned, but have had a good deal of experience with several other models and brands. For those of you who are Dewalt nuts, you may be surprised to find that Generac actually manufactures this product, and Dewalt puts their name on it. Typically Dewalt does not put their name on sub par products , and this does not seem to be an exception. It arrived via shipping on a pallet and was well pa...

It can be ran using gas, propane, and natural gas.

This generator is awesome and so well built. It is ao easy to assemble and move once it is assembled. The handle is an added bonus. It is well labeled so very easy to follow. There are three ways to run it, gas, propane, and natural gas, and it came with the oil, oil funnel, filter, spark plug so it is ready to go!

Small and powerful

The Dewalt 4500/5600 generator is a nice addition to our tools. It was really easy to assemble and the instructions were clear. It even came with the oil. It has 2 three prong outlets & One 30 amp (120V) outlet to provide many options. The 30 amp is great for a camper. The voltage meter & running time are very helpful in knowing how much you are loading it down & the running time so you know how much time you have left based on the items you are hooked up to. We have used it to power our whole...

Great generator for emergencies and power outages

This is a great generator that requires minimal assembly. You only need to attach the wheels, handle, and legs. It is a very heavy machine (165 lbs), so you may need some help. It comes with oil and a funnel, and I used ethanol-free gas to power it. It works great for powering my vacuum cleaner. I got this generator for power outages so I can run home appliances. It takes 7.5 gallons at once, which should run at 50% power for 10 hours. The manual is good, with pictures showing how to start and u...
