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

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

Model TGA-0253 5500 Watt Dual Fuel: DO NOT BUY
Recommend: DO NOT BUY. Repeat: DO NOT BUY Problem: Oil Level Sensor circuit DISABLES electric start after several hours run time. Oil level: FULL. If you stop the the generator after running for several hours, the unit CANNOT be restarted with the electric start. That circuit becomes completely disabled. The only way to restart the generator is to remove side panel, set the choke, and then pull start. As you can see by pictures, I bought 2 of these generators to run RV AC 24/7 during Las Vegas summer. Highs are avg. 110 F. Lows are avg. 85 F. I use LPG only. Fuel consumption 0.45gal/hour. Both generators have the same problem. I discovered this issue shortly after purchasing the first generator. When I shut down to replace the LPG tank, the generator would not restart. Starter circuit remains disabled for hours and hours. Same issue with the 2nd generator. If you shut down and expect electric start then forget it. You must manually choke and pull start. I have 654 hours on generator 1. And 208 hours on generator 2. Built Hard Customer Service: All they do is say they will consult with their engineering and get back with you. They never offer any suggestions or solutions. I assume it is a offshore call center and there actually is no support available. They text only. Conclusion: The generators perform well when they are running. However, this model generator CANNOT be reliably restarted once it has been shut down. I believe the oil level sensor is faulty and causing the electric start circuit to temporarily fail. Note: both generators will restart normally if they have not run for 10-12 hours. Which is why I bought 2 generators. I run unit#1 for 12 hours and then shut it down. I then start unit #2 and run it for 12 hours. Each generator gets a 12 hour rest. Otherwise it's, remove side panel, set the choke, and then pull start - a big hassle and extremely frustrating. ... show more
