Powermate PM0105007 Reviews & Ratings

Powermate Vx 5000
By L. C.
Hot Springs, Arkansas
Purchased 02/01/2013 |
Review Posted 02/25/2013
The unit was purchased based on the specifications listing run time and power available. It was delivered within 10 days of purchase, easily assembled within 45 min., oiled and gassed. It started up first time on one pull and the unit tested well with sevral appliainces connected. It has yet to be tested in storm and a power loss situation, but I feel very comfortable with its capabilites and ease of setup.

Recently used during Sandy
By Brian D.
Hicksville, New York
Purchased 03/13/2012 |
Review Posted 10/30/2012
I just wanted to notify you that I purchased this generator this past spring, and the first time I actually used it was this past weekend when I set it up for possible use when Sandy arrived.
Well, I must admit that it worked admirably and kept my refrigerator, television, lights, and charging ports for lights and phones working. It is remarkable. I used it for two days, for approximately 15 hours, and it ran without any complications. I only used a little more than a full tank of gas.
I am glad that I made this purchase. My thanks to your rep- when I spoke to him he provided recommendations that proved useful.
Thanks again and your shipping was absolutely great!

Xmas Gift
By Robert
Myerstown, Pennsylvania
Review Posted 12/21/2011
I just received my new Powermate generator. The features were the reasons I selected Powermate. The shipping worked out fine since I specified I would pick it up at the trucking terminal. The assembly was simple, the manual has more warnings than actual information. I was very disappointed in the oil filer/checker pipe. It is in the worst possible place anyone could think of putting it. After Xmas I may get to try out how things really work

GENERATOR - GOOD QUALITY - LIFT HANDLES - BAD QUALITY
By DINO
SEAFORD, New York
Purchased 09/19/2011 |
Review Posted 10/11/2011
I'm very happy with my purchase - tested out just fine - loaded 4800 watts (out of 5000 possible), and performed outstandingly. The only negative are the lift handles - one actually broke off where it was soldered and became completely useless. I called Powermate to send me a new one. Also, the pins holding the lift arms in place are very awkward and difficult to use - almost have to force them in by jiggling the arms a bit. Otherwise, a great purchase - and highly recommend this Powermate 5000 continuous watt generator !
