I purchased this generator last year and have used it twice for a few hours each time. It starts on the first pull and is very fuel efficient. This generator is awesome and well worth the money.

Powermate Had Some Issues.....
By Dennis
Seville, Ohio
Review Posted 08/01/2011
Received generator in timely fashion with R&L Carriers, but it had some minor forklift damage as the top of the frame was scraped up from the forklift blade puncturing the carton. Additionally, I did not receive any of the nut and bolts hardware to assemble the generator's handles and wheel kit. I called Generators Direct and was told to call the manufacturer to get the mounting hardware in a more timely fashion. I did so and a week later I received the nut, bolts, spacers....etc... Overall an OK experience, and a good price (I did alot of research), but I did find the same generator for $50 cheaper after I ordered it while looking for power cords. Check for "hidden forklift" damage as I expect my product to come in better condition when I'm shelling out over $1000 for a generator (GX390).

Great Company to Buy From
By Patrick

Review Posted 03/01/2011
Electric Generators Direct have knowledgeable experts that can answer your technical questions. After I ordered, my generator was on its way with 48 hours. I received it 4 days after I ordered it. The delivery company was professional and on time.
The box containing the generator was in perfect condition. It was a great transaction. After filling with oil and gas, the generator started on the second pull of the rope and was producing electricity as designed.

This Generator is a Winner
By Kevin Rohrer
Medina, Ohio
Review Posted 08/13/2009
I got this generator after the bad storm last September and powered most of what needed to be powered by using extension cords for ten hours.
I have since had a 10-circuit transfer switch installed. Earlier this week I used it for 14 hours, providing us with water, light, computers, TVs (and surround sound), a fridge and separate freezer, microwave, and stove.
I plan on having another 6-circuit transfer switch installed and powering more lights. I only wish it was big enough to power the AC, but that requires a separate 50-amp circuit.

In The Dark

Review Posted 12/29/2008
I Bought a Powermate Generator Model PM0558023. It ran for 25 hours. A hot wire came off the 240V plug, shorted, and took out the Stator. With the closing of the factory, I have to incur the whole cost for repair the wire was improperly installed at the factory. Sucks to be me!

Review Posted 12/07/2007
I like everything about this unit. The shipper service was very poor, however, everything else was good. Very prompt processing and delivery by the supplier. Before I could start or run the unit I had to install a longer fuel line from the tank shut off valve to the engine, the one it came with was too short and created a kink which restricted the fuel flow dramatically. Was not a big deal and it runs great now. The Honda 13 HP engine is way louder than I expected even though it has a giant muffler, I'll accept the noise for the Honda reliability and long life expectancy.

Recently used this generator during an icestorm lost power for 2.6 days. It was very easy to use and with a transfer switch its like never having to lose power. This is an awesome machine and would reccomend anyone to purchase it.

Review Posted 01/15/2007
I purchased a Powermate 5000 during a major ice storm that crippled Kansas City a few years ago. We ran the generator for 10 days straight, until power was finally restored. Since then we've used it in two more outages that lasted a few days. It powered the furnace, refergerator and other misc power needs without a atrain. Since then I've added a manual 6 position transfer switch. No house should be without one. The 5000 runs all night on 5 gallons of gas. Great buy!

Review Posted 12/29/2006
We recently had a 6 day power outage from a huge windstorm. This generator was able to run all the lights in the house, the furnace blower on the gas furnace, the media room and all the movie gear, the microwave and dishwasher (though not those two at the same time) the computers and DSL modem, refrigerator and freezer. We combined it with the Reliance 10 circuit 30a power transfer switch and wired it up to balance out the load pretty good. With all the lights in the house on, the furnace, the TV, Amp and DVD player and running the Crockpot we are reasonably below half load on each circuit and thus get about a 10 hr. runtime on a tank of gas. Overall the only thing I was disappointed in is the loudness of the generator. The specs say it is one of the quieter ones and maybe it is, but it is still a little louder than I expected. Overall it works quite well and doesn’t choke when you turn on the coffeemaker like the 4Kw one we had before. 4 ½ stars. Would be a 5 with a slightly quieter muffler.

Review Posted 06/26/2006
I purchased this generator after a 2 day power outage in January. It sat in the garage until this past weekend when we where without power once again. Unit started right up and we were up and running in no time.
Generally, I am impressed with this generator, I don’t keep gas in the unit as the fuel tank is vented and I don’t want the gas fumes in the garage.
I would recommend this generator to anyone who needs more then just the bare necessities during a blackout.
