Zoom on the Dewalt DXGNR5700
In short, the Dewalt DXGNR5700 is a portable generator adequately designed for:
- RV travellers who wish to upgrade their experience to another level
- People occasionally participating in outdoor fairs, festivals or events
- Food truck owners who want to ensure that their business is fully self-contained and does not rely on potentially unreliable external power
- Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
- Professionals who want to ensure that a power failure will not prevent them from working
Over the following sections, you'll uncover its power characteristics, the selection of outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it includes.
Power & Run Time
The Dewalt DXGNR5700 houses a 389 cc Dewalt OHV 4-stroke engine, which provides 120/240V, consumes gasoline and delivers a running wattage of 5,700W along with a peak wattage of 7,125W.
This generator gets running thanks to a traditional recoil pull-start mechanism.
Thanks to its 6.7 gallons fuel tank, the DXGNR5700 can run continuously for around 10.5 hours at 50% load on a full tank (with an average fuel consumption of approximately 0.64 GPH).
Outlets
The control panel includes the following 5 AC outlets:
Since it boasts a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the DXGNR5700 is engineered to be transfer switch ready, ensuring easy integration with your breaker box to provide backup power to your home during outages.
Portability
With dimensions of L27.2 x W27 x H25.7 in, the traditional open frame design of the Dewalt DXGNR5700 ensures stability while allowing easy maintenance access to components and promoting effective air cooling. The device has been designed for tough environments and demanding outdoor use.
Since the generator weighs 172 lbs, it could be potentially be difficult to manually lift it and transport it, even though it is technically considered to 'be portable' (in the sense that it is movable). Nonetheless, the limited maneuverability is compensated for by utilizing its wheel kit and its folding handle, which facilitates shifting once the generator is set on the ground.
Features
A digital data center, one of the features of the DXGNR5700's control panel, gives you information on the lifetime run hours, and thus, is helpful for the monitoring of its activity and status.
A built-in fuel gauge allows for a quick, easy and convenient check of the fuel level of the generator.
In terms of security, the generator features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), ensuring peace of mind during its use.
Regarding its accessories, besides the aforementioned features, the Dewalt DXGNR5700's box includes the typical documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), letting you start it right off the bat.
The Dewalt DXGNR5700 versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Dewalt DXGNR5700 compare to generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).
- With a dry weight of 172 lbs, the Dewalt DXGNR5700 falls within the expected weight range for generators in the 5500 to 6500 rated wattage. In terms of weight, one of the champions in their power range is the Genmax GM6250iET, standing at just 102.6 lbs.
- Given that the DXGNR5700 reaches an autonomy of around 10.5 hours with a full tank and at 50% load, it is placed within the average autonomy range of similarly powerful generators. If run time is one of your main concerns, the Pulsar PG7500 could be worth looking at. It boasts one of the highest run times among units of comparable power, lasting around 13 hours.
- While the run time is an important parameter, it is dependent on the fuel tank's capacity and thus, doesn't say much on its own unless we consider fuel consumption as well. The generator utilizes approximately 0.64 GPH of gasoline at a 50% load, placing it within the typical range of fuel consumption seen in products of comparable wattage. If you're placing a high priority on fuel consumption, the DuroMax XP7000iHT, with a low fuel consumption rate of 0.38 GPH, could be an option to consider.
The bottom line
- GFCI Outlets
- Decent weight (172 lbs)
- Decent run time
- Decent fuel efficiency
- No electric start
