Description
Zoom on the Dewalt DXGNR5700
To sum up, the Dewalt DXGNR5700 is a portable generator tailored for:
- RV travellers wishing to enhance their freedom and nomad lifestyle
- People occasionally participating in sporting competitions, open-air performances and outdoor festivals
- Food truck owners who do not wish to see their business interrupted under any circumstances
- Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
- Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
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
Running on gasoline, the Dewalt DXGNR5700 utilizes a 389 cc Dewalt OHV 4-stroke engine to deliver 120/240V, offering a running wattage of 5,700W and a starting wattage of 7,125W.
This generator features a manual recoil starter system.
With its 6.7 gallons fuel tank, the DXGNR5700 can operate for around 10.5 hours at 50% load when fully fueled (with fuel usage averaging around 0.64 GPH).
Outlets
The control panel is equipped with the following 5 AC outlets:
With its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the DXGNR5700 is configured to be transfer switch ready, allowing straightforward connection to your breaker box to supply backup power to your home during outages.
Portability
Measuring L27.2 x W27 x H25.7 in, the Dewalt DXGNR5700 showcases a classic open frame layout, guaranteeing stability and simple maintenance access to components, while facilitating air circulation. This type of design is ideal for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.
Despite its weight of 172 lbs, the generator is still considered 'portable,' meaning it is movable, although its heftiness may restrict portability in certain environments or require additional considerations for transportation and setup. However, the limited maneuverability is remedied with its wheel kit and its folding handle, facilitating convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.
Features
Embedded in the control panel of the DXGNR5700, a digital data center serves as a vital feature, offering comprehensive information on the lifetime run hours to aid in monitoring activity and status.
The built-in fuel gauge of the generator ensures simple and quick gas level assessments.
From a security point of view, the generator is equipped with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), giving you a peace of mind during use.
Besides the features previously mentioned, accessory-wise, the Dewalt DXGNR5700 comes with the usual documentation and owner's manual (opens in a new tab) needed to get you promptly started.
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).
- Since the generator weighs in at a dry weight of 172 lbs, the Dewalt DXGNR5700 belongs in the expected weight range for devices which can produce between 5500 and 6500 rated watts. Regarding dry weight, one of the champions in the same power range is the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO, with a dry weight of only 118 lbs.
- With a runtime of around 10.5 hours under a 50% load on a full tank, the DXGNR5700 falls within the average autonomy range among the generators of a similar power. If you consider autonomy on a single full tank as one of the deciding factors, one of the generators in the same power range that offers the highest run time is the Predator 6500, with around 14.5 hours.
- Autonomy holds its importance, however, it is largely dependent on the generator’s fuel capacity and so, it is nonsensible to discuss it without mentioning fuel efficiency as well. This generator reaches an estimated fuel consumption of 0.64 GPH (gallon per hour) at a 50% load, making it average, for the previously mentioned wattage range. If you wish to further improve in the area of fuel efficiency, the DuroMax XP7000iH, which boasts with a gas consumption of only 0.38 GPH, may be the right generator for you.
The bottom line
- GFCI Outlets
- Decent weight (172 lbs)
- Decent run time
- Decent fuel efficiency
- No electric start
