In the forthcoming sections, you'll delve into its power characteristics, the various outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the additional features it boasts.
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 is started via a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism.
With a fuel capacity of 6.7 gallons, the DXGNR5700 may run for around 10.5 hours at 50% load with a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.64 GPH).
Outlets
The control panel features 5 AC outlets as follows:
Due to the featured twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the DXGNR5700 is transfer switch ready: you may connect it to a breaker box to power your household during a power outage.
Portability
With dimensions of L27.2 x W27 x H25.7 in, the standard open frame design of the Dewalt DXGNR5700 provides stability and easy maintenance access to components, as well as good air circulation. The featured design is ideal for the outdoors and all tough environments.
While the generator is considered to be technically 'portable' (in the sense that you can move it), manually lifting and transporting it may be challenging, due to its high weight of 172 lbs. 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
Designed with a digital data center, the control panel of the DXGNR5700 grants you access to crucial data on the lifetime run hours, ensuring practical monitoring of its status and activity.
The generator allows for a quick, easy and convenient assessment of its gas level, as it is equipped with a built-in fuel gauge.
Regarding security, the generator comes with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), providing peace of mind during operation.
Accessory-wise, along with the previously mentioned features, the Dewalt DXGNR5700 is packaged with the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), helping you start the device right away.
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).
- At a weight of 172 pounds, the Dewalt DXGNR5700 places in the expected weight range of the generators in the 5500-6500 rated wattage range. If weight matters to you, one of the champions in this power range is the Genmax GM6250iET with only 102.6 pounds.
- 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. For those prioritizing autonomy, the Pulsar PG7500 could be considered, as it offers one of the longest run times among generators with similar power output, reaching around 13 hours.
- The run time is important, but also hugely depends on the capacity of the fuel tank and doesn't mean much if we don't talk about fuel consumption as well. At a 50% load, the generator consumes an estimated 0.64 gallons of gasoline per hour, falling within the average consumption range of units with similar output. If you are concerned with gasoline efficiency, having a fuel consumption of just 0.38 GPH, the DuroMax XP7000iHT is a device you could look out for.
The bottom line
- GFCI Outlets
- Decent weight (172 lbs)
- Decent run time
- Decent fuel efficiency
- No electric start
