Power & Run Time
The Dewalt DXGNR5700 is powered by a 389 cc Dewalt OHV 4-stroke engine. It delivers 120/240V, runs on gasoline and offers a running wattage of 5,700W as well as a peak wattage of 7,125W.
This generator gets running thanks to a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism.
The DXGNR5700 boasts a fuel tank capable of holding 6.7 gallons, allowing it to run continuously for around 10.5 hours at 50% load (with fuel usage averaging around 0.64 gallons per hour).
Outlets
The control panel provides the upcoming 5 AC outlets:
As the DXGNR5700 holds a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: you'll easily be able to connect it to your breaker box to power your home during a power outage.
Portability
Measuring L27.2 x W27 x H25.7 in, the classic open frame build of the Dewalt DXGNR5700 delivers stability and easy maintenance access to components, facilitating air circulation. The generator is designed for ideal use outdoors and in rough environments.
While weighing 172 lbs, the generator is classified as 'portable,' indicating its mobility, albeit its heftiness may limit portability in specific situations. However, the constrained maneuverability is addressed with the assistance of its wheel kit and its folding handle, allowing for easy shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.
Features
The control panel of the DXGNR5700 includes a digital data center, which assists you in monitoring its status and activity, as it provides information on the lifetime run hours.
Featuring a built-in fuel gauge, the generator offers quick, convenient, and easy gas level checks at a glance.
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.
Along with the aforementioned features, from an accessory standpoint, the Dewalt DXGNR5700's box includes the typical documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), which will help you start your generator promptly.
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. Regarding dry weight, one of the champions in the same power range is the Champion 201239, with a dry weight of only 111.6 lbs.
- The DXGNR5700 provides around 10.5 hours of runtime at a 50% load on a full tank, placing it within the average autonomy range among similar generators. Concerning the run times, one of the several devices with a comparable output, offering the highest autonomy, is the Pulsar PG7500, which is able to run for around 13 hours.
- Run time is a key metric, but it's dependent on the generator's fuel tank capacity. Therefore, discussing fuel efficiency is necessary for a complete understanding. This generator has an estimated fuel consumption of roughly 0.64 GPH (gallon per hour) at a 50% load, rendering it somewhat average compared to devices of a similar output. If not satisfied with the afore-mentioned fuel consumption, you may wish to check out the DuroMax XP7000iHT. With a fuel consumption of as little as 0.38 GPH, it is one of the most efficient generators currently on the market.
The bottom line
- GFCI Outlets
- Decent weight (172 lbs)
- Decent run time
- Decent fuel efficiency
- No electric start
