              can you connect a air compressor to this?
              ByAug 12, 2024
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hello, this will depend on the model of air compressor that you are trying to power. As long as your air compressor wattage fits within the 6600 starting watts and 5300 running watts then this will be able to run it.

                      Cheap junk WGen5300dfv
                      Spark plug cracked on second day of using it. Not quality reputable brands like ngk plugs or any big name brands for the carb. Air filter was like tissue paper. Plug was fouled too so carb was running rich wasting very expensive ethanol free gas I bought especially for jt. The tires feel like a little tougher version of Styrofoam 😂 Everything will rust like crazy no matter how or where you store it. First time I changed oil after it's stoped working on the end of second day and the oil was black with grey tint. Don't buy this I think there was even a recall on these in 2019

                        I just bought this, we have had several hurricanes here in Florida and need a reliable generator. It works very well! I love that it is powered by gas or propane.

                          Started right up!
                          Purchased in July and have just now unpacked it to set it up. It started up after just a couple of pulls. Works great and ready to go for the next hurricane season

                            Glad I found this. It's so easy to start and run. The handle tucks away and very helpful. I love that it's Duel fuel although I'm only going to use propane it's much safer than gasoline.

                              Good generator
                              I received the unit today and was pleased with it. It was well packed and easy to access. The instructions are plain and easy to read. I assembled it and started it at about a 10% load and was surprised by how quiet it is. The panel is well laid out and easy to use. Used it with gasoline today. My plans are to use it with propane when I can get it connected to my tank.
