Smart Start Design for Convenience and Safety
Routine power outages, rolling blackouts, and natural disasters can cause major disruptions in your life, but being able to generate your own power goes a long way toward keeping you and your family safe and comfortable.
Designed for safe and easy operation, the HW5500E features a user-friendly, one-touch, battery-powered electric start and a simplified power control center with Smart Start features.
The color-coded starting controls are easy to identify and understand, and the generator also gives you the option of using a recoil start if necessary. (The generator includes a four-in-one power cord, and Honeywell also provides detailed operating instructions 24 hours a day at 1-888-RECOIL-8.)
Big-Bore OHV Engine for Powerful, Dependable Operation
Designed to offer you more power and greater durability, this generator's cast-ironed sleeved, 337cc Honeywell Engine is rated at 5500 watts and delivers a maximum of 6875 watts. This is enough power to run a large appliance like a dishwasher, washing machine, or electric range, or to run several smaller, more efficient appliances simultaneously, such as reading lights, a portable air conditioner, refrigerator, computer, and more. (See side graphic for more details.)
Thanks to a SurePower Alternator that provides voltage-regulated power, you can trust that this generator is electronics friendly. Plus the HW5500E provides the outlets you need to support these appliances, with four 15/20-Amp 120-volt AC outlets and a single L14-30-Amp 120/240-volt AC outlet.
Convenient Features and a Truly Mobile Design
This Honeywell generator comes equipped with never-flat tires and a high-leverage handle to ensure that it's easy to transport whenever and wherever you need it most. Additionally, the generator's large, 6.5-gallon fuel tank ensures long run times--up to 11 hours at a 50-percent load. And its oversized muffler is engineered to ensure quiet operation that blends into the background.
The HW5500E also offers a convenient fuel gauge, low-oil protection, and overload protection, letting you focus on your life rather than running the generator itself. It even comes with the first liter of oil and a funnel.
This portable generator measures 29 x 27 x 29 inches (LxHxW), weighs just 205 pounds, and is backed by a limited three-year warranty. Assembly of wheel and handle required (takes about 20 minutes).

Good Choice,

This review is from: Honeywell HW5500E 6,875 Watt 11 HP 337cc OHV Portable Gas Powered Home Generator With Electric Start (Lawn & Patio)
One of my best buys ever. I replaced a manual start generator of the same size. It was delivered to my garage with free shipping. I was able to assemble the unit with little help. The one challenge was connecting the battery (it looked like no one had tested the Instructions). Filled with gas and oil and started on first try. Electrician changed the 220 plug for connection to Transfer Switch. Voltage regulation seems to be very good. Battery is holding charge, but I will add Battery Tender. I will be able to test unit on a regular schedule, because of the ease of starting.

Recieved it today. Was delivered by ABF freight the driver was very gracious. After unpacking and putting together it fired right away and ran very smooth and more supprising was it was much quieter than I expected. Went together very easily, and I will give it a good work out in a couple of weeks, but I expect I will be very satisfied. Dealing with Amazon before and now was very easy and great people to deal with.
Just wanted to add, I am just back from a 5 day camping trip and the generator was ran for atleast 50/60 hrs and the fuel economy was outstanding. I ran it over nite for AC on travel trailer 4 nites 7/8 hours and it burned less than half of a tank. Very impressed. Only thing watch oil consumption as it did use about 1/2 quart over the 5 days. But this was first real use and may be because of breakin.... Ray, Orlando, Florida

This review is from: Honeywell HW5500E 6,875 Watt 11 HP 337cc OHV Portable Gas Powered Home Generator With Electric Start (Lawn & Patio)
I'd not rate it a workhorse, for occasional use it's OK. Not great craftmanship, or great quality. It's a year old now, and the rubber feet are cracked. The bolts for assembly were soft, I replaced some right out of the gate. The carb controls are cheesy. The battery is a cheapo, and the battery bolts are junk. Had I known all this I would not have purchased this unit. I now see a few Generac or Honda powered units at places like SAMS or Northern Tool or the new Ridgid units at Home Depot for maybe a little more, but they look to be much better quality.
That said, it seems to start and run OK, and it has what I needed when i bought it...electric start...which you seem to need to get it running many times.
