BEAST - 10,000-Watt Surge All Weather Electric Start Generator, Removable Control Panel, 420cc, 15 HP, 100% Copper Alternator--(not sold in California)

It works as advertised, HOWEVER, it came with a dead battery, and i can not get it to take a charge. in addition to the dead battery, the negative battery cable was too short to connect to the battery.
the generator started up on the second pull, came up and ran great. i do wonder what the "oversized muffler" it says it has (it is very large for the engine) is their to accomplish, this generator is louder then a harbor freight generator. And the generator head in it has a disturbing bearing noise, almost like the bearing is dry, time will tell on that.
also came missing a bolt to lock the wheel axle in.
all things considered its not a bad generator, but its loud enough to where i am getting a 250' cable to run to it, keep it far away from the house.

Assembly is easy, takes about 15 min. The reason for 4 stars is the battery is completely dead and will not charge. Had to contact customer service for the manufacturer. They shipped a new battery, took about 2 weeks. This seems to be a problem with this generator. Many reviews also stated bad battery.
Generator works as it should, not the quietest, but not the loudest either. I like the removable control panel.
Would have been 5 stars if it arrived with everything in good working order.

the beast 10k is an excellent buy for the size, however several areas of concern. the cable wires to the battery are very short and take a lot of work to connect and the heat shield is almost impossible to remove and replace .Installing the wheel kit also is very hard . as for other comments I had the same problem with a DEAD battry, however DXI will replace it.

I received the generator and it works the way it should, minus the auto start. It had a dead battery when it arrived and I called the manufacturer to remedy the problem. Even after replacing the battery the auto start won't turn it over. It does however start easily using the pull start. They wouldn't reimburse me the full amount of the battery so I ended up spending $40 more than what I should but I have a generator that works and that's all I care about. It's definitely worth the sale price.

I bought this generator (DEK) through Home Depot on 8-2-1019. Generator was delived two days before promised date. This was great. I have since unboxed and put wheels and stand legs on. I did have a minor issue with the battery. It was dead as a brick. No matter. I called DEK about this and found this company to be more than happy to help me out with this problem. This company told me than that all I had to do is buy a new battery for generator and send them the bill (max $60). I did buy one,but I chosed not to send bill for a refund. I have since had this generator running. I am very peased with it. It runs great and meets all my expectations. If anyone wants to buy this generator from HD please know the service after the sale by the company is the best I have run across. I must also say I recived 3 follow up calls from this company checking if all went as hoped. As a manner of personel reason I did not send a request for the $60. I was and am so pleased with the service this company offers after the sale I felt ok as things stood. Knowing the company is there for you when needed is worth alot more than the money. Thanks for your interest. N B.

Very easy to assemble , great customer service !!!! Generator is like no other , you can remove the panel and plug the 4 prong extension directly to your home transfer switch , It can be raining , snowing and its very safe to operate , or you can bring your panel through the window and still leave the generator running outside with no risk of injury . There is no other generator that can do this without being at risk to get shocked or electrocuted. Why buy a generator worth thousands if this generator is the best. By the way the engine say's its built buy Stanley !!!!! Excellent product . I will add photos later !!!

WHAT A GREAT GENERATOR....My only issue was the battery was dead upon arrival, so I needed to charge it up 1st. Not a huge deal, after it was charged, good to go, and it runs like a BEAST, HAHA. I am very happy so far....!

I had received the first one and some drove a forklift threw the engine. I got the second one and that was perfect. It only took about a month and a half to receive. It starts first pull. The only thing is that it came with a dead battery. However, DEK was quick to respond to my replacement ticket request. They are sending me a new battery three days after I received the generator. I will be happier when I can use the auto start on the generator

What a great generator, lots of power, plus a remote plug in box and cord. Remember folks, sometimes the generator may sit for a while, and you will need to charge the battery up. Simply attach a trickle charge to it overnight, or pull the recoil starter to get the generator started, and it will charge itself while running for a bit...!

Went together real nice except for the battery. The battery cables are to short and a real problem hooking up.

Great Generator, Quiet, Powerful, Electric Start, arrived on time and as promised.
