Remote Battery Start is a major plus

I just bought the WGen5300DFc unit. This is the second one I bought, the first one was a WGen5300cv and was damaged in shipping and that model came with the feet and wheel assembly. This one didn't. Concidering the size and weight you would think that would be a standard item. The Remote Battery starter was one of the main reason I ordered the unit. I am happy with the product so far but I haven't use it yet. The amount of power provided is more that enough to run the most important items of my house in the event of power outage.

Poor handle design

I had problems right away as the generator would not start with the battery. I had to have the charger hooked up then it would start. I finally found the problem as a 10 amp fuse holder on a red wire from the battery was wedged between the front panel and the motor. The fuse was missing and was in the shipping bag cover. I replaced the and it started right up. I bought a wheel set for it also and made a thinner washer for one wheel. As I was pushing it back into the garage the whole unit tipped over because the handle does not lock in the up position and it landed on my foot and smashed my right foot. Very poor design!!! Other then that it runs great

A great running unit

Well I bought it to run the appliances in the camper for deer hunting. I am glad I did. It does a better job than the smaller unit we had. I love the remote start. Do run it in a well ventilated area like the manual says. I did not when I was trying it out at first and found out the CO detector works good and shuts the unit down.

Outstand set of features with lots of power.

I have owned several generators and had a good idea what I wanted for my girlfriend. It had to be powerful enough to drive a transfer switch yet light enough for a woman to move on her own. Pulling a cord to start isn't a big deal but for some reason women don't like it, so an electric start was important. In addition it had to have a fuel guage. My last generator didn't have one and it was a guess when the fuel would run out, which it always does in an emergency. The last thing to worry about when the power grid goes down. The WGen5300DF fits the bill nicely and is very well priced for the wattage and feature set. The remote is a nice touch though its one frill I find unnecessary.

Nice 5300Watt Generator

I needed a generator I can move. It was dual fuel which is a plus. So far propane companies don't want to hook up to it from a larger tank but haven't given that option up yet. I think they are just wanting a larger installation to sell to. It starts easy, on battery, a little manipulation of the choke position which is supposed to be automatic. Wish it had a voltage gauge to say what was being used. Also an hour meter to say when it needed oil changes and maintenance. They give u a puny oil funnel and tube that's bent up. They cud do better there. Tube is not long enuf. It's not noisy. Won't upset neighbors unless ur in an alley. It looks solid and well made, once running sounds smoothe. Set up instructions could be a lot clearer and not all different pages in the manual. One had to be intelligent to follow it all.But got there in the end and am quite happy after all the research I did that I bought one good for my needs. I would not put anyone off buying this make and model. Looks good to me so far.

GREAT GENERATOR FOR THE PRICE

I bought this after researching so many generators. I found this one by mistake and immediately bought it. I wanted the duel fuel just in case there was an emergency and gasoline wasn't easily obtainable plus you can store propane forever unlike gas. It does not have push start which is kind of a bummer however I got to thinking how often I will use this and if will only be for emergencies so that luxury is just that a luxury. I'm happy to have this for emergencies. It makes me feel comfortable and makes me feel safety for my family especially living in Florida with hurricanes. I've been through so many and have gone without power for over a month multiple times. Now I have this to save my food and run a window unit. Better safe than sorry

Great generator!

I bought this generator after a "hard" winter freeze and power outage. I heard and read plenty of good reviews. So, i am happy to have made this purchase and know that i have the proper generator in case of another power outage. Plus, i can use in my utility shop whenever i need to.

Push button ease.

This purchase is an upgrade from my old generator. It is connected to a six circuit transfer switch. The need usually arrives during bad weather. No more going out into thunderstorms at night to start the generator. The push button is indoors next to my transfer switch.

Great Features

I bought this a few days ago to supply backup power at my house in case of power outages and for use at my hunting camp where there is no power available. I like that it has the 50 plug as well as the 30 amp twist lock. Haven't got to use it yet because it arrived damaged in transit, but I will be replacing it immediately with the same model.

Easy to set up

I bought this after a storm left us without power for 3 days and we had to replace our food. We figured that if the power went out again, it would cost just as much to purchase a generator as it would to replace our food again. Power went out after hurricane Debbie came through and I didn’t have to replace my food this time, so I’m happy. The day that the power went out, the generator was still in the box because I’m a bit of a procrastinator :) it wasn’t difficult to get the generator up and running out of the box once I found the choke and realized that the choke was already set the way it needed to be. I used the gasoline option. I have never dealt with propane for anything, so gasoline was my go-to option. Perhaps one day I’ll try out the propane option. Right now, I’m realizing that a benefit of using the propane is that once you are finished with using the generator, you can just detach the tank. Right now, I have almost a full tank of gasoline sitting in the machine that I will have to go to the store to get something to keep/store so the gasoline doesn’t go bad in the generator.
