Features & Price

I bought this generator to supply electricity to selected appliances and lights during power outages. After determining my needs and researching found this generator fit all my requirements and was within my budget. I now have it all ready to power up when needed. Very happy with purchase for now.

Great price and easy to use!

I got this as a backup for increasingly frequent power outages. If you follow the instruction manual closely you'll be up and running pretty quickly. This is my first portable generator and I'm very pleased at how easy it is to start and use. I plugged a few different things of various loads and it was able to handle them with no issues. If you're not familiar with generators, definitely take the time to read the manual--you'll be glad you did. :)

Easy to read use manual, easy to start

I set up the generator outside my garage and used it to power my table saw and Miter saw. I was able to complete my project without a lose of power. I ran out of gas on one occasion but was able to easily switch over to propane so I could finish my project. It was not as loud as I thought it would be.

Clean and works great

Overall very happy with the purchase and features. Love the ability to have both propane and gas options. The generator is a bit heavy, but is reasonable for 5k watts. It is also a bit load, but also as expected from reading the reviews. Everything is as advertised and would recommend as a general purpose generator.

Travel trailer generator
5 out of 5 stars review

Dual fuel generator

I bought this to power my travel trailer and really enjoy the ability to use propane and gasoline. The generator isn’t too quiet, but we use it for the air conditioning which pretty much covers it up. It is heavy and takes two people to unload. Overall, impressed with it so far.

Dual fuel system

After losing power several times this year and the fact that you never know what might happen and how long power may be off , I decided to purchase a generator. There’s was some damage to alternator cover and to frame ,but started on second pull. Not sure how much use I’ll need, but will have it when needed.

Am someone with no generator experience . This generator was very easy to assemble with clear and precise instructions. Everything I needed to get my product up and running was there (including oil). Test ran everything without a hitch. Just waiting for power to go out to use. would highly recommend

Great Generator

This Generator perfect for my needs, 5300 watts and dual fuel. Looks and runs great, with nice features like RV & 220 volt plug in, love the funnel that was included with the threaded end that screws in to the opening where oil plug is so there is no mess when adding or changing oil. Very happy with this purchase.

I purchased this little baby just in case.

Although I have yet to operate my new Wgen5300dfv, I’m quite happy with how small it is and how I have the luxury of not having to be dedicated myself to just petro fuel which if left around for to long can go bad. My only regret was failing to acknowledge during the ordering process that I accidentally ordered the WGen5300Dfv without the electric starter. Can’t wait to get this baby running.

Reliable Generator

We bought the Generator for any emergency. We were able to put it together in less than 20 minutes and get it ready to start. The starting took a little time, the engine does not start right away like I am used to with other portable devices; however, once it started it run flawlessly. I run the break-in process and so far it has been very dependable.
