Great Generator

I bought this when I had no power after hurricane Ian. I was able to run my refrigerator, fans, TV, satellite, phone chargers, induction cooktop, and instapot. Filled the tank with 4.7 gallons of gas in the morning and would get 15.5 to 17 hours of straight runtime. My brother-in-law seen almost the same runtime using propane.

Nice features

Only had the generator a short time but, I like the fact that it's dual fuel, has the RV receptacle, and is relatively small for the capabilities it offers. It's a nice-looking unit and started with three pulls out of the box using propane. Time will tell, but pretty happy with it so far!

Operated flawlessy

I bought this in a hurry to save our frozen food after Zeta last year. Easy to set up and start. It ran two refrigerators via 12 gauge extensions and didn’t seem to break a sweat! If we get a storm this year I am ready. The price was reasonable and the size is manageable.

Good value

I purchased to have supplemental power in the event of an outage and to have if I purchase an RV. This is a good value compared to other comparable units. I liked that it was dual fuel and had the TT-30R in addition to the L14-30R and 2-110 volt plugs. It is light and compact. As mentioned in previous posts this unit could use some improvement on packaging and arrived with some dents and scratches because of the lack of support within the box. However, the dents and scratches appear to be cosmetic. The oil and funnel were convenient and and the unit started easily. I ran on gas and propane which were easy to switch from one to the other.

Well made!!

Bought this after some research on different name brands generators and cost. I ended up being persuaded to buy this brand. Love the 2 types of fuel options, heavy duty material it is made out of, includes everything you need. Can't wait to use it when needed!

Great Generator

We bought this generator for winter and summer time since our electricity will go out every now and then. I just like that you are able to use either propane or gasoline so whichever you have on hand that will work. For our trailer home it is the best thing we could get!

Great product

This is a nice and compact generator, and it does not take up much room in my garage. The generator is well-built, 5300 running watts is perfect for my needs. The reason we purchased this generator is because we lost power for 5 days due to Hurricane Milton.

Works as expected

Easy start. Works as expected. The manual has a page for assembly, but the real assembly instructions were not in the book but on the reverse side of a maintenance poster. Would be nice if frame was designed better for oil draining or if some tube was included. The supplied tube for filling could be an inch longer but it works.

Dual Fuel

I bought this generator (WGen5300Dfv) for camping and for home use during storm power outages. It's the perfect size to accommodate home essential appliances and light enough to power up RV. I appreciate the "Dual Fuel". Propane is both easier to transport and easier to find during storms when everybody is looking for gasoline. Propane is easier to store as well. Great generator

Great generator at an awesome value!

After much research, I purchased this generator as it seemed to have the best combo of factors for my budget. It is compact, lightweight, and very maneuverable for its power and is built very well. Besides the main selling points such as dual fuel, I appreciate the small details like outlet covers, lower decibel rating than some competitors, included engine oil, and its attractive blue color that doesn't scream as loud as most other generators. Very satisfied with my purchase.
