Life Saver

I live in Southern Louisiana. We bought this in March in anticipation of the 2021 hurricane season. We were without power after Hurricane Ida for nearly a week and the generator worked like a charm. We were able to run our fridge/freezer and phone chargers for small periods of time to keep things charged and cold. I also appreciate the fact it can run on propane as well as we learned it was tricky to keep it running because of the gas shortage due to the hurricane.

Perfect generator

I bought this a few weeks ago and couldn’t be happier with my decision. It offers the perfect amount of power to run my Fridge, chest freezer, internet, tv’s, charge phones etc. I plan on strictly using propane to avoid the hassle of storing and rotating gas.

WORKED BETTER I EXPECTED

I BOUGHT THIS GENERATOR YESTERDAY AND PUT THE WHEELS ON AND ADDED OIL AND FIRED RIGHT UP. I'M USING PROPANE AND IT WILL RUN EVERYTHING I WILL NEED NEXT TIME WE LOSE POWER. BEING ABLE TO RUN GAS OR PROPANE WAS THE MAJOR FACTOR FOR PICKING THE WGEN5300DFV. I HAVE RUN IT THROUGH ALL MY PERSONAL TEST AND IT PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.

Surprisingly Quiet

Bought this generator to stay hurricane prepared and have been impressed ever since the first pull, which started it right away. This generator is surprisingly quiet and runs great on propane or gas. Currently have it hooked up to two large chest freezers without any issues. 10/10 would recommend!

Love this Duel fuel Generator!!

Got this for Xmas to run my workshop and the wife's b**** barn both, for lights, heat/ac, and to be able to use power tools as well. This thing works wonderfully... Only issue that I've been having has less to do with the product, and more to do with the product manual/troubleshoot guide. Issues and questions, I've been having aren't listed in such guide, and I have no clue how to find answers.... Help would be great other wise great product!!!

Runs amazing

I bought it today and it fired right up and ran amazing. We were out of power and it made our life way easier. The packaging and stuff that came with it was awesome too. Generators don’t usually come with a little tool bag and kit. We love our generator

BEWARE!! Piece of junk that will not start

I bought this generator before Hurricane Ian hit Florida. After the hurricane I tried to start it and was unable to. I followed the starting instructions to the letter. I finally was able to start it the following day after trying for over an hour. When I had to turn it off to change propane tanks, it would not start again. I tried for 2 hours. It is ridiculous it is that difficult to start this machine. Never again will I buy a pull start generator. Beyond frustrated!

Great Value

I recently purchased this generator. Very minimal and easy assembly. After putting the oil in it fired right up on propane, three pulls for first start. I'm surprised by how quiet it is! Connected it to my house and it powered my house perfectly! We'll see about longevity but out of the box its great! Wish it had electric start but I see that as a convenience. Great generator!

Dual fuel and useful features

I bought this generator last week during an unexpected power outage caused by freezing weather. I had this up and running within 30 mins . Managed to save all the food in my two deep freezers and my refrigerator. I did not exceed the 50% capacity of the unit as I did not have time to correctly break the unit in. I alternated appliance usage and Generator performed flawlessly for the 12 + hours I had it on . It started easily and was not as loud as my much older generator. It is lighter and much easier to move around . It has convenient 30amp RV hook up so I can use it when I go camping too.
