Best Generator For The Money

I bought this generator in case we suffer shutdowns of stores and interruptions of utilities during the Democrat violence planned around the November elections. After unpacking and attaching the wheel kit, the generator started easily, ran smoothly, and put out the rated output from each receptacle. I plan on hooking it up to a standard Square D transfer panel to supply most of my household circuits.

Exactly What I Was Looking For

After going 9 days without power after Hurricane Beryl ravaged Houston and having to borrow my friends generator, I promised to buy one as soon as they were back in stock. The generator was super easy to put together! I appreciate that it comes with the tools and funnel needed to add oil and do basic maintenance. It’s very straightforward to use as well. This was the only generator of this size that I could find that offered duel fuel capability and was still reasonably priced. It fired up easily, switches between the two fuel sources seamlessly, and is quieter than some generators I’ve dealt with. Hopefully we won’t have to use it any time soon but it’s nice having the peace of mind that we’ll be able to power our necessities should we lose power again.

good beginer's generator for RV fun!

Good product, except for the leak on the bottom of the carburetor, the membrane on the needle from the fuel selector handle mechanism is faulty, it leaks gas, I was able to fix it, It works perfect. I am happy with it. It provides good power to my RV A/C and refrigerator with no issues.

Thankful!!

We bought this after Hurricane Helene barreled through our little town leaving destruction behind. Generators were hard to come by and we found this one out of town. It powered our freezer, fridge, lamps and other small appliances that we needed to get by until power was restored a week later.

Wgen5300DFv - Solid product thus far

As of now, My generator has been excellent. I haven’t yet had the opportunity to really test it during a power outage, or any other time of need, but it came just about fully assembled and without hassle. After installing the wheels and feet, I simply poured in the oil, started it up after a few pulls, and run it through the 1 hour break in cycle without any issues. given the specs and features, I feel confident it will stand up to anything I’d ever need it for.

nice!

After our electricity went out last winter for several days I decided to buy this generator for my home. It is summer now and I feel that we will be having power outages again and this time I am prepared. I chose this generator because it had excellent reviews and I now can say that I have tested it out for my home and it is very easy to use. It is not as noisy as others and easy to hook up to propane but the other option is using gasoline which is great too. It has plenty of outlets to connect plenty of appliances if needed. It also is easy to move around . The instructions are easy to follow.

Great product for the cost and super easy setup

This is a great product for critical home power needs, wasn’t looking to power entire house and this fits perfect. Easy setup and dual fuel options is outstanding. This way I don’t need to store a bunch of gasoline, I can break up what I store into both gasoline and propane.

So Far All Good

I just received my generator today and was easy to assemble (put on wheels), was easy to add oil with the supplied funnel that screws into the oil port and was easy to start. I am currently using only propane as it comes with a decent length hose and easily attaches to generator. It took a couple of pills before starting but it did have to get the propane into the system. It ran nice and smooth and did as it should when I hooked up a good sized leaf blower to see how it reacted. I haven’t added gas as I won’t use gas until an actual power outage that I hope doesn’t come.

I bought this generator after Hurricane Helen swept through my local Sam’s Club. For a novice, it was easy to function, maintain and it AMAZINGLY provided electricity for the house up to 12 hours per gas refill!!!! I am very grateful for this much needed resource!!!

Runs well, good price

Bought as back-up power being I live in hurricane country. I did my homework and decided on this generator. It started right up and runs very quietly for a generator of this size. I'm getting my house wired today so I can plug it in and not have to run wires. The ability to connect my house to the generator was a key factor in making the purchase as well. Also, the fact that it can run on propane is a plus.
