Great features with duel fuel use

My family & I love to go camping in our travel trailer & with hurricane season upon us, Louisiana, if we go without power for a few hours or days, this unit will keep up in air conditioning comfort for the duration. The fuel fuel feature is one of the main reasons I purchased. My brother in law has one and raves about it!

Best bang for the buck!

I have been looking for a fuel fuel generator for a while now. This unit started up easily with gasoline, and on the first pull with propane. So far I can not tell any difference in the performance when used with one fuel or the other. Great unit! Works well with full size trailer with no issues.

OK Generator

I did get it started, but after about 5 minutes it just shut off. Started it again and after a few minutes it shut off again. I live in high altitude so I purchased the recommended high altitude kit and hopefully it will run better after installing the kit.

Up and running less than 30 mins

Out of the box and up and running on propane in less than 30 minutes. Tested with various appliances and performed perfectly. Propane option makes storage a lot easier, but being able to run on gas just-in-case is perfect. Heavy, but wheels make it easy to maneuver.

Won't get caught out in the cold again!

This year proved to be one for the record books in Texas. As if Covid wasn't enough, Mother Nature decided to bless us with a Snowpocalypse. Below freezing temps for a week and more snow and ice than we see in a 20 year period. Since it doesn't happen often enough to be concerned, the Texas power grid wasn't prepared. As a result, we lost power to the house for over a week. That made for some really cold days and nights. Swearing I'd never endure that again, I bought this generator based on a large number of positive reviews, price, and the name brand. It's now hooked up via transfer switch to the house, and we're ready for what comes.

Great Choice

After searching and reviewing all generator brands, I am glad I choose this WGen5300DFv. Started on first pull after checking all the settings are in the right place. Switched to Propane tank easily and without problem. This was ordered on line and picked up in store in intact box. Hope to use this generator to power my sump pump, freezer and some lights in case of power outage. I believe I made an excellent choice.

Works Fine So Far

Dual fuel, like the propane power feature. After hooking up propane, you need to pull the cord about a half dozen times to feed the propane and then it starts right up. Seems to be a solid unit. I am in a historically risky hurricane area so I did research for a good generator with positive reviews before purchasing.

Mostly Good

Just got my generator. Assembly went well except the location of the oil filler is very inconvenient. Once filled, it started on the second pull. Also we like the blue colr small size and weight. Works well for our transfer box to power our home.

Got us through Hurricane Milton without a problem!

This is the best investment I have made in a long time! The price was great the performance was awesome and I would definitely buy another one if I had to. So easy to operate that my mom could do it. It powered multiple appliances when we needed them the most unit ran 4 days straight without a hitch due to power loss from hurricane Milton.

Very Nice Generator

I bought this to power a 28ft Travel trailer. My previous generator would not work well at altitude; 9800ft., it wouldnt even run a 900W microwave. This unit powers up the entire trailer, including the AC, with no problems. It is bigger, heavier and a little louder. The wight is offset by the nice frame and wheels which makes it easier to move around. I really like that it is dual fuel, dual voltage and all the plugin options. Have not taken it on a trip yet but looking forward to our first outing using this generator.
