WGen5300 DFcv

Bought this generator in June but I cannot give a 5 star rating simply because it came with damaged parts and I am still waiting on some to get it serviced. I want to be able to test it already and I will come back for another review or update this one as soon as I get it up and running. I am positive the damage came from the delivery process, but I just want to get all parts so I can test it and I have been waiting too long.

Great generator!

Love this generator! The push button start makes it so easy to use. I always struggle to start pull start equipment, so it's so nice to know I won't have to worry about that anymore. Where I live, we get all kinds of severe weather that can cause prolonged power outages. It's such a comfort to know I'll have the generator to help in those situations.

Hurricane Ian Recovery

We are very pleased with this generator. We bought this right before Hurricane Ian made landfall to SWFL. We live in South Ft. Myers, 4 miles East of Ft. Myers Beach, the hardest hit area. This generator exceeded our expectations!!! We used it with gas and with propane. It turned on the first time every time. I would recommend this product to anyone. Directions for use were easy to follow. It's easy to hook-up the propane and fill it will gas. It was study and didn't shake or make weird noises. We didn't have power for 5 days and this generator did a wonderful job keeping us cool. We plugged in a portable AC unit and a few fans. We ran it all night and it never died. We even plugged in the washer on Day 5 to wash clothes. We can't thank you enough for making a generator that worked the first time, in our time of need. If you need a generator this is the one for you. Great product at a great price!!! Thank you

great feature

Needed for power outage during hurricane. Compact. Easy setup. Easy operation. sturdy but light enough for a 75 yr old woman to move with ease. Flexibility to use propane or fuel which in time of hurricane shortage offers more opportunity for maintaining refill storage.

Easy Start and Ready Out of Box

Received the generator today and easy to set up. Bolt on 2 wheels and lower guards, add oil that is provided and filled up with fuel. One pull and it started right up. Had it running in the back yard and ran some equipment from it with no issues. Sound is not too loud. Purchased this in case electricity goes out at home so hopefully will not need to use it. Great to have as insurance and saving food in our fridge/freezer. Glad we decided to purchase

generator

Just bought this Generator yesterday.It was easy to set up and only took a few pulls to start. We let it run a little over the hour it recommended before we hooked up our stuff. We put almost a full tank of gas and it actually 12 hours. This was running a refrigerator,two small fans and the tv. So far I'd say this is a Great product.

Great dual fuel generator

This product is great. Shipped on time and assembly was easy. I was expecting to have to do much more since it is duel fuel. Actually was just putting in the oil that came with it and easy funnel also that was included. Started right away and smooth and quiet. Great product.

WOW

Bought to run my Travel trailer, and for power outages in Hurricane prone Louisiana. Absolutely blown away. Easy set up. Initial start up took three pulls to start up the engine, after that one pull to start. Only hooked up to my Travel Trailer so far and it worked perfectly. Turn on the A/C, Lights, and microwave and it didn’t even miss a beat. Extremely pleased.

Haven't needed it yet but....

except for the oil dipstick being in a really funky and hard to get to spot; setup was a breeze! I wish the manual told you how much oil you need but since it came with a bottle of oil that is 3/4 of a quart and that filled it, we're gonna assume 3/4 of a quart. Was a breeze to get it to start for the first time! Not too noisy, for a 4 cycle combustion engine.

Great Features

I bought this during hurricane 🌀 Beryl and it's kept my fridge and deep freezer going. While running fans with no power for a week with no problems. Easy set up and start up. Like the features of when to change the oil with the blinking indicator.
