Great generator

I purchased this generator to provide power during natural emergencies, work in remote locations and as backup for my RV. Set up took less than 10 minutes and generator started right up. Tested in my garage to power up 2 portable heaters, refrigerator and air compressor with no issues whatsoever. I love the fact that this model supports both gasoline and propane. Switching is easy and helps in prolonging power availability. I would highly recommend this generator and I am totally satisfied with this purchase as a good value.

Easy setup everything you need but fuel

I bought this as a backup for the freezer. My wife & I liked the duel fuel as we have other propane appliances. I had it running in 20 min. including assembly. It comes with oil, a propane hose and tools to assemble. I don't have gas so I started it with propane. Two pulls and it fired right up. If the Total Harmonic Distortion was lower I would have given 5 stars. However electronics is not the main concern.

Wgen5300DFv

I bought this product 6 months ago and after finally using it for the first time I was let down as it had a hole in the fuel tank and I was forced to endure 3 days without electricity in the humid texas summer and after further inspection I found a broken line too

easiet generator to operate

i bought this generator because my son in law recommended it because it would run on propane and i would not have to keep a can of gasoline sitting around for it. i can just take the cylinder from my gas grill and put in on the generator to start it up. really this takes two pulls and it starts up. how can you get better than this?

Great generator for our needs

We just received our WGen5300DFv. We were able to easily put the wheels on it. The oil and funnel included made it easy to get ready, and starting it is very easy. It runs very quiet for a generator. The pull up handle and large front wheels makes it very easy to move around. It's a great size also. Very happy with this generator and easy to follow instructions.

Great generator for the price and features

Bought my generator three days ago it was easy to put together in less than 10 minutes fired it up with propane let it run for a short time with a small load of 2000 watts. I was impressed at how quiet it was and very little noise level change after hooking up small appliances to test. Right now without long-term usage I would recommend this generator with confidence

Good value for cost.

The generator is as expected. The power is as advertised, at times maybe even a little more. We run only propane and it was super easy to get set up. Easy start, runs fairly quiet compared to others I have used. Only two complaints are that the oil needs to be replaced very frequently at 50 hours of use and the oil drain is above the frame of the generator. This causes oil to spill on the frame and run across rather than fall down into the collection tray. Very poor placment. Otherwise, great product.

Awesome Generator

I bought this several months ago after some heavy research and reading many of the reviews online. I like this generator because it has the duel fuel option. I purchased this for power outages in my area. It gives me a piece of mind that when the power goes out I will not have to worry about losing all the food in my refrigerator and chest freezer.

Simple Setup and User Friendly

I bought this item due to recently buying a travel trailer, use it to help open the slide and power the trailer up when I’m not near a plug in works great. Not to heavily to lug around and works great with the 30 amp plug, would recommend this to only my Travel Trailer buddies

Great generator for the price.

I bought this because I was tired of dealing with the power outages everytime there is a small wind storm. I got this model because it gives me enough power to run my refrigerator, sump pump, lights, Air conditioner or hear when needed. It also uses both gas and propane fuel so if we have another hurricane that knocks out the power and gas stations aren't able to pump either from not having power or not able to get a delivery at least I can still buy propane canisters and refill them giving me options. You will need 2 people to put this thing in your car and bring it home in the box. I did find out it was easier to get out of my van with it out of the box. As of yet I haven't experienced any major power outages so use is limited. But this item comes with a 3 year warranty so I think I'm safe as for this generator lasting.
