Great Price

An excellent generator to power the necessities during a power outage and, portable enough to take in an RV. The reasonable price and dual fuel option were the determining factor in choosing this unit. Propane can be stored almost indefinitely as opposed to gasoline and that alone raises the dependability level of the unit.

Excellent for the price

Outstanding generator, easy to use has dual fuel capability and very easy to use. In addition I like the simple additions/features such as the electrical plug dust covers and the lift handle. The price is right!!! I needed this generator in Feb. 2021 when we here in Texas had that snow storm that knocked out power for 3 days...I'm ready this year...

seems to work, but it's extremely hard to start

I just bought this generator brand new. followed all of the instructions, filled with the supplied oil and attached my propane tank. I could not get it to start after over 50 hard pulls of the cord and changing the choke settings and verifying the switches, re-reading the manual a dozen times. then I filled it with brand new gasoline, switched the settings to gas and still had a lot of difficulties to start it, but luckily it started after about 30 hard pulls and changing the choke settings. the next day, I tried again and once again, it took about 20 hard pulls and it only starts with the choke on, which is different than what the manual says. I am praying that this generator will start when I actually need it.

A Perfect Plan B

Very Excited about this product in case of any longer than expected power outages due to storms in the area at times. Also the fact that its dual fuel insures we can adequately prepare ourselves more with multiple types of fuel in advance! Excited to begin using it as necessary!

Easy to use!

I just bought the WGen5300 after living in Florida my entire life I figured it was about time. We have had a couple multi-day power outages that left everything in the fridge ruined. I plan to use this for the fridge and an AC window unit. I think the set up was rather easy and I was able to get it started on the first pull after turning the choke on. It wouldn’t start leaving it off per the instructions so turn it on and then off right after it kicks on.

Great Product!!!

Bought my new generator after my last hand- me-down on did no start this hurricane season. Easy to set up and it started the first try. Love how it can be powered by gas or by the propane tank on my BBQ grill. I have even used it to power up my pop up camper with the 30 amp plug.

Easy to assemble

I bought this a week ago and all though I have not used it during a power outage after assembling (which was super easy) and put gas in it and started it which only took 3 pulls is was a lot more quite then I expected and ran really good cant wait to try it with propane!

Quick and easy set and use

Set up was quick and easy, put on 2 feet and 2 wheels, install oil with provided funnel. Wish the funnel, which screws in(nice feature) was a tad longer. Put i 4 gallons of gas , set choke, 3 pulls and it fired right up. Supplies all that I need for temp power outage. 2 standard house plugs, 1 RV plug, 1 quick connect (which with a converter cable from big box store will get you 3 more standard household plugs. I ran a small room heater, gameconsole, internet modem and cell phone charges no issues. Great addition to my security in case of a power outage.

Works great

I bought this generator right before hurricane Milton. I am so glad I did as we needed it after the storm. It was easy to assemble and start it up. It ran all day on a tank of gas and was able to run our fridge and some other items in the kitchen as well as some lights, a few fans and our vacuum. I am very happy with this generator.
