First of all, this generator is good looking. Nothing damaged in shipping, all hardware and items were in the box. Just purchased so other than assuring everything is operating as it should I have not used this extensively. For that reason I will keep my review to 4 stars and report back once I've had an opportunity to put the unit through its paces. In summary, this unit had all the features I wanted and I was please with the price point for it's level of performance. I hope to get many years of service from this unit primarily as a backup power source during storms power outages.

I looked for a generator set that I could USE during emergencies to power my sump pumps during storms and power outages. Also to power my amateur radio equipment if needed. I needed one that could run on gasoline or propane and that is versitile and portable.

We bought this dual fuel 5300 generator due to the instability of out Texas grid in our location. Easy assembly of wheels and legs. Conveyance of using gas or butane. Remember if there is a power outage in your area more than likely the gas stations are out of power too. So you need option to feed your generator. This one gives you those options. Compact and powerful. Started right up on 2nd pull.

I bought this a month ago and very pleased with my purchase. Did a lot of research For a generator that would supply power to my home in an emergency. Found this generator with all of the features and dual fuel for the low price I couldn't say no. The few times that I've had to rely on this generator it starts with the 1st pull of the cord. Highly recommend the purchase of this generator.

The feet were hard to install due to the M8 nut on the frame not being either machined properly or aligned to the frame holes. That is my only complaint. Other than that, the rest was simple. I certainly recommend having another hand to help out, this thing is heavy.

i have been researching which generator to buy. i fell in love with all the features and benefits the wgen5300dfv has to offer . some one else told me about it and i immediately opted to buy it. lets not forget the feature of switching from gas to propane. How awesome is that! Thanks, EM

I bought this generator after reviewing a bunch of them and am very happy I bought this one! Easy to understand instructions and started after about 4 pulls! Would have started after 1 pull probably if I’d a had the choke on! lol Powered up my refrigerator with no problem and ran a hedge trimmer and a corded drill to test it out and that was no problem at all! Gonna invest in a transfer switch and it’ll be all systems go!! Thanks for making a great product!

Piped into my propane line and connected electric cable, and it started right up with just a few pulls. After that 1 pull to start if you choke it first. If engine warm starts with 1 pull. Runs quiet, and stable. Used only 2 hrs during snow storm while power was out. Happy at this point. Time will tell with all the low quality junk on the market now days you have to wait and see. It seems to be solid.

Has many great features. Love the duel fuel switch and the connection options. Only wish it was able to handle the L14-30R outlet along with the 2 household 120v outlets simultaneously...seems like you can use only one or the other at a time. But, starts up on the first pull--runs smooth but is a bit loud. Overall, great value for the money and would recommend to anyone!! W is a long time brand in the marketplace.

We received this recently and LOVE IT! It’s way quieter than our previous one and more powerful! Super easy to start, plus the option for gas or propane will help us a lot no matter where we camp. Recently we lost power at home.., never will we have to decide what we’ll have running.., YEAH!! Thank you for making a reliable machine!
