so I live in an area where there's a lot of hurricanes and anyone around here would know that the gas pumps get backed up real quick by people trying to hurry up and get gas when storms are coming so the fact that this takes propane also is going to save me a lot of time and aggravation! I love that it comes with wheels so that I can easily transport it to wherever we need to use it and that it takes regular engine oil not the two-stroke that becomes hard to find. Great purchase!

Ordered this on a Friday and was delivered on Monday. Setup / assembly was easy, filled with oil and gas and it started on second pull. (haven't run it with propane yet). Unit ran well through the break in procedure. Am confident this unit will power everything needed in my house the next time power goes out, which happens fairly frequently with storms here.

Purchased this product for peace of mind. I didn't remove it from its box for a couple months and just recently assembled and tested it out (on propane only so far). The good: It ran smoothly and wasn't too loud for a non-inverter generator. I ran an electric space heater (1500W) and no problems, as it should be since the generator is rated 4800W on propane. The bad: It took 8-10 good pulls to get it started -- not a deal breaker, and possibly a first-time startup thing, but it did take more pulls than I had anticipated. (I'm no stranger to pull-starts). What is more alarming is that at this time, 12 days after unpacking, the frame is showing signs of rust and either the powder coating is flaking off, or it was never completely powder coated that well to begin with, leaving exposed steel that is now in very early stages of corrosion. I've kept the unit in a shed (covered on all sides), this is a little disappointing.

Purchased the WGen5300DFv to have available in case winter storms get bad this year. This model has everything we needed out of the box - including an oil funnel, which is a great feature I'm pleased to see added, and the LP hose and regulator. Very difficult to find this feature set in a dual fuel model at such a great price point. I plan to use the unit with extension cords, but with the L14-30 outlet you can easily connect directly to your home panel, which we might do in the future. Load testing went great and the generator didn't skip a beat. You need to be prepared for the noise - open frame traditional generators are not known for being quiet, but that should come with the territory if you're buying a generator, so this was not unexpected. So far maintenance has been pretty easy as far as the first oil change, although I recommend making a custom funnel to direct the oil out of the drain plug to ease cleanup. I'm satisfied with the features and power of the unit, and if we need it for an emergency, I'm convinced it will perform as expected without issue.

I purchased this unit because I wanted one I could use exclusively with propane. I’m not very handy, so I didn’t want to deal with fuel stabilizer, cleaning it, etc. Propane never goes bad and is much cleaner to use. As soon as I received the unit, I got it all setup, which was super easy, and no lie, it fired up after two pulls. Powered over 4000 watts of equipment after breaking it in for about 30 minutes. So excited for this thing!

Currently, our world situation is unpredictable. With the threat of cyber warfare & possible power grid outages we thought it would be wise to purchase a well-known, dual fuel, dependable portable generator just in case we happen to need one. In case of a power outage, this one will power our refrigerator, freezer, microwave, tv, window unit air conditioner and many other small appliances. Its function and use is easily explained.Being prepared for an emergency was a no brainer for us.

I purchased this generator given that I’m in Florida and hurricane season always is right around the counter. This is a great unit love the options to run off of propane or gas as well. Haven’t had 1 issue with the unit yet. Buy with confidence, everyone should have a generator!!!

Bought this generator for my business and happy that I did. We needed a quiet generator that could power a fryer and run 240V. This one checked the box and we were very happy when we used it. Its very well built, and a good looking generator. The only issue we had was that the clip on the air filter was found broken when unpacking. That was quickly resolved with a call the the customer service line and the new part is on the way. Very happy with it.

We picked this up to use with our camper. I had it out of the box, and ready to start within 5 minutes, kudos for including a bottle of oil and the little tool kit. I have it running, following the break-in procedure outlined in the manual. For an open frame generator with just shy of a 300cc engine, it's rather quiet(no load). I mean, you're not going to have a normal conversation while standing over top of it or anything, but it's not overbearing. 10 feet away and normal conversation can be had. After I get it broken in, I'll plug the camper into it, see how it goes and update the review.

Generator was easy to assemble and easy to operate although the HZ frequency was 63 with no apparent way to adjust and the manual has the wrong schematic that doesn’t show the connection of the L13-40R connection. I will call the tech support line for help.
