Great Features and Easy Set up

I bought this generator to replace another brand that will not start. Got it delivered within a week and was easy to set up and start. I think this unit will run more than the old generator so it will handle all of our needs as we gear up for hurricane season.

Just what I needed

The generator came well packaged and only required putting on wheels and adding oil. Started right up. It's a great advantage to have the option to use gasoline or propane to run the generator. Its powerful enough to keep the sump pump, fridge, microwave and portable heaters and other appliances working in the event of a power outage. Don't forget to purchase a cover to protect the generator when running out in the elements.

BAD Gas
5 out of 5 stars review

Runs on Propane!

Recently purchased the unit runs great on propane. With all the problems with storage of gas, going bad and gummed up carburetors, propane doesn't go bad! This is a replacement for a gas only of similar size. I am sure it will perform fine when needed.

perfect for hurricane prep

I bought this generator as a main piece of my hurricane kit, and it has proven to be very useful. Obviously it does an excellent job for running power tools/pressure washers in the garage but it also worked great in power outages for running a refrigerator and a small ac unit. Overall I couldnt be happier with this unit.

Easy to assemble and store

Opened my generator today and it took about 15ish minutes assemble the few parts it had. It came with the majority put together and in good shape. It is heavy but with the wheels and handle, it is easy to transport and move around. We also have some built shelving and it fits well under the last row of shelving, on the ground.

New dual fuel generator

I just got the generator. Easy to install wheels and feet. Added supplied oil and am beginning with propane. Started right up. Using propane as that is what I have and prefer to store when not in use with an empty fuel tank. Seems to be just what I was looking for, clean lines, compact and fairly quiet. Again, I haven't used for its intended purpose yet so only 4 stars.

Perfect Size and ready to use

First time having a generator. Living in SC it is not often that we lose power due to storms but when we do, primarily due to ice storms, it could be up to 2 days before the snow/ice melts. The generator is compact but the feature I like the most is the ability to use either gas or propane. The unit is compact and very easy to operate. With a peak of 6400 watts, and normal running power of 5300 watts, there is enough power to go around for the essentials in times of need.

Easy start

Bought this after power lost from Hurricane Ian. Put in oil and gas, quick read on features and instructions, and it fired up on the second pull. Ran great. Put in 2.5 gallons to start and ran several hours, maybe 5?, didn’t watch the clock, just watched the gas gage.

WGen5300DFcv

I purchased this product in anticipation of Hurricane Idalia. Thankfully we did not need it; but it is nice to know we have power back up in the event of another storm. We lost power last year after Hurricane Ian and we do not want to go through that again.

Ideal size generator for my requirements

Bought this following Hurricane Ian as an emergency power source and am very glad I did. I haven’t had to use it yet as an emergency generator but, once set up (fixing the stand and the wheels was simple), it started almost first pull and ran smoothly. Good to be supplied with basic tools and the LPG connector - I’ll probably run it most often on LPG. Very good value and just the size I need to power all the essentials in my house.
