I bought this back in September and got it all put together pretty easily got the oil it and just needed to put gas in it and run it. A month and a half later after purchasing it I finally get some gas and put it in and now it will not start. Nice looking machine just disappointed that it would not start.

I bought this generator due to Black Outs. I simply bought a tt30plug used a large cord I had from a RV and back fed the unit into my house panel flipped the main off shut off as many appliances as I could in the house (fans, lights, TVs) fired up the generator and it kept 2 refrigerators and deep freezer running works great.

So right out of the box I have a gas fuel leak coming from the gas shut off valve. I'm not upset, but hope other owners will inspect their units before using full time. If left unattended this leak could have caused a fire. I'll be reaching out to the manufacturer for a replacement. On a more positive note. The generator fired up first pull with no issues and ran for a while until I found the leak.

I bought this for emergency prep and camping. Have already used it several times. We had a job site on our street hit a water main that started a massive flood. They didn’t have a way to power their pumps and I happened to be driving by when it happened. I wheeled out the generator, hooked up the propane tank, and ran it until the problem was fixed. They were grateful and I’m glad I could help. I love the dual fuel option!

I purchased to have on in case of emergency first time started with 2 pulls. It is a loud generator but that won't matter if there is a power outage. I like the little things like oil, funnel, and tools that come with it. Will try to update review once I get it hooked up to my transfer switches, and get some hours on it.

This generator was very easy to assemble the few required pieces such as the legs and wheels. The overall appearance of this model is very nice. It has sufficient outlets for most needs and applications. It can be configured for standard 110 voltage and two outlets for 220 volt applications either 3 or 4 plug. The choke settings are easy to read. The fuel settings are simple and easy to understand. The power switch is easy to use as well as the voltage selector for either 110 or 220 volts. It is a good medium duty generator in terms of the wattage and amperage produced 5300 watts and 30 amps. It is sufficient enough to power my whole house for the most essential items such as my furnace, refrigerator and some small appliances, the most important being my COFFEE MAKER and some lighting applications. I intentionally pushed the unit and the fuses operated properly. The carbon monoxide alert is a nice feature and functioned properly when I tested the generator in my garden shed. The folding design of the handle to move the unit is far superior to other designs. It has two mounts on both sides of the frame and the handle folds neatly down. The only minor downsides are the system display and adding oil. It would have been nice if the generator oil capacity was a full quart instead of approximately 75% of a quart. The funnel to add the oi is DEFINITELY needed. It could have been just a little longer by approximately two inches so a better bend could have been achieved to add the oil. The display would have been MUCH better if it included wattage and amperage being drawn. Overall though I give it 5 STARS.

Already assembled, just had to put on tires and mounting feet. Oil was provided, so put that in with some ethanol-free gas; followed easy instructions, and the generator started right up. We ran it for approximately 10 minutes on gas but have not tried propane yet. Excited to use it as backup power for home next time we need. So far, very pleased.

Bought another brand and it wouldn't start. Returned it and bought the Westinghouse WGen5300DFcv. It was very easy to set up. Was the same price as the other brand and had more features and more running watts and peak watts. It started on the very first pull. It has falf the noise of my old generator and vibration is minimal. I ran two freezers, a refrigerator, and a couple of lights and a fan with no trouble. It looks sturdy and it looks good.

I BOUGHT THIS GENERATOR YESTERDAY AND PUT THE WHEELS ON AND ADDED OIL AND FIRED RIGHT UP. I'M USING PROPANE AND IT WILL RUN EVERYTHING I WILL NEED NEXT TIME WE LOSE POWER. BEING ABLE TO RUN GAS OR PROPANE WAS THE MAJOR FACTOR FOR PICKING THE WGEN5300DFV. I HAVE RUN IT THROUGH ALL MY PERSONAL TEST AND IT PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.

Bought this unit to supply power in a horse trailer living quarters and as a back up for grid failures. Not the biggest unit but can be handled by wife and dual fuel is a plus. Had some initial regulator issues but techs were great and got the parts ordered ASAP. Quieter than anticipated and fingers crossed for durability.
